Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see as a glance of wealth, a great career, and purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who is reading this will be successful in life.
I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money. I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend real estate, or cypto and stocks
As a btcoin trder it's most inevitable that you're going to experience some set ups and downs along the way, alertness and decisiveness are both fundamental ingredients....
I'm favoured financially, $36,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
How..? Am a newbie in cypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
Thanks to Talia Ellwood.
This has more space than a New York City apartment
At 1/4th the price and it makes you money
@@timothyaldridge1236 a fu** ton of money
Or English house.
My keyboard has more space than an NYC apartment.
The engine bay is probably the size of your average 1600/month no utilities Manhattan room (i say room because if you have no bathroom other than one shared by the whole building its not an apartment)
This is what happens when you become a truck driver, you’re wife wants to go with you, you both like RVs, you both like to travel, and you’ve got the money to do this kind of thing. Huge props to them for doing what they enjoy! I hope the ride is smooth as butter!
For what it costs it damn right better be a smooth ride!
Nice...nice
@@stevedirdochegal6568 how much?
Well, if you're not raising kids and they're grown and gone of course my wife is coming with me that goes without saying.
Thank you sir, we do love what we do and we enjoy our life when at work, we do like going home as well
I worked at a Kenworth dealership/repair shop years ago. We occasionally had some extended sleepers come through. The longest one had three rear axles and a tag axle that was under the sleeper. It had slide outs, full-size washer/dryer, shower, bathroom, kitchen (with stove, fridge, freezer), and a master bedroom.
The back deck plate was a patio with a grill and smoker. The couple said they spent close to $2 million for the custom tractor and matching trailer. They hauled exotic cars and could fit up to 9 in the trailer. 4 down and 4 up using the lift, plus their personal subcompact that was loaded at the back of the trailer.
Damn!!👍✌️
Such a great imagination to make money. Hauling custom cars or in there case anything. Oh to be young again and have a young mind full of vim and vigor .
I work at the Peterbilt in Denton in the "sleepers" department, and I can't imagine how much detail went into making this.
Beautiful rig!!!
how hard is it to get into a dealership? I was just around there a few weeks ago lol
@@blackoutkr8183 From what I know we don't make the trucks until they are paid for. Each one is custom built to the customers liking and they drive them out the warehouse once finished. But there isn't a dealership of finished trucks for sale.
This is a work of art ! Ferrari or Bugatti of peter-built
@@tonym8765 probably cost more
Instead of “sleeper cab” how about “apartment cab”
Cando cab...lol
@@kbkb7938 dont you mean condo
@@henryscharff496 maybe its with an australian accent
You said that right. It actually looks better than my condo!
@Citex22 yeah right 😂
As an old owner operator that has a Mack with a "sleeper" so small that my feet had to stick out of the open fire ext door I am in awe! Great job, use it in safety and good health.
Also very grateful someone sliced off those feet as they stuck out of the open fire exit door.
So u tellin me a random person could come and slap ur feet while u sleepin💀
I occasionally see extended tractors of this sort on the road, for some reason nearly always pulling trailers for moving companies (Mayflower is one I definitely remember), and it amazes me how the drivers can maneuver these monsters.
It's damn shocking to consider that this truck had to set the Smiths back well beyond a half a million when brand new.
From what I’ve read, the reason that they’re usually moving company trucks is that these trucks are limited as to their total weight as well as the trailer size, so the only time you have the spare weight to put into a giant cab like this is when your cargo isn’t very dense (as is the case with moving personal possessions or parcels).
@@casey6556 That would explain a lot.
Thanks for the insight.
@@casey6556 makes sense. Yeah I remember always seeing them on mayflower and united van lines trucks when I was a kid
@@casey6556 moving companies are not limited on weight all 5 axle tractor trailers can go to 80,000 pounds moving companies household goods usually cube out before grossing out on weight, the moving company's special products side will also cube it out before they get to max weight, these bunks are for convenience when waiting on loading and unloading times
@@kw900lkevin I think you missed his point while stating it at the same time. You’re in agreement that a moving companies load could be less dense therefore working within this vehicles GVWR. Its not the moving company that’s limited, that was never stated by anyone. The limits were in reference to the tow rig due to its massive size relative to a more standard rig
Please understand the freight they are carrying before you leave ignorant comments. They haul jet engines basically airport to airport they will never be backing into tight spots. This truck is perfect for what they are using it for. If you listened to them they said they are out for 8 to 9 months then take the winter off. This type of hauling is not for everyone but perfect for the ones that like it. This is a perfect job for husband & wife teams.
