Best interstate rig, with a turning radius of Wisconsin.
Yeah I see a cool RV/motorhome pretty much, which would be beyond cool to have, but I just dont see the profitability of hauling freight with it
I swear I just told my friend just about the same thing but used Missouri as a ref point to turn lmao.
jim crawford They haul freight with it just high dollar specialized loads
@@joshuastevens5910 dont believe that for a second, but continue kissing his ass
more akin to Texas
driveshaft is a lightpole
😆
No doubt must haul feathers, 29k plus.
Its FWD no?
@@joshuadalton6063 lol no
No different than a bus.
"So I started turning right in Idaho, I'm almost done and I'm in New Mexico now..."
Right?
So true 👍
Hahahaha
I just literally LOL'd! maybe because I was just thinking how in the world were they going to maneuver that with the trailer hitched to it!?!?
certainly.....
...
...
with the help of wind drift
I would sign up for this lifestyle right here on the spot if I had this rig. Me and my dog and making deliveries with a smile on my face ear to ear
I would be a mad SOB if I was behind him at an intersection
The light would be red before he got the dam sleeper through it 😂😂
Wayne Wilks bro that’s not even a sleeper that’s a fuckin camper
Facts..🤣🤣
Bus
Lmaoooo
😆🤣😂😹
*Fuel economy has left the chat*
Did you mean off the chart? 😂🤔
I wonder how many gallons per mile it gets
you dont need a trailer when your truck is the size of one 🤣🤣
Kenworth: we want to make a 10-wheeler sleeper truck.
US leaders amongst themselves: so which middle East country should we liberate??
It's Practically a super C motor home now. My 40' diesel pusher gets me about 9.5 mpg.
Since it's geared as a truck maybe about 6 to 7 mpg with no trailer 🤔
It's all fun n' games 'til Swift tries to back in next to you at 2 in the morning.
Lmfaooooooo dawg your too funny. I’m in my sleeper cracking up out loud by myself. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@An Austrian Painter that's why you turn on your markers and your flashers so that they have something to look at in the mirrors
@@yahooaol160 hows trucking for you?im 18 and im real interested in getting in it!
@@keepitretrox become a swift driver. They are the best
It’s a beauty. God bless the crew that owns this, may you always have safe travels.
hah, god bless xDDD
May God bless the driver with 1569 acres to make a left turn.
@@weshartman1894 lmfaooo
"well no sir I can't back in to the dock. I'll just drop it at the nearest interstate exit"
What do you think a rig like that would cost?
@@TNBlackTieGuy my guess is between 250 to 300k
You don’t dock trucks like that. You pull heavy haul so your permits will cover the weight of the truck.
The asshole has a gig, give him a break.
@@TNBlackTieGuy $350k
When you have a Ceiling fan it’s no longer a truck it’s a Mansion on wheels.
Ceiling fan: پنکه سقفی
LOL danm
I'm gonna need a mansion
Literally said the same thing the Ceiling fan said it all
Dispatch: "Our depot is a little tight, how much space will you need to get your Rig in?
Driver: "Yes"
All of it lol
Lol
More like: No
“Give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this rig around” more like give me a whole state 😂😂
Where’s the bed?
I would like to name this elegance “The Lot Lizard Deluxe”
Hahaha
This deserves way more likes .. lmao. So here you go
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Don't even need a trailer, just run that business in the truck.
Somebody is going to need 80-acres to turn that thing around.
With a pup trailer lol
@@jimcrawford3259 and pup are short XD
Wonder how a bus driver navigates a longer buss then
@@ktmkarl busses dont have semi trailers behind them , now you know.
@@jimcrawford3259 yeah I've never seen or been in a 45-foot tour bus hauling a 30 foot trailer behind it. Smh
I love my 4 cylinder Japanese cars but these things you guys build are just amazing.
Probably talking about a Corolla or something
@@Kr4jwrx
I wouldn’t say amazing, more like pointless.
Wow...my first truck back in the 70's was an old International that ran on propane, twin sticks, no power steering that I named Big Red. This is the way to go OTR in style even if it's a bear to back and makes wide turns who cares...I love it.
