FAQs

What is a day cab truck?

A day cab truck is a commercial truck that is used to tow a variety of trailers. The name “day cab truck” refers to the fact that it does not contain a sleeper cabin. That is why a day cab truck is better suited for shorter trips rather than for long, cross-country hauling. 

A day cab truck is also commonly referred to as a cab-over truck. These vehicles are much more agile than a sleeper truck for navigating in urban areas, and while they don’t offer sleeping quarters, they still offer the same functional capabilities. Additionally, the rear windows in a day cab truck’s cabin provide better visibility than a sleeper truck can offer. This makes backing up and navigating in heavily-trafficked areas much easier.

What are the benefits of a day cab truck?

When it comes to hauling freight, a day cab truck can be an excellent choice for short and frequent trips. There are distinct benefits for opting for a day cab rather than a sleeper truck. First and foremost, the smaller nature of the cab means that this truck will provide better fuel efficiency. This saving can add up quickly when you are doing a lot of local hauling.

Additionally, day cab trucks feature back windows in the cab. This makes backing up and hooking your rig to a trailer much simpler. While the overall weight of the day cab truck is far less than a sleeper truck, these commercial vehicles are similarly equipped to handle hauling large loads. A day cab with a fifth-wheel hitch makes it easy and efficient to get on the road. 

How long is a day cab truck?

The length of a day cab truck can vary. In general, the size of the cab itself will be approximately 20 feet in length. Added to that length will be the space between the rear of the cab and the actual hitch. The length will also vary, depending on how many rear axles you need for your specific trailer application needs. A day cab truck has a more compact design than a sleeper truck.

When considering the purchase of a day cab truck, be sure to do your research before deciding on a specific truck. Speak with a salesperson about your specific length needs to ensure that you purchase a commercial vehicle that meets your functional needs. Also keep in mind that each manufacturer will craft the interior of the cab differently, so different interior size options are available. Be sure to consider both the interior and the exterior dimensions of your day cab truck. 

Should I buy a day cab truck or a sleeper truck?

Choosing between a day cab truck or a sleeper truck is a major decision. Each commercial truck offers a unique set of benefits. A sleeper truck is just that – a truck that contains an area for sleeping. It is an ideal choice for OTR hauling since OTR trips can often be three or more weeks long. 

For doing short, regional hauling, a day cab truck is ideal. These trucks still provide a spacious cab but are easier to navigate in congested areas. With windows on the rear of the cab, day cab trucks are easy to back up, allowing for fast hitching and unhitching of trailers. This makes a day cab truck ideal for jobs that require frequent trailer swapping. In the end, the right choice will depend mainly on the exact use of the truck.
