Black trucks are much bigger than White trucks. :?

I run a Volvo 770 (77" sleeper). My company also runs Volvo 670's (67" sleeper). The 2 models have the same wheelbase. I just don't have as much room behind the cab.

Japanese trucks are really small. :)

My truck USED to be smaller than some trucks.... but then I bought an additive called X-10's!!

Now, well face it..... it IS bigger..... AND wider! :shock: :lol:

And yes.... it DOES make it harder to park! But, I STILL like the challenge of a tight alley dock!! :wink:
