Stretched frame Tractors
cowboysevens replied to Sergey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
you can spend upwards to $100,000 on a custom sleeper, and the comforts are only limited to your imagination, anything you have in a home can be in a sleeper including the kitchen sink and washer and dryer. alot of the moving vans AKA: "bed buggers" that you see with the big sleepers dont carry heavy loads, they travel around the country to expo's like computor shows etc. and they have alot of down time so they get the big comfortable sleepers so they dont have to stay in a motel. some of the big sleepers you see on the road just have a contract carrying the same light load like my step dad has a 140 inch ( i think ) on his new truck , but all he hauls is specialty aircraft parts. most over the road trucks can not have a big sleeper like that because they are to heavy and take away from the load whieght availabillity. dennis -
Stretched frame Tractors
cowboysevens replied to Sergey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
well sergey there are a few reasons for "strecthed" frames, lol yes one of them is because they look "sick" but also for load whieght distribution, and load length compinsation such as a load of rebar that is 60 feet long can fit legally on a 48' or 53' trailer with out special permits cause they hang the access off of the front of the trailer. here in the U.S. your load can hang off the back up to 4 feet with out a permit and or pilot car, but it has to have lights and markers, anything over that requires special permits, special driving times etc. etc. depending on the state your in. hope this helps dennis -
