Which is better a short or long wheelbase cab of a semi truck?

Depends on what you want out of it. If you can't back up very well or you have to squeeze into really tight spaces, you probably want a shorter wheelbase truck. If you want a better ride, and more stability on slick roads, you'd want a longer wheelbase.

HOW LONG IS A TRUCK TRACTOR?

As long as the customer specifies it to be, up to 45 feet long. A typical OTR fleet truck will have a wheelbase from 220 to 240 inches. A Peterbilt 379 or 389 or a Kenworth W900L typically has a 265 - 270" wheelbase. When you get into specialized trucks and custom trucks with ICT sleepers, the wheelbase can get much longer... for example, I ran a winch truck in the oilfields with a 325 inch wheelbase.


How long is a semi truck?

For Class 8 truck pulling a 53' trailer, you can expect the length to typically be between 60 and 80 feet, depending on the wheelbase and hood extension of the power unit. With a Volvo VNL730 (with a 233 inch wheelbase) and 48' flatbed with the fifth wheel slid all the way to the rear, I measure out around 67 feet. With a Kenworth W900L (with a 270 inch wheelbase) and a 53' stepdeck trailer and the fifth wheel centred, I measured about 78 feet.
