    Hi everyone,

    I recently got a new 2014 Freightliner 114SD at work and I was pretty disappointed in the lack of storage options inside the cab. I was wondering if any of you might have any ideas on how I could go about creating a little extra storage room for random supplies, small tools, owners manuals, etc. inside the cab. There's an area behind the seats roughly 19" wide by about 25" tall that I could probably mount something to if I found the right storage organizer type thing, here's a picture of the area:

    I'm just trying to figure out what I could possibly mount that would give me a little extra storage?

    The first thing that popped into my mind was something like this, made out of canvas or cloth:

    Although I'm sure there must be something more sturdy/durable/suited for a semi truck out there...


    Do any of you have any clever ideas or know of any storage/organizer solutions for the inside of a Freightliner daycab? I would certainly be interested in hearing all/any ideas any of you might have...

    Thanks a lot!!!

    If you don't ever have a passenger just get yourself one of those "seat back organizers" that are available at any truckstop and turn it around (I.e. face the storage pockets forward). Been running with one of those for years... one of the best uses of 20 bucks I can think of.

    ***EDIT*** Found an example on amazon for 18 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/RoadPro-RPSB-...412908880&sr=1-8&keywords=seat+back+organizer
