I want to get into trucking, but I want a truck with such a large and well-furnished living area that I literally never leave the road. I do not want to own a house or have a home. I want to live in the truck full-time and do that for years and save a shitload of money. Is there such a truck?

Yes, here is one, and there are some larger ones. If you plan to buy one brand new, you're looking at a half million or more dollar price tag. I've met drivers living in their truck with much smaller sleepers, and they seemed to be doing alright.Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 2 years ago, 1 minute later, 39 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #1,278,583

I am willing to invest up too a million dollars, because with my saving on rent, mortgage, etc. for decades, I will save tones of money. What brand and model is that one?

Ok thanks!! I found an article about these. I want one with shower, toilet, and kitchen, and a nice comfy bed. What do you drive?

A Peterbilt. I used to like freightliner, but the first time drove a Peterbilt, I was hooked. 18 speed, smooth shifting, excellent jake brakes, great with wide turns.
It's time to start driving. Gotta pick up in Charlotte NC, and be in Evansville IN Wednesday morning.

Didn't you make a thread a few months back claiming that you retired? You sound like you're full of shit.

How do those work with length/weight restrictions? I thought the standard combo was built right up to the limits 🤔

Calm down son. Yes, I did say I was just about done, but I put it off for at least another year. I was unaware I had to run everything by you for permission first.

I'm not sure how much those larger sleeper trucks weigh with just the cab. The larger wheel base between the steer tires and the drive tires offset the overweight limit between the cab and the trailer.
Most trucks that big(not all of them) will pull trailers with spread axles, which helps offset the weight on the trailer to make the weight limit legal.
As for the length, I not really sure how that works. I don't know if the longer cab is permitted because of the offset weight I mentioned above, or if they need to have a permit on their license.

Listen kid: a lot of us tolerated you being here because there was an unspoken agreement that your mom couldn't put down the crack or meth pipe. etc. etc. We were nice letting you hang out here because it's hard to imagine any other place on earth that would.
But if you're going to lie to us and then come back and pretend like it never happened? What? Like we're complete retards? Then fuck off. Fuck right off.
No one here will ever take you seriously again. Ever.

Listen you waste of baby batter. I tolerate you because you're an lolcow. I only feel bad for you because your mom didn't swallow you.
> But if you're going to lie to us and then come back and pretend like it never happened?
What, exactly, did I lie about? Nowhere in that post I made several months ago did I say I had already retired from driving.
> Like we're complete retards?
So far, the only one who has proven himself on this site to be a retard, is you. Congrats!
> Then fuck off. Fuck right off.
I did with your mom while she was at the truck stop. She was nothing exciting. I've had better.
> They are. I literally know nothing about trucking.
That's why you should learn to be silent and learn.
> Of course I don't because I don't know shit.
We already knew that.
So continue keeping your fat ass in your parents basement, sit your beanbag chair and eat your Cheetos, and be a keyboard warrior. I'm sure everyone here is terrified of you.

Looks like you've warmed up now hahahaha. Good. The extra blood flow will hopefully improve your cognition. Let's begin with the real discussion then: No one is impressed or interested in the fact that you drive a truck. It's a low-wage and low-skill occupation. Hundreds of millions, if not hundreds of billions of people do it every day. It's not remarkable or cool in any way. The only thing that's remarkable is that you'd think it is AND then you'd go out of your way to lie about it.
Here's all you need to understand, slugger, when dealing with someone with limited intelligence, a lot of people naturally feign interest. "oh wow!" "tell me more!". Take a look back at your life. That's pretty much all there is to it. It's because you make them feel so incredibly awkward that they are at a loss of how else to respond. It really pokes at the core of what it even means to be human, seeing someone like you.

Funny that a self-proclaimed trucker would say anything about a fat ass hahaha. I'm surprised you're even convinced you have a daughter. I doubt even a lot lizard could find your dick hidden in all the fat. No, someone else cumming into your wife doesn't mean you have a child, the paltry financial support you provide notwithstanding.

You aren't the intended audience here. But I'm happy that you feel like you're somehow being included in this, enough so that you felt the need to respond.

Sorry you haven't been included as much as you feel is owed to you. Make a new thread and tell us about yourself. I and probably several others would be happy to give you a fair assessment of where you stand free of charge. I don't think you should worry too much though, because I doubt you have anywhere near the problems that The Trucker has. Few here do.
But enough about you, let's leave this thread for The Trucker to explain himself. He needs all the space he can get. There's a lot of unanswered questions about them that need answers. I don't say this lightly.

Why do you care what I care about? If you don't want to hold the Trucker to any standards whatsoever, then that's on you. I guess I just have a little more respect for this place and the level of respect I give and request of others than you do.
