This casting was introduced in 2001 as part of the Pavement Pounders series. The name "Short Nose Sleeper Cab Truck" is unofficial, as none of the transporter castings from these series were named. It is modeled after a modern streamlined semi-truck, often called "short nose" trucks in contrast to the older long nose trucks. The truck tows a streamlined box trailer. There is space in the trailer for one car, and the rear opens up to form a ramp. The cab can be disconnected from the trailer. This is the only casting to have ever used GW wheels.
