Available Single-Axle Day Cab Tractor Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Single-Axle Day Cab Tractors listed for rent in Columbia, MD include:

Single Axle Day Cab Tractor

Single axle day cab tractors weigh less than sleeper cab or tandem axle tractors, which makes them more fuel-efficient, especially on long haul trips. Because they do not have a sleeper compartment, these tractors are typically preferred for short to medium-haul trips. If you have a heavy load that needs to be delivered into a congested, urban environment, single axle day cabs also work well there. Whatever you need a single axle day cab rental for, COOP can help you find the right single axle day cab tractor for your business in Columbia.

Single Axle Sleeper Cab Tractor

A single axle sleeper cab tractor will weigh slightly more than a day cab, but provide enormous benefit for long haul trips in that the attached sleeping compartment provides a place for the driver to rest when needed. This saves both time and money by using the compartment to sleep rather than renting multiple hotel rooms on cross-country trips.

Diesel Engine

Known for being tough and dependable, diesel engines have long been preferred by the industries that require hard work out of their equipment and vehicles, like the long haul trucking or construction. Diesel fuel also contains more energy per drop burned than gasoline, meaning that diesel engines were fuel-efficient long before fuel efficiency was an important selling point. While a fuel-efficient Prius may not be able to haul a heavy load, many diesel engines, especially those in tractors, are built for it.

Electric Engine

As the cost of fuel has continued to rise over the years, more and more companies and consumers alike have begun to see the benefits of electric engines. Not only do they reduce fuel costs by getting rid of the combustion engine, but electric engines also produce more torque than gasoline or even diesel engines.

Peterbilt also sports the highest number of alternative fuel-driven tractors, giving their customers more options to save money on fuel.

Kenworth

The industry-leading innovations from Kenworth over the decades have led to the manufacturing of efficient, reliable, safe, and productive tractors, all of which are guaranteed by the company to meet those standards. Kenworth tractors have the lightest axles in the single axle day cab market, providing fuel savings for their drivers. Kenworth single axle day cabs also provide comfortable, spacious cabs for the driver and an advanced navigation system, so it is not hard to see why Kenworth is such a popular choice.

Volvo

Volvo single axle day cabs are known for their quality, comfort, and engineering excellence.
