    Front License Plate?

    I drove a company owned cargo van for Con-Way Now. Believe it or not all company vans ran IRP Apportioned tags. One plate was issued (Illinois??) and it was mounted on front. A printed plastic tag sized plate was attatched to the rear door in the plate holder which read- IRP Apportioned...

    Wi-Fi antenna

    I found this antenna but its a bit pricey. I like the fact that it plugs into the USB port and apparently overrides the built in card and antenna in my laptop. Calling all Geeks. What do you think? Jayman? http://www.radiolabs.com/products/wireless/waverv.php

    RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Thad: I went to the link you provided and one of the pictures showed a placard listing the load capacity to be 2,600#. Figure in a co-driver, gear and a sleeper and you don't have much left to work with. You may want to do some more...

    Having some difficulties..