J W oh my goodness, please tell them again!!! They must have watched this with the volume off!
thanks. is there a video with that or similar truck in action?
inftube subscribe and check out the channel for yourself it’s a host of big rig videos to watch.
Ahh great points!
But still. Your telling me that they don't ever need to turn@ a small intersection? I would love to see this with a trailer on it threw a drive course.
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo.

I want to thank you for sharing your home with us. Letting the younger generation to see how they can have a career in the hauling business.
No they will professional snapchatters lmao
It ain't a future in this bro, self driving it's gonna come it's just when
@@narutouchiha4236 there's always going to have to have someone in the driver seat no matter what. I hear you they might have a self driven big rig driving across country but not anytime soon.
@@narutouchiha4236 they have self flying planes. Guess who’s still in the cockpit. Pilots. I’d love to see a automated truck try and back into some of these tight docks.
@@travisbryan663 It'll do a far better job than a human.
My question is how practical. With the extra length, loads to any city would be almost impossible to make turns wouldn't it.
I can think of thousands of places it cannot go. Includes truck stops
We do go to city’s , how else would we get to industrial areas to get our freight, you just need to know how to drive, it’s that simple
This is beautiful. As a truck driver, I love seeing my fellow truckers do it big like this.
Nah... this is ugly and stupid
It's a Truck you don't use for work almost. Just cruising.
The Truck for the guy that never wants to go home to his wife and kids. The only thing that needs is a lawn and water feature. 🤣
I agree 💯
Driving green with fountains on top of the truck 👌
No joke, that a house all by itself.
They are provided for that’s all that matter quality time is over rated
You can drive with your wife together but then you can only have one child because the space should be enough for only three.
Rig will require a Mullet Class registration - business in the front, party at the back.
😂
turning radius? never heard of it
Just imagine the truck breaking down and you can just go back to sleep and worry about it next week lol
Just imagine cummins breaking down 🤣
The best looking rig I've ever seen. I'd love to see this house on wheels rolling down the interstate at night, it's got to be a rolling Christmas tree all lit up. Bravo to the Smith's.
Thank you
Pull a stocked refrigerated trailer, and you have a restaurant on wheels. Home cooked meals on the road.
Saw one like this years ago, they called it "Size Matters".
Looks like shit.. Americans have 0 sense of taste.
The interior is from the 80's
I am not a Trucker but these kind of Trucks are sooo awesome , Congrats on a rig like this .
@hello Marc how are you doing?
So it's like driving a school bus hauling a school bus?
Omg the only thing its missing is a two in one washer/ dryer! It's a condo! Such a cool rig. Congrats to the Smith's!
Yep. Just as nice as that high end 5th wheel camper in the video. Looks like a DRV Mobile Suites, could be a LUXE as well. But the ultimate is Spacecraft RVs, and New Horizons.
Way too many coincidences with me guys. I grew up in san jose ca and now live in az and am a trucker. Stay safe gorgeous rig
Hi pls I was to learn how to drive a truck
@@MzMata plenty of schools will teach you there are always companies looking for drivers
I grew up in SJ where did you live
@Hello Darren how are you doing
He doesn't just have a "sleeper" in the back. Dude has a full on RV in the back 😂
that truck looks almost as long as some european with their trailers... and thats just nuts
The truck itself is the same length as a London Bus
the sleeper in this looks like a cross between a grandmas house and a 90's strip club! wowser
Yeah its ok but I feel like it's not modern enough in my opinion.
