About

Stoops Specialty Trucks has partnered with Bentz Transport Products (Bentz) in Fort Wayne, Indiana to design and manufacture an exclusive line of fully integrated custom sleepers for the Freightliner Columbia, Century S/T, and Coronado models. According to SST Sales Manager, Jeff Jones, this program was developed in response to a market demand for larger, fully integrated, upscale sleepers on Class 8 tractors and straight trucks.

The engineering and tooling efforts required for this new sleeper program were significant according to Keith Bentz, President of Bentz. “This is the first production fully integrated custom sleeper brought to market. It is also the largest integrated sleeper available. The design and fit-and-finish result in a product with factory appearance combined with all of the features of a custom sleeper,” says Bentz.

Targeted to husband and wife teams in the tractor/trailer and expediter truck market segments, upscale features such as bigger beds, larger refrigerators, auxiliary power units and shower/toilet accommodations are offered. The SST Conversions on the Columbia, Century S/T, and Coronado tractors are designed to offer large and luxurious accommodations in a lightweight package. The SST100IS1XT on the Columbia CL112 straight truck chassis is designed to meet expediter requirements for a 22’ van body within a 40’ overall length. The roof is low enough to allow a refrigeration unit to be installed above the sleeper for highly specialized climate control applications.
