Tandem axle day cabs are built with an additional axle and set of tires, located behind (tandem to) the front set of wheels. The extra axle and set of tires on the road provide for better shock absorption than single axle models, and they also allow tandem axles to carry much heavier loads. The only downside of tandem axle day cabs is that they have lower fuel efficiency and maneuverability than single axle trucks. Day cab tractors do not have a sleeping compartment attached to the cab. If your business in Columbia needs a tandem axle day cab rental for your needs, download the COOP app today to find one just for you!
Day Cab Tractor
Because day cab tractors do not have a sleeping compartment attached to the cab, they are typically preferred for a day-long hauling of cargo. The additional axle and tires built into the chassis of a tandem axle tractor allow it to carry heavier loads, which makes them a great option for construction companies who need to move equipment to their project sites. Whether you are looking for a single day tractor rental for a landscaping job or a weeklong rental for a construction or remodeling project, COOP can help you find the right tandem axle day cab tractor for your business in Columbia.
Sleeper Cab Tractor
Sleeper cab tandem axle tractors have the benefit of the tandem axle to carry heavier loads and give a smoother ride, with the added benefit of a sleeping compartment for the driver to rest. The sleeper cab gives the driver the ability to be more efficient with time by pulling over to sleep when they need. These also give the business cost savings since the driver does not have to rent a room for every night of a multiple-day trip.
Diesel Engine
Diesel engines have long been known to be tough, powerful, and dependable. What most people don’t understand is that diesel engines are also far more fuel-efficient than gasoline, as diesel fuel contains more energy in every drop than gasoline does. Because diesel fuel is also cheaper than gasoline, these engines provide a great cost advantage for their drivers.
Electric Engine
Trucking brands are starting to come out with electric engines, as increasing fuel costs have been driving the cost of transportation up for a long time and cutting into the industry’s profits. With one already available from Peterbilt, the trucking industry can expect to see many more appear in the near future. A mistake made by many when thinking about electric engines is that they are not as powerful as diesel or gasoline, while they actually provide more torque than their combustion counterparts.
Freightliner
Because of the innovation and manufacturing excellence the company has created since they began manufacturing tractors, Freightliner tandem axle day cabs are seen as favorites by many in the trucking industry. Freightliner tandem axle day cabs provide maximum engine power as well as higher fuel economy than other tractor engines.

Peterbilt
Peterbilt trucks are extremely fuel-efficient and provide exceptional comfort for the driver, making them extremely popular in the industry. Their customer base is also fiercely loyal, which can be seen when anyone reads through public forum trucker blogs to find truckers bragging about their favorite Peterbilt tandem axle day cab. Peterbilt also has more tractors with alternative fuel options among American manufacturers, which is important to those focused on the cost of fuel. Certain models of Peterbilt tandem axle day cabs such as the 579EV even come in an electric version, making those costs a thing of the past.
Kenworth
Kenworth was the top trailer manufacturer in the United States in 2021, putting their tandem axle day cabs on highways all over the nation. With a long history of hard work and technological innovation, Kenworth provides tractors that are guaranteed by the company to be efficient, reliable, safe, and offer enhanced productivity than other brands.

The Volvo reputation has led them to be the second most popular tractor manufacturer in the world, with Volvo tandem axle day cabs being able to sell higher than similar competitors as a result of that reputation. Having been in the business of manufacturing vehicles since 1928, it seems Volvo has learned a lot over nearly a century in the business. Comfort, reliability, cargo needs, and fuel efficiency have always been top priorities for Volvo, making it easy to see why they are the second most sold tractors around the world.
Mack
When most people think of Mack trucks, they think of the brand’s durability and toughness, but many don’t know that technological innovations have a lot to do with the brand’s position as a leader in the trucking industry. Mack tandem axle day cabs are also highly customizable, so using the COOP app to find your tandem axle day cab rental in Columbia may give you a wide variety of options, depending on seasonal availability.
Heavy-Duty Hauling
Built to carry heavy loads back and forth across the nation, tandem axle day cabs are your company’s solution for heavy-duty hauling. Tandem axle tractors are able to carry heavier loads than their single axle counterparts, and the extra set of wheels on the road also provides a smoother ride. They are a little less maneuverable and have lower fuel efficiency, but when you need to haul a heavy-duty load there is no substitute for a tandem axle day cab rented through the COOP platforms.
Long Distance Hauling
Tandem axle tractors provide better shock absorption and a smoother ride than single axles, which over the long run can help reduce a lot of wear and tear on both the driver and the cargo. If you have to haul a heavy load for a long distance, tandem axle day cabs are a great choice to give you a smoother ride as well as extra weight capacity for your load.
