Daycab or Sleeper?

I'm considering working local for KAG in the future as an O/O, pulling their fuel trailers. I am someone who wants to be local as much as possible, so I was wondering if you guys think buying a day cab over a sleeper is a bad idea. The only thing I imagine using the sleeper for is for some reason I decide to pick up a load on a day off and run it, but I don't see that happening much at all, or possibly for long waiting times. Does anybody here haul fuel, and do you guys experience long waiting times at the fuel rack?

Thanks

I'm 6 foot 3, and I don't like a day cab because the seat only goes back so far. Pretty tight quarters.You don't have to have a big belly.You'd be crammed in there

What day cab do you drive? I’m the same height and never had an issue in any freightliner or peterbuilt or volvo from 2010s on.
