REDFORD, MI – Sterling Truck Corporation has introduced the Sterling NightShift, a new integrated sleeper. Designed to maximize productivity and driver retention in regional haul applications, the NightShift features best-in-size storage of a mid-size, mid-roof sleeper, and a stand-up walk-through configuration. Designed specifically for the less-than-truckload (LTL), distribution, and leasing markets, the NightShift is ideal for drivers who travel multiple days per week and is available in a 60-inch mid-roof configuration for the Sterling Set-back 113 and Set-Back 122 models.

The NightShift features a flexible storage configuration including the wrap-around sleeper storage and overhead console. The sleeper includes a space-maximizing overhead rear wall and forward center storage, side storage cabinets, and under bunk storage.

One of the key benefits in the NightShift is a standard eight-inch deep sleep quilted spring mattress, rather than the industry standard four-inch foam mattress.

Another comfort feature found in the NightShift is its significant headroom. With an 80-inch floor-to-ceiling height — enough for a 6’4” driver — and ample room between the seats, the driver can easily stand up and walk through the cab to the sleeper without crouching or bending over. Also, because the floor is flat between the cab and the sleeper, the driver does not have to navigate any steps or ledges.

The NightShift also offers its Sterling clear view 36 x 10-inch back window, which improves visibility by providing drivers with a better back-up view and job site visibility. In addition, the combination of the back and side windows increases natural light.

The truck’s exterior features include a right-hand access door with a sliding window and a left hand window with a sliding section for ventilation. Also standard is a left-hand luggage door and rear work lights. Optional side fairings and roof fairing with trim tabs are available for highway applications where aerodynamics is critical.

The Sterling NightShift comes standard with Sterling’s noise control package, which delivers a significant noise reduction during peak torque engine RPMs. This noise package includes new door and engine cover seals; shift boot and steering boot material and construction; a new door weather seal for improved surface contact; front wall inter-panel sealing; and front wall joints on the floor between the seats.