I agree, but I'd bet you diamonds to donuts that this rig costs more than most folks houses!
That's all well and good, if you spend your life OTR, but even truckers like to have roots, once in a while.
Interior starts around 6:05
You’re welcome☺️!!
Lori W thank you
Thaddeus Smith NP
Thanks ...OMG so long
Yes!!tyty
Thanks. One more lap around and I was gonna puke.
That moment when your truck high centers on the railroad tracks before your trailer even has the chance to
Damn didn’t really think about that lol
😆
and one more laugh 😆
Or the curb while turning in lol
Just very careful what you mine has a button to raise the truck and one on the trailer good for 5 to 6 inches more
Gps: "In a quarter mile, turn right"
Driver: "Oh no!!!!"
I'll admit the truck interior looks incredible though!
This is a Kenworth masterpiece...these guys have been making great trucks since my dad took me to Chicago in a 1968 .. 409 Cummings engine and I was 7 and fell in love with Trucks then...
King of the road. Absolutely outstanding. Work has just become a whole lot easier. I wish you many many years of happy hauling.
That camera man circled the truck 3 times in 2 different spots, I had enough time to make sum coffee, check Instagram and buy some shit off of amazon for Christ sake.
It’s too early to be laughing this hard-so true. And why film something that’s half unpacked vs completely set up?
Hmm true, but you the same idiot that would be at the trucks show for hour with his wife, going back and forth looking at the same truck! Hmm ok, then you go home and watch a painting of a freakin dot on the wall for 2 years and see something different each time. Yeah thanks for the comment, and stopping by, no need to come back.
@Gideon Pioneer I was a reply to a cynical attack, coming from a passerby, please! By the way it was a true response, and you too. They would walk around that truck ten times looking at from top to bottom for an hour, but to get some attention made this smart-a-lick remark! If you don’t like move on, for “ Christ sake” as he remarked!
@@eleganceoneighteenwheelsma7922 don’t let them get you so upset. Keep up the good work
@@eleganceoneighteenwheelsma7922 You have absolutely ruined that poor 990. You want a sleeper, fine, but there is no reason to place that massive fucking ARI on the back and rape your turning circle at the same time
No idea how I ended up watching these Semi truck videos, but they are awesome lol :)
All truckers deserve a sleeper like this. They give a hell of a lot and put their families on the line while driving near endless hours providing for them and don't get a lot in return.
Yes we do
@@JerseyAlmaMC I'm from the UK, & if the U.S. wasn't so stuck with the total waste of space, but obviously fantastic looking long nose, then you could ! Think 'Scania Longline' but longer.
Someone has lots of money and loves trucks. It’s beautiful
I’d like to see him back a 40’ trailer to a dock off a street in NYC.
Me too. That woul'd be funny.......
He's probably running DOD loads with short trailer. Meet another team that is what they run with their rig like his
Boston as well!
Gives a whole new meaning to (Give me 40 acres) lol!
@@1towmater1 that's right. they haul stuff like jet parts, etc.
Yuppppp
Elegance is definitely the right word for this Beauty!! Totally Awesome!!
This may be the most American thing I’ll see all day 🦅🇺🇸
This truck only drives straight 😂
Now that's what you call a "straight truck"😂😂😂
So its just like a dodge challenger lol
6:07 isee that hand trying to fix that carpet. 😂
9:10 he's sitting in the passenger seat, looks out, realizes he's in the camera's line of fire and ducks back in...camera shy I guess.
@@ohioguy215 😂😂😂
You got that right about turning radius. 40 years ago I owned a Mercedes Benz 250 sunroof sedan with a turning radius of 24 feet . Of course it wasn’t a HOUSE 🏠
Totally Love this road warrior!! Massive power and elegance on 18 wheels! 💥 💪 💪 💥
I can't imagine getting the tractor around a right hand turn let alone pulling a trailer!!!
Without a trailer it's no different from a bus.
Exactly you're not going to be able to
Nice ride though just don't know what you're going to use it for
Not everyone is pulling a dry van for .90 a mile.
catliftresearch not everyone driving places where you don’t have to turn
Finally! A shower separated from the toilet!!!
