Even more so now, since the total amount of loads has been down this year. 2. They generally have much lighter loads than a dry van, and can afford to use up some of that on a bigger sleeper.

I got a United truck. My sleeper is only 86" (aerocab). Teal runs for atlas and only has a 72"
 But, in agreeance, the HHG drivers tend to have bigger sleepers. Its better than paying tax on revenue, and putting it into the truck

Saw an Atlas T-2000 mid-roof last friday evening, at the TA in Prescott AR, with a 110" sleeper. Looked like the O/O had the frame stretched himself...not a factory job for certain. You could tell where the Sleeper was sectioned in.
When I see the "Bigg'uns", I like the smooooth styled looks that the units like what the Rev drives, has.
