Hi the reason day cabs have sleepers is years ago trampers went up the road in day cabs sleeping across the seats that all stopped when the government said cabs must have bunks ,and you usually find sleeper cabs are cheaper than day cabs I drive a 26 tonner have 1 night out a week my cab works out cheaper than our 18 tonne day cabs that’s why hauliers use sleeper cabs cheers John,this Volvo was the day cab I drove when I started this is my 26 tonner I drive now

John,
I think your Volvo ended its days at Oldbury depot,

hi pete my volvo got sold i told them the clutch was slipping they told me to drive it i blew the gear box to pieces they towed it to oldbury put a second hand box in then sent it to a auction in Sheffield a farmer bought it the twin to it was the oldbury truck cheers John

Hi John,
I thought it was a close number to the one at Oldbury as my mate started on it and then had the 1st 6 legger Merc with the pumping gear at Oldbury, Cheer’s Pete
