Default Marten mid roofs?

How does marten hand trucks out? Is it like at gordon where the drivers with the highest seniority get the FL Classics? I really don't want a mid roof columbia due to me being 6'8". Is it just a bit of luck that lands you in a T600 and W9?

It shouldn't be too hard to avoid getting a mid roof. Like the other guy said they will probably work with you because of your height. Those mid roofs got to be about phased out soon. They haven't bought any in quite some time. 8) 8)

DUCK YOUR HEAD!!!!

im 6'4" and i lived in a t600 with no problems. Since you are sitting while driving (hopefully) you shouldn't experience any problems. most seats are able to adjust ride height.... and sleepers are meant to be slept in and are not dance halls...

Just curious, but are the mid roofs standard ones or are they the XT's?

The XT's have the same headroom height (or real close to it) as the International High Rise sleepers.

I've been seeing a lot of Pete 387's wearing Martin colors the last couple months. And like Uturn said..they are running the Columbia XT midroofs...which are not so bad...but they ain't a PACCAR product either!

I happen to be here at the Indy terminal getting service on my truck, so I asked Bob(service manager) and he said slim to none on getting one of these.

BTW-here's the midroof, in question.

Yes, dude, they do. :P 379's, 387's, W-9's, T600's, Freightliners, and Volvo's. :wink:
