    When I say low ceiling what I really mean is only one bed. Trucks with low ceiling don't have space for double bunks... Does your truck have one or 2 beds? I use the upper bunk as storage. Cause I carry a lot of stuff, I cook in the truck, carry stove, pots, cookware, store rice, granola, raw salt, organic can food for the 2 - 3 months that I stay on the road (I am vegetarian)... can't carry all that + other things in a small Volvo with one bed only and practically no storage under the bed... :biggrin_25512: I understand, most folks want to go home after 14 days and don't need much storage room in the truck... But I don't have any reason to have a home and make the truck my home for months at a time.

    The Cummins board is no touch but they also have a bunch of other runs that do. I was interested in the Sears tire run where it is 100% touch freight. i would love throwing tires. i may interview with them. Right now i have an interview with Jrayl which is my first choice.