Gotta be prepared for the lot lizards
@@pontiacgt60 LOL what do you expect? It’s a truck and in my opinion it’s probably way better than anything u could do so why don’t u and try to model trucks like that and let’s see how it turns out
Spoiled

@@angelogandolfo6374 Jealous.
and this is an uneducated response to a successful group of elite trucking individuals
@@angelogandolfo6374 why would you say this without having a clue to the use of the kind of equipment!

Dream truck , regular sleepers are obsolete
Thank you for this video... great interview. I've reading many of the comments and replies below, 85% of it is ignorant BS. I'm a retired owner operator with 51 yrs of trucking behind me.... so I do know a little about trucking. This couple is leased to Southern Pride, which is primarily a Very Specialized carrier in the transporting of Military and commercial jet aircraft engines... which generally only weigh between 3,000 to 8,000 lbs (depending on type and application) and they rarely haul more than One engine per trip... though, occasionally will have Two or Three depending on engine size, so weight is NOT a big concern as far as the truck is concerned.
Also, they generally haul engines that are scheduled for overhaul on the eastbound run... usually to either General Electric's Jet Engine division or to Pratt & Whitney, and return westbound with a "fresh" engine(s) and the time factor from point "A" to point "B" in either direction is Very "tight" and there is NO time for sitting around truck stops or anywhere else en-route... which is why ALL of Southern Prides Owner/Operators have "Large Cars", Not "just" the Smiths here in this video... though some are Not as long in the wheelbase as this one.
Southern Pride also does GSE moves (Ground Support Equipment) which also includes Over-dimensional as well as aircraft parts, not only in the contiguous lower 48, but also internationally.... I think that in the now 40+ years in business.... they probably have things figured out a bit better than some of the "expert" nay sayers on here.
Southern Pride Only accepts the Very Best of the Best for Owner/Operators with Years of proven experience behind them and with impeccable credentials, both as previous long term Owner/Operators and in personal character.... which would exclude At Least 85% of the "wanna be" (re: Phony) truck drivers I see climbing out of trucks these days, with nose rings, spandex, tattoo's from head to toe, pajamas, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum... and no real integrity to speak of.
Over 90% of Southern Prides Owner/Operator teams are Husband & Wife (as in Male & Female), and most of them have been married for Many years with no prior marriages..... they are "Solid" people. The Owner/Operators who have what it takes to "make the grade" and are excepted to run for Southern Pride... make a Very Nice living, close to $300,000 per year... Minimum.
As Chris Smith stated... they spend most of the year, on the road... straight out with very time sensitive, High Value loads, the rigs that SP's O/O's have... are built for what they do (though there are some that have bought "2nd hand", but are very suitable for the running and loading conditions with SP, so all this garbage I'm reading on here about "they're too heavy" - "too long" - "can't back up a trailer" - "very impractical", etc, etc, etc, ad-nauseam.... is pure BS, written by a bunch of faceless "keyboard cowboy experts" who are completely ignorant of the subject at hand.
2Stroke Diesel Power thank you for this comment!
Great comment that explains well what it's all about.
@End this police corruption..... I do Not recall discussing the overall length, not their trailer length - individually. If you're looking for an argument, or trying to just be insinuative... I'm not playing that game with you, nor anyone else.... nor do I need to give a detailed report to you on my years of experience.... which is now approaching 51 years, over 30 years as an O/O... and just so you know... my longest load was 287' 9" long... a refinery vessel hauled to the refinery way up in Yellow Knife, NWT. You don't need 53 nor 48' trailers to haul jet engines... SP is legal in All 48 states.
PS: I will say one thing.... I agree with your "handle" here on YT.
2Stroke Diesel Power very well said Sir. Love it
End this police corruption You are an ignorant moron that knows dick about length because I go into every state without permits. If you want to talk about romper room then you will know more then
Beautifully crafted Peterbilt! Love the bright yellow. Very well thought through living space. Well done Peterbilt and custom builders to put this truck together 👍👏
Thank you for letting us see your rig. If I saw you driving down the road I’d probably go off the road trying to catch a glimpse before you drove past. Absolutely beautiful. Was dying to see in the living quarters. Keep it between the lines and stay safe. John from cape cod.
