Well the second one is actually a big-truck.. so that was kind of cheating, but if you've got that for a DD, you need help anyway, considering that the rear frame section of that truck is long enough to hold a Geo Metro and a half, and the body section w/o the sleeper is like 10FT long. The whole truck is ~30Ft long, dual rear axle, dual tires on both axles, 60/40 power splitter between the rear axles, iirc.

And Cabover, if anyone doesn't know, means "flat nose" or "cab on top of engine/front axle". You've all seen them... think Optimus Prime from Transformers. (The old TV series, not the new crap.)
