    Here are pictures of the interior of my lightweight truck.

    [​IMG]

    The wood shelves I made myself to make it more functional for me and to add extra storage space. The microwave is bolted down so it doesn't come at me while I drive.

    The fridge is also bolted down so it doesn't attack me while I drive.

    I used all preexisting holes in the truck to secure the wood shelves and the way it's setup I can be out of this truck in about an hour. It'll take me a couple hours to put it all back together in the new truck but what that's how long it takes most drivers to put there stuff away and make it there home anyways.

    Hope these pictures help.

    It takes (in my opinion) a person. With practical experience to design something like this.
    Oh sure an educated person (engineer) with a piece of paper (degree) to prove his/her intellect. Can Design a truck interior, but with no practical knowledge the aforementioned smart person is just being creative.

    Its like those people who design the parking lots of Peelot truck stops.

    Ok now I'm rambling..., ( bad habit of mine)

    ....
    ok that's my opinion , good evening .

    Remember, you don't have to be only at pad to work on pre-trip.

    Always lots of trucks at Campus, too. Usually friendly drivers if you ask.

    Make the best use of your time & get pre-trip down soon as possible. You will be greatfull later, if you do.

    Good luck out on PSD

    ;)

    Dear PSD's or TNT trainees it is helpful if you answer your phone when a trainer is trying to call you to do a phone interview. I have one now who's phone goes straight to voice mail the problem is if the trainee doesn't answer soon said trainee will be waiting longer cause I am not going to go a couple hundred miles out of the way to pickup someone who won't answer their phone.

    That is AWESOME redoctober83! Someone had mentioned using a shelving unit, or building one from scratch, but I like the way you did it! Makes a lot of sense now. I also like the clothing pole, since I'd rather hang my shirts up than roll them up and stick um in a drawer...especially since there aren't any drawers! Anyhow, thanks again for taking the time to post these!! Appreciate ya, Dave
