    Sounds like you need one of these...

    I've had to use this before in company trucks. Most truck stops carry this brand.

    Type 1-

    First you need a BIG radio. Then a BIG hood. Then a BIG motor.

    Type 2-

    Whimsy aero truck. DEF truck. Probably uses a smart phone.


    This isn't about miles per gallon. It's about smiles per gallon.

    Those require drilling a hole in the plastic interior of the truck to install the screw that holds the hanger up. I am not allowed to drill holes in the plastic interior of tjis company truck.

    What the heck does that mean? In the OP my owner op type #1 is an independent, and my owner op type #2 is an owner op affiliated with one trucking company. Are you saying that an independent owner op needs a big hood, big radio, and big motor and owner op affiliated with one trucking company needs a whimsey aero truck that uses DEF?