I’ve seen a few super sleepers on the freeway and I concur, the rubbernecking is real.
Have you guys been to Orlando Florida delivering to Lockheed in the past 3 yrs? I believe I've seen this vehicle.
A beautiful masterpiece that took a year to build, and swift can destroy in seconds.

Most truck stops, you'd have trouble parking
I'm thinking the same thing! Some of the places I've been it would have been impossible.
BEAUTIFUL RIG!!! HOW DO YOU TURN WITH A TRAILER BEHIND IT!?!? I'M A TRUCK DRIVER AND I'M PUZZLED?!?!😵
ur obviously not a truck driver dude if you cant figure that out
@@StarzForHer 😂😂😂😂
As long as your run is a straight line between abandoned airports.
Agree. Almost pointless.
And I believe this truck has its own zip code.
and hauling a trailer full of pillows.
Just goes to show how STUPID you guys are. It is used to haul oversized loads. See the flashing lights on top, they are there so you can see him coming down the road.
Needs more lights
@@almilhouse9059 you need to put the phone in your glovebox and watch the road and then other vehicles.
This is the difference between trucks who have to work and trucker who want to work.
These folks probably do it for the love not the check.
Like the rig,just not the paint job
Gcal1956 Yes . Bit they have to make a butt load of money to pay for this showboat . I drove for 30 years , and it is for the love of the paycheck .
@@adorabledeplorable5105 Yes and no, as they can live in this and not need a house
All you people are just so stupid with your expert comments,your assuming things,but you just make an ass of yourself,not me.
If you listened to the whole vid, you would know all they haul are aircraft engines,
Feels like there should be another set of wheels underneath the living cabin
At 7:40 When they showed the tv going up I thought it was stairs to an attic. 😂😂😂
Me, too!
Funny. I thought the same or a top side party place.
i thought that was where the bed is lol
I swear I did also
Haters gonna hate. All of these negative comments are amazing. There are lot of big bunk trucks on the road. Most of these trucks don't bump docks. They don't worry about 90-degree backs into a tiny alley off some trashy street in downtown LA. These owners haul $$$ freight and can afford these incredible rigs. As with anything in life, people that can't, complain and put down other people's accomplishments. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Smith on your beautiful rig and safe travels. I hope to own one in the near future. God bless.
This is the best comment by far!
True shit that.
All the shit talkers are probably driving some off lot base model and are jealous of someone who has such an amazing truck.
Most people can't even Afford one. It's a dam good Looking truck.
I dont hate ,,just dont see it for me,is all,.still a need truckers we all do,,,,,TEACH and tell me more about 300,000$trucks! Now,race a truck,, WOW WEE!.
With a trailer how does this sucker even go down the road? The turns must be huge.
@Wolf Den makes for a safer ride in regards to no stopping.
@Wolf Den I don't understand man? What does that mean, "Don't be a girlfriend?" It made me laugh though, so thanks.
It's basically like driving a school bus trust me
Doesn’t it limit the length of trailers he can carry?
@@Corsocon yes
Driving something that long plus a trailer would a nightmare
There is nothing Like taking the house with you on Your Travels ! LOL
until you need repairs, then you cant live in it while its in the shop. You be homeless when its in the shop for maintenance.
I think it looks impractical but the fact that it exists at all means that someone knows this won't effect their bottom line so good on them for being able to do a very difficult job in more comfort than most.
So you think people never make mistakes?
Coolest Couple.....Humble folks !
Should make another video of them on the everyday life on the road.
Cheers from Compton CA.
mrhookups that would be cool to profile!
It's crazy when you see the the interior and realise it's in a truck

Great video. Specialty hauling is the way to go. Every time I see the Reliable trucks hauling collector cars I think how cool it would be to have a job like that.
Michael Prosperity..... You Can, have a "job like that".... here's what it takes.... If you have a minimum of three years over the road commercial driving experience, and meet the criteria listed below.....
