Sterling's NightShift Sleeper
2 min to read
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.
Departmentally assigned vehicles often create hidden costs through underutilization, poor visibility, and increased administrative burden. This white paper explores how shared motor pool strategies help fleets reduce costs, improve accountability, and optimize vehicle utilization.
From oil changes to procurement decisions, fleet work is often underestimated by the very people who depend on it most. Bob Stanton makes the case for why communication, not just technical expertise, is one of the most important leadership skills in fleet.
This conversation digs into some real and necessary questions, including the old-school mindsets that still show up in fleet and explores the changes happening now.
General Motors, Disney Imagination Campus, and DonorsChoose, awarded $150,000 in funding to 15 teachers, who were honored during Teacher Appreciation Week. The teachers will use the funds to “pay it forward” and support other educators in their communities.
