When we were shopping around for a custom sleeper in 2002, one sleeper builder showed us a sleeper he was building for a handicaped driver and his wife. The man had no legs below the knee, and the sleeper was fitted with a lift to get his wheel chair in and out of the truck. I was once again...

I just received an e-mail about this new generator set-up. It might work out ok for B-Units http://www.funroads.com/articles/juicebox.jhtml

We used Norton until it started giving us problems. An IT friend suggested AVAST which is free to non-commercial users. Downloaded it off the internet site and have not had any problems since. It also updates itself everytime you log on to the internet.

Even though we are paid a percentage I think our system will work for anyone. First you need to know how much it costs to run your truck per mile. See why people keep bringing that up. It helps you to know if you're going to be doing a load for profit or just out of the goodness of your heart...
