    :Bicycle:
    Seen a few bicycles mounted behind the cab over the catwalk while driving in traffic, but never got a close look. Have you seen a bike rack for sale that will work on a newer Volvo midroof?

    Use some skate boarder rubber stretchies and run them between the grab handles on the back of the cab! I have seen these used on a few trucks with bicycles on the back of the cab! I just can't:biggrin_25512: figure out why you think you will need to pull the truck with the Bicycle when it is a Volvo?:biggrin_25513:

    Haha! You know these automatic transmissions...always failing when needed most. Tired of wasting hours/fuel on personal trips after parking at the truck stop.

    I have a bike tight on the deck between the cab and the crane on my truck. That's usually how I get home after moving it to a job site. I haven't had time to weld up a carrier for the motorcycle yet.

    I use to just have mine mounted to the headache rack with bungees, guessing if you bought an actual bike rack by "Thule" or someone like that you could drill the back of your sleeper and mount it probably