Thanks for showing these. I love them
Good for you Mike!! It's been a minute, looks like life's treating you well brother!!
I’m more than sure he’s a highway roller with very minimum turns throughout his most likely dedicated routes. I love it. It’s perfect for a family man who wants to make his money and spend time with kids and wife. He’s most likely a 10+ year veteran who knows how to handle his piece of equipment on the road. LOVE IT.
That driveshaft is a metal utility pole ♥️🔥👌🏽
The only trucker I heard of, that works from home.
O my god that is huge :) I haul doubles for a living, And thought that was hard . I love your truck
I’d like to see it in action with a 53’ trailer on it. No way you could get that thing in a TA to get fuel, let alone park to sleep.....😂😂
I’m pretty sure the maximum combined length is 75’ and a lot of states have limits of 65’. If that’s true this thing may only be able to haul a 20’ or maybe 30’ trailer behind it.
Ryan and that in itself is kinda crazy! Ugh
I've been in & out of the trucking industry for over 32 years, and that limo-length semi with a trailer(53') is going to a huge challenge. Don't get started when it comes to doubles and triples.😆
That's not a semi. That's a motorhome.😆
Ryan negative. People with these usually haul oversized loads
😍😃 I can only imagine trying to find parking with it and a trailer after 5:00 P.M. at the Loves though. Would need a team to perpetually keep it in motion.
I'd haul wind turbine blades with it. Few extra feet who would notice?
You’d have to run team just to make the payment.
Thought it was gonna be just another truck with a big bunk but that looks like a very efficient appointed hotel room. Best interior I’ve seen.My dad drove a truck for G.M. for 39 years. One of those day cab GMC Astros hauling a an 8 axle steel trailers with 154k of steel. Beat him to death.3 back surgeries,2 neck fusions.
Holy moly that's some length. beautiful inside, I presume whoever has purchased this lives on the road 365. Nice truck 👌🏼🏴🇬🇧🇺🇲
Very nice ride, Y’all do some amazing work. Bet she looks good at night all lit up. You should add that to the videos. Enjoy the videos, keep up the good work.
Hey mike rumor has it it has got three zip code nice truck to be proud of keep on trucking
Good luck finding a parking space at a truck stop, rest area, basically anywhere!
He can just stay at the shippers yard if he can get in there!
Most shippers don't allow for overnight parking on their premises, hell some won't even allow you to take a mandatory 30min break on their property.
It’s staying only at truck shows I guess
@@jaydasupreme1 Military bases if they haul that freight or the airport, engine manufacturer, etc.
I think this truck only stop for refueling and utility cleaning like toilet tank and refill the water tank
Their work as team and doing shift
Totally PHENOMENAL!!!
Watching here in the UK that's one beast of a kenworth truck ✌👍
“Home Daily”
Wgat are you talking about he lives at home
@@skidsftw8074 ...That was the whole point.
skids ftw
That’s what I was implying by “Home Daily”
jusayen so Rightttt what is “he talking about” he ruined the entire joke😑😑🤣🤣
Yeah right. That's your home away from home.😆
I mean it's definitely cool. But seriously, that's just crazy. Very few shippers or receivers lots could accommodate something that big.
They obviously made enough $$$ to purchase and build truck🤔
Might be a southern pride truck.
You would be surprised where he goes with
What an incredible truck! WOWZERS
I'd love to know what the owner hauls with this behemoth. It's gotta be specialised freight of some sort that doesn't require tight backing, like jet engines on a step bed going to airports.
He pulls a 10 ft trailer and hauls hay otherwise he's overweight lol.
ruclips.net/video/9yCbsA3wVNY/видео.html
@@mr.potatohead5670 yea I’ve never really understood this kinda thing. Like might as well buy an rv
thats the best looking setup ive ever seen in a sleeper
That ain’t no sleeper that’s a 2 bedroom apartment on a truck
Great looking rig, fuel MPG is DEFINITELY out the window !!!!
I’m kinda thinking you may mean Gallons Per Mile. 😂
truck driver math 11.6 mpg
6 inches per gallon
Thank you for posting this video I'd like a video showing all of the equipment keeping everything operational .
