Day Cab Trucks For Sale in Canada

About Day Cab Trucks

Day cabs are over-the-road, short-haul trucks with a cabin that lacks space behind the seats for the bed(s) you’d find in a long-haul sleeper truck. They’re built for local and regional freight hauling and deliveries to destinations within a day's round-trip travel instead of overnight. Although cab and chassis trucks, flatbeds, dump trucks, and the like typically don’t have sleeper cabs either, day cabs are generally classified as semitrucks made to pull fifth-wheel semitrailers.

Freightliner Cascadia 126 Day Cab Trucks

The trucks may have cabover designs, popular in Europe and other parts of the world, or the conventional, long-hooded cabs preferred in the U.S. While recognizing that the use case for a semitractor will determine the decision to buy a day cab over a sleeper, it’s worth noting that day cabs are generally lighter in weight, less expensive, and more maneuverable in city traffic.

Day Trippers

Day cab trucks are mostly heavy-duty Class 7 and 8 tractors with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) upwards of 11,800 kilograms (26,000 pounds. However, a few single-axle, short-wheelbase models fall into the medium-duty Class 6 (8,845- to 11,790-kg; 19,501- to 26,000-lb) range, such as the Freightliner M2 106 Plus. Day cabs come in 4x2 configurations as well as 6x2 and 6x4 tandem models. They’re available with manual and automatic transmissions, automated manual gearboxes, and semiautomatic transmissions.
