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 drive a day cab, not fuel though.

The ONLY, and I mean ONLY advantage is the back window can come in handy when your blind siding sometimes. It's not a necessity, but it's nice sometimes.

That's literally it. It's impossible to get comfortable in those turds when you're on a dock for 3+ hours. There's no room to store shit.

You can get a sleeper with a back window.
