Freightliner uses the term "condo" which refers to their tallest sleepers. Their most common sleeper is the 70" condo. I'm not sure where you get suite from. Kenworth has sleepers that are called "studio" sleepers which have a bed that folds into a couch.

Condo has become generic term for any double bunk walk in sleeper.

I have a condo sleeper. I fold down the top bunk and use it for storage. I drive a '05 Freightliner. Very driver friendly. Lots of storage space.

Volvo Sleeper
My last truck was a Volvo 770. It was set up basically like a Freightliner. This truck now is actually a daycab (truck without a sleeper) that is streched out and a nonfactory sleeper is added. It has plenty of space. Shower, 37 in plasma TV, home theater system, sat tv, stove, oven, ect. are some of the options it has.

Have you guys seen recent moving trucks? They have a sleeper area, and then behind that, they have this big cube-type area. Is that second compartment there for the clients, who are moving, to ride along with the semi? Maybe when the clients are moving, they go along with the semi, so they save money on plane tickets. Never worked for movers so I dont really know. :?:

Nope that's a custom sleeper for the driver has nothing to do with clients a driver with this set up probably has no home ...It's basicly like an RV they come with Shower, stove ,sink, Ect . I don't know what a set up like this weighs but I'm guessing alot , So I would immagine it's only practical when all of your freight is light such as household goods . |