Previous auto transport, HHG, HVP, car carrier driving jobs or similar specialized experience
Dedicated to customer satisfaction and good company relations
Compliance with FMCSR, company safety policy and tax regulations
Clean motor vehicle record
Have verifiable experience in driver safety and cargo securement
Qualified drivers candidates are rewarded with strong revenue, and full administrative support for your operation.
Individual and team car carrier drivers with specialized auto hauling driving experience are encouraged to apply.
You can tell from the wording, that you would not be just a driver... re: pay close attention to the 3rd line down in the "criteria" list and the last three words in that sentence. Good luck.... here's their website - reliablecarriers dot com. They have 5 or 6 different divisions including the enclosed vehicle transport division.
Yes what he said, I am looking for people that have these qualifications. Very good job!
That is 1 Beautiful truck! Congratulations to the new owner 👍🏼🤙🏼
Me: What's the fuel consumption on that?
The owner: Yes
Nearest gas station: 🏦

What’s wrong with parcar?
Love that shower toilet combo. It is the ultimate “water closet”😉
It's sure better than a pee can and wet wipes.
I've never used one. Not sure I like the idea. Suppose you take a shower, how long do you have to wait for the thing to dry ? I don't enjoy the idea of having to pee in a completely drenched loo.
I just have one question. How do you deliver any loads on that thing?
Watch out megatron, here comes optimus prime big brother.

Nice Truck if your driving down the interstate. Totally impractical for everyday operation
That thing don't work for a living! Look at that 5th wheel it's never had a king pin it! Where are the trailer airlines and 7way cable ???
This is a working Truck but it’s brand new plus it’s a greaseless 5th wheel so you don’t have all that mess everywhere. The air connections are on the back as I don’t use a pogo stick. I think you need to learn a little more about trucks.
duane mullins see my reply. You obviously don’t know much about trucks
They haul aircraft engines airport to airport. Specialized flatbedders are about the only people who can get away with a truck like that because they always run light and never have to hit a dock.

Living in it would be a dream, but driving it would be a nightmare. I can't imagine making turns in that thing.
It's huge. As a kid I wanted to drive this. As an adult I hate driving.
Surfmus I don’t get why ppl hate driving. It’s better than any other way to get around. just seems like ppl who hate to drive are the ppl who are arrogant. It’s some thing that has to be done. Quit bitching about it and repurpose that time. Think/meditate, talk, listen to that book you want to read. Everything you do doesn’t have to be a complaint... seriously. Deal with it.
Surfmus I HATE DRIVING TOO. I've always disliked having to drive. I am with you COMPLETELY. I do it though , I have been doing it for over 30 years . It's just something you have to do to get from one place to another , for work , etc.
There is nothing to say you have to like it though. What's to like about it.
I never "bitch" about it though , and , like you I am definitely NOT arrogant . (I think the moron / troll has got that the wrong way . It would be arrogant if you were constantly saying how much you like driving) I reckon the moron should "repurpose his time" LOL and meditate , listen , read a book and learn to understand some people like some things , some don't like some things.
Nothing quite like real dumbass ignorance .
I wanted to drive as a kid and I got my wish, I've been trucking for 37 years this Nov. It's the trucking industry I come to dislike, a lot.

that truck is NICE! congrats to the owners. I love all the lights on it.
I would live in this beauty 😍. Family wouldn’t see me for months😁.
Amazing design. Beautiful work for the rig. Intelligent setup with minimal space. And the people are just awesome. I know they they are running jet engines, but the thing that scares me would be the weight and fuel consumption. Still, it really is a gorgeous rig.
Proof positive someone clearly has more money than brains.....
Why would you say that? It's probably more of a lifestyle for these folks. I wouldn't spend money on something this crazy, but I'm glad these folks were able to if it's what they enjoy.
When your living in it 8 months out of the year delivering jet engines to manufacturing plants airport and military bases. So their not worried about much urban driving and ya got the extra money to do so, why not
@Keith Cooke ... do you wear a nice 3 piece suit to work? The truck suits the loads they haul and amount of time on the road.
You don't need to come home with a truck like that,, beautiful!!!
He has lil weiner
I dont believe anyone will have a home if thy own this truck. Maybe a PO box they visit every week if they dont use the service that emails all their mail to them.
