Super Sleeper Semi Trucks For Sale

Tandem Axles

The addition of amenities such as a bathroom, a kitchen, and an extended living space creates significant extra weight for the truck. For this reason, super sleeper semitrucks are almost always on tandem axles to ensure proper weight distribution and comply with gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) requirements.

Key Considerations For Buyers

Finances. Due to the highly customized nature of these trucks, the upfront costs of these big-bunk trucks can be steep, and repairs and maintenance can be costly. The increased value may also require specialized financing and insurance, which can further drive up the cost. However, the comfort and convenience may be worth the expense for drivers who spend long stretches on the road.

Payload. The extra amenities of super sleeper semis increase the weight of the truck and will likely lower the payload capacity. It is important for individuals considering the purchase of one of these extended sleeper trucks to verify the GVWR to ensure it can handle their hauling needs.

Resale value. Super sleeper trucks are a niche market, but high-quality units that are well-maintained can retain their value well on the market and can be a good investment.
