Buying the Right Sleeper Truck

Trucking is a vital industry, and it can be a hard one to stay in—but the right equipment can make a world of difference. We here at California Truck Centers want to help you stay comfortable and safe on the road, so we’ve put together some tips for buying the right sleeper truck, below.

Sleeper Features

The draw of a sleeper truck is, of course, the built-in rest and sleep space in the cab, but not all sleeper truck cabs have the same comfort and safety features. You’ll want to determine whether you need a full bed or just a comfortable nap space, whether you need a lot of storage, and whether or not you might want a small kitchenette or infotainment system. Each upgrade will cost more money, of course, so balance your budget with your needs to land on the right truck.

Conventional Features

Of course, the main point of the truck isn’t just operator comfort—it’s a machine built to move cargo, so you’ll need to keep in mind:

• The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) to know how much weight the truck can carry including trailers, add-ons, passengers, and cargo
• Dimensions of the body, if there is one, and what type of body it is—for example, service or utility bodies
• The type of cargo you’ll primarily be moving and what storage needs it has, like refrigeration or more comprehensive tie-downs