Realistically needs triple axle drives to keep tandem weights under 34,000. Its nice on the inside, but not at all practical.
Need this instead of an rv when i retire 😂
And a king size cow catcher
This is America right? Since when are we limited to what's practical? Million dollar sports cars are OK but he shows up in this truck and "oh, it's impractical!" FOH.
tony b What do million dollar sports cars have to do with tandem weights and the trucking industry? lol.
I’ll say it again. These things are NOT practical for HAULING things! And you sure as heck can’t back a trailer with it either. It’d make a nice RV tho.
Savanna S. What do million dollar sports cars have to do with the trucking industry? Lol you're still not getting it. About as much as million dollar sports cars have to do with private jets. Or mansions. Some people want to spend their disposable income on cars. Some jets. Some houses. Some this. Some other stuff. Why are you hating on him if this is what he wants to do for fun? Because it's a truck it has to be useful? I know people who say that about cars. I know people who say at a certain point it's just too much house. Those aren't American attitudes. If he has the money, let him ball out however he sees fit.
So 192" = 16 feet, that's got to be nearly 10ft longer than a standard sleeper - is that still legal towing a 40ft trailer?
Still, with that level of accomodation I can see these being de rigeur in the UK with truckers routinely having to wait 3 days at Dover :-)
Yes this is totally legal and no way would I drive this in England or Europe, I’m English and I did drive over there, I worked for Astran and Falcongate but yes I would have loved this when I was stuck at Dover or Calais
I wish the Smiths a lot of safe miles and also a lot
of jet engines to haul !!
I believe this is the most comfortable truck on the world!!
Its a damn nice truck!!
You need a football field to turn around..
Cool build, would love to see this Rig in action...🙂🙂🙂
Wow that’s simply stunning. Our English trucks have nothing on these. I remember the daf 500 that had a Cummins engine in it with twin eminox stack pipes. Sounded awesome. Amazing piece of engineering.
You don't have roads in the UK or Europe that can handle the turning circle of this tractor alone plus the legal requirements so these monsters will never been seen over the pond.
We don't have monsters like this in Europe because they're ridiculously stupid.
Sorta cool but stupid.
One wrong turn into a dead end and you’ll have to have it lifted out by helicopter 😂
I guess if you love the road that's for you. I'm still trying to figure out less time in the truck. But another 13 or 14 years and I'm done, can't wait
Bb Cala.... I think you can relax.... my guess is, that you won't have to wait that long.
When I started out it was in a Rmodel mack, no power steering no air conditioning no stereo and barely had heat and drove oversized loads of precast concrete, some loads were 16 foot wide. Sometimes hard to handle in such trucks like that. But we always got our product to the job safe. It's just sad to think what trucking use to be and what it is today. I work for a company that's probably the biggest in the world if not the biggest. I have watched the industry change so much throughout the years and the people being hired today do not care anything, no pretrip no post trip, just making money. These people on the road today n there electronic devices, every night looking out for people swerving into my lane and truck driver watching videos going down the road. It just insanity. It bothers me that there isn't much professionalism in the trade anymore. I stopped training drivers because some want to learn but most don't. But it nice when a guy with 25 years experience says that they learned something new training with me. It's just you got through your career always in a professional manner, always. I tell alot of these new drivers that there is no more professionalism in the trucking business or very few show it. I say, if your not going to do it in a professional manner then don't do it. Sorry you the wrong impression of me. You know when you spend your whole life in a truck you either do it right or you become a shortcut driver. That's the reason why I stopped training drivers. To many shortcut driver's today
I think the sleeper is too large to qualify as a tiny house.
I'll be impressed when there's a 53' trailer behind it and the driver's able to back into a parking spot at the truck stop at 9 pm
good post man' i was thinking along those lines too'
I’m sure they don’t stay at truckstops
They don't haul cheap freight and have no need for truckstops.
Its needs a tweety bird on it, "i that i saw a puddy cat." Nice
Show de bola o vídeo!!Pena q aqui no Brasil não seria possível cavalos desses trafegar em avenidas estreitas como temos