Man these comments are cancer. People act like this driver is gonna lease onto swift and pull trailers to Target or something. Obviously you’re gonna be hauling specialized/higher paying freight to even consider buying a rig like this.
Shadow Mongrel drop the trailer and pull into the the pumps if it’s that tight.
They haul jet engines to airports. They know their fuel stops and they have plenty of room on each end.
@@shadowmongrel5153 very true. Ot isn't practical for your typical line haul guys. But fo what they do I would say its perfect.
BrandonPryorMusic nah most freight that these guys haul are super light. Like they would probably be around 15,000 pounds because of the large sleeper and heavy weight already
Only rookies drivers make those stupid comments.
What’s he haul ?
Sail boat fuel ?
Anthony mahon no I think it’s a tanker full of blinker fluid
Dispatcher brains
I think he hauls AIR.
Mike G that’s what sail boat fuel is
@@Anthonymahon sail boat fuel actually exists tho, it's galled gasoline
If I was a trucker this is the truck I would want!
Skip to 6:00 to start seeing the inside, then just keep tapping forward to speed through the rest
The camera guy moves as slow as this truck turns
What a masterpiece!!!!
Show de bola! lindo demais! Quase um apartamento! 👏😘💕🌹
What a beautiful rig / rv
MPG : hold my beer .
My word this is a beautiful truck! That shower is pretty nice and with the refrigerator you have plenty of room to keep food. I would imagine this would cost a very pretty penny but for a single man or man and wife/girlfriend there would not be much need of another home.
I would imagine it’s a show truck, it’s 40 feet long already!
Elegant is an interesting word to describe this truck.
The proper bathroom in this one makes it the first I've seen in which I could actually live for decent periods of time.
I’d just sell my house and live in this
The only downside about this is the maintenance required, which fu you're paying 350k for this thing, I'd assume you could also afford the maintenance costs anyway.
Yeah me too
Yeah I'd take the trailer table off and make a porch lol
I was at ARI a couple of weeks ago. Got to see this truck. Glad to see they've got it finished.
Being from ARI everyone will see the interior when it snaps in half. I can’t begin to imagine why someone would trust such a project to a builder with such poor quality.
@@iradoss3179 I've never heard of ARI having poor quality.
Ictpilot Ictpilot then you haven’t been listening. There’s a reason ARI only builds on airide. Their structure can’t withstand the torque of the frame flexing. Their gelcoat is passable but that’s about it. They can’t build a lounge body. The won’t add additional sleeper doors for access because it would compromise their structure. Having owned Eagles and multiple ICT’s and spending years with the most renowned fleets for big bunks I absolutely will not own an ARI.
@@PublicSafetyInc Been following ARI for years and talking to several owners, and you're the first to say they're poor quality. There's been some a few things owners talk about ( door hardware needing fixed etc.) But nothing major. Some of the same hardware used by the big bunk sleeper guys are the same as used in the RV industry.
Ictpilot Ictpilot I’ve worked with dozens of owners for years. The subframe is weak. They’ve improved some over the years. But torquing the sleeper frame, as any hard mount will, destroys the sleeper due to being under built. I dislike an airide big bunk. We,be switched 2 to bushing mounts. An ARI would shred itself. We’ve seen it. They broke from IVT, which broke from Double Eagle, to build cookie cutter mass produced sleepers. They did negotiate some great exclusivity agreements with Rush and others. But their engineering is under built. Take a look at the framework on one under construction. They’ve always put to much emphasis on low weight and low production cost. In the world of custom sleepers you get what you weigh for.
Nicest interior I've seen thus far!!!!
Would love to see you make that first right turn from Tuscany on to E North Village Dr.
I've got flat spots on my 168" sleeper's fuel tanks because of humps at a customer in Vegas. We've got a 330" wheel base. Can't imagine how you'll make a left handed turn on a two lane overpass bridge at night hauling a 53 foot trailer.
