Weight Capacity

While things like sleeper cabs definitely have their uses, a day cab truck is going to be able to handle more weight. The extra material and space used to create the sleeping areas lowers the total amount of additional weight the truck can carry. Day cab trucks, meanwhile, utilize less space and material, allowing day cab trucks to carry larger loads.

Maneuverability

Semi trucks in general aren’t known for being agile, but of the available models, a day cab truck will handle the best. They have a smaller footprint and less space between the front and rear of the truck itself, allowing for a turn radius that’s up to 30-40% tighter. New drivers or drivers in high-traffic, built-up areas will appreciate that difference. You’re also more likely to have a rear windshield and rear view mirror to allow for more efficient reversing and hitching.

Versatility

While a day cab truck won’t be as useful for long-haul trucking, that’s only one kind of hauling—they can actually perform a surprising variety of tasks, including waste collection, grain and farm hauling, and retail cargo shipping.

Affordability

Since a day cab truck is a relatively more basic rig without the need for extra residential-style comforts, they tend to be a more affordable option. If you’re just starting out, adding to your fleet, or looking for your own rig, a day cab can help you stretch your dollar further. Upgrades can always be added on later once your savings have been built back up!

Variety

With more of the focus on the truck’s hauling capacity and short-range capabilities, day cabs tend to have a large variety of options on the market with various features that impact those facets. Many day cab trucks offer optional 4WD, allowing you to better control your truck on difficult routes, for example.
