What to Look for When Buying a Day Cab in Nebraska
- Wheelbase — shorter wheelbase improves maneuverability in tight docks and ports
- Axle configuration — 6x4 for heavy loads; 6x2 saves weight and fuel on lighter routes
- Rear axle ratio — lower ratio (2.64–3.08) = better fuel economy on highways; higher (3.36–3.90) = more pulling power
- Fifth-wheel position — sliding fifth wheel allows axle weight compliance for different trailer types
- Engine spec — many regional day-cab fleets run 400–455 HP to control fuel costs
- Transmission — Eaton Endurant and Allison automatics are popular for frequent starts and stops

Day Cab Truck FAQ
What is the main advantage of a day cab over a sleeper truck?
Day cabs are approximately 2,000 lbs lighter than comparable sleepers, which means more legal payload on weight-sensitive loads. They are also shorter, with a tighter turning radius that makes navigating ports, city streets, and crowded distribution centers easier.
Can a day cab pull the same trailers as a sleeper?
Yes — a day cab and sleeper with the same powertrain and fifth-wheel rating can pull identical trailers. The only difference is the absence of a sleeping compartment, which affects driver accommodation, not towing capability.
What is a 6x2 axle configuration and when is it used?
A 6x2 configuration has one powered rear drive axle and one unpowered "tag" axle, versus a 6x4 where both rear axles drive. A 6x2 is about 200 lbs lighter and more fuel-efficient on flat highway routes, but less capable in poor traction conditions or steep grades. It is most popular for dedicated regional routes.