The ceiling fan looks like I could save myself the walk to the barber shop😅
You might be right sir as I ve trucking for going on 19 years and I have noticed that o.e.m. sleepers are getting a bit larger as the years pass I remember when 60 inches was considered a condo then they went to 70 72 77 80 and 82 then 86 inches kenworth is still on top with the studio sleeper..followed by the peterbilt 579 I think..82 inches then volvo still offers the 77inch
Beautiful Rig, I Love It.
Beautiful Ride Mike, I'm 🤔 WOW!
A beautiful work of art. For all that size I'm surprised by the weight.
its bending in half without a trailer
Jack Winand it’s cause of it’s length and weight there isn’t much underneath to compensate
Dale Bob its*
@Ssaurabi Redneck Maybe there is a reason for that.
@한국 카우보이SsaurabiRedneck That amount of titanium would be a lot more than a few thousand dollars over steel buddy.
wonderfully awesome
Nice, W900 and different color excellence...
WoW,there’s no place like home ❤️
Even while you're on the road.
Just finished that right turn he started making last month.
Beautiful truck 😍
Beautiful Truck !
🤦🏿♂️ Wanna be trucker ! That's not a Semi Truck that's a Tour Bus with a 5th wheel.
More like a rv plus if I was a trucker wouldn't get a truck that long just for doing deliveries
@G0LIATH sir they still have to turn
@G0LIATH Even though you're right, you don't have to be such an ass-hole when addressing someone.
G0LIATH he’s with atlas van lines. He does warehouse to warehouse this truck is 5 ft longer than his last truck
Snarky . Live no he does household for budd moving he doesn’t do government freight. And this truck is 5 ft longer than his last truck
Damn these comments are something else I just keep scrolling down
Very very nice..love it...
Although some peeps hate, nor don't care about the w990. But I most thought it's an alright truck. But this... This is some much of Badassery!!
That thing is amazing; I used to have an apartment that was smaller.
How does that work to usable vehicle length/payload when you're working with it? With that wheelbase I'm guessing overall the truck is nearly 50-feet long. Here in the UK the entire tractor-trailer combination is limited to 44 tonnes (97,000 lbs) and 18 metres (about 60 feet), I'm guessing your limits are a bit longer and heavier! 😃
there is no length limitation for trucks they can be as long as they want What is regulated is your trailer length which is limited to 53 feet but can differ depending what state your in like lets say you live in Utah your trailer length limit is 120 feet and your whole vehicle weight limit (truck and trailer) is 136,000 lbs so this truck will struggle to do heavy haul because of its weight but can easily pull light trailers like Dry Vans and certain Tankers.
If I had this in my homeland of 🇰🇪, I'd be locked up for destroying the legacy road network 🤣
ruclips.net/video/9yCbsA3wVNY/видео.html
I like the homemade fenders he built out of 2x6’s and 2x4’s 😂😂
Haha yeah I'm loving these comments.
We'll probably see some WTI full fenders or double hump fenders on this rig in the future. Because it's a new tractor I don't think anything old skool fender-wise would look right.
Maybe he just couldn't afford fenders after all the extras he ordered
it's my dream to have one like that
Niiiiice... what a rig.... king of the road... the others are drooling...
when you want to be a truck driver, but don't want to leave home!
Is he hauling packing peanuts? That truck is half your gvwr...
Lol. Maby its designed to just transport a single empty chassis trailer
The freight goes in the sleeper its a giant straight truck
Beautiful rig good luck enjoys making your money at your Leasure safe travels
Beautiful !
My understanding is when you actually elongate that frame as much as you have to to accommodate this extra long condo unit you're hauling efficiency is significantly affected
Meu sonho de consumo 😍
Very nice truck love to drive it
parking lot princess. so cool, so ridiculous. thank you for the content.
man, i posted this before i watched the entire video..wtf can you earn with this? haha. " yes, i haul celebrities egos with my truck"
When I hit the lottery, this is what I’m going to buy
Yeah me too. And I'd say "let's go one inch longer and add a second, higher roof about 1/3 of the way back." Lol
I want one for Christmas
Same here
Why?So you can pay storage to park it in warehouse
Cool, so you can haul an empty 28 foot trailer!
lotsa overhead, little return!
