GATR Truck Center Big Bunk Sleeper Inventory - New and Used!
GATR Truck Center is proud to partner with ARI Legacy Sleepers as the only Volvo® big bunk partner in the nation. With this exclusive partnership, we have sold more Volvo® big bunk sleeper trucks than any other dealership.
Our experience with Volvo® big bunks dates back to 2004, when we sold our very first unit. Since then, we have delivered over 400 big bunk sleeper trucks, establishing GATR Truck Center as an industry leader in custom sleeper solutions.
We specialize in big bunks because we understand that for drivers spending extended time on the road, the sleeper is more than a cab—it is a home away from home. Our big bunk trucks are designed with comfort and functionality in mind, offering dedicated space for food preparation, relaxation, and quality rest.
Big bunk semi-trucks are often operated by team drivers, and our layouts provide a comfortable, self-contained living space that allows you and your crew to stay on the road longer without sacrificing comfort.
Yes—our big bunk sleepers even include a toilet and shower for added convenience.

What is a Heavy Duty Truck?
Heavy duty trucks are absolutely essential in our economy today. They’re responsible for moving goods across the country and transporting large equipment for various industries. Our team at GATR Truck Center understands the importance of having the right truck! We’ve put together a quick guide for defining exactly what a heavy duty truck is so you can determine if that’s the right fit for you.Weight Classifications
Most trucks are classified and defined by their weight. Heavy duty trucks are considered any vehicle that weighs more than 26,001 pounds. Common vehicles that fall into this weight range include: cement mixers, garbage trucks, larger semis, city buses, and mobile cranes. When you see an oversized load heading down the highway, it’s more than likely being pulled by a heavy duty truck!Within the heavy duty classification, you will find three different vehicle classes; Class 7, 8, and 9. Class 7 vehicles are between 26,001 and 33,000 pounds. Class 9, on the other hand, is anything above 60,000 pounds!
Licensing & Regulation
All heavy duty vehicles require the operator to have a CDL, or commercial driver’s license. So, no matter what kind of heavy duty truck you need, you’ll also need to have the correct licensing to legally operate.There are also guidelines that must be followed when you carry a CDL and when you haul with heavy duty vehicles. You will need to be completely aware of differing weight limits, vehicle requirements, and driving guidelines before you hit the road.
Heavy duty trucks are incredible and can tackle incredible tasks! Visit us at one of our Minnesota or Iowa locations. You can find us in Elk River or Sauk Rapids, MN, or in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines or Waterloo, IA.
