    The Costs and Benefits of Large Sleepers

    If it was all about making money then everybody would be driving a truck with a 30' box and a 36" sleeper. Why is it that the Sprinter's ability to haul 3 skids is always bragged about, but the fact that it can haul less weight than a 1 ton is rarely mentioned? I can haul 3 4-ways turned...
