    Trans Am has satellite tv and a big tv in most of their trucks.

    FWIW, (old information,) when I was OTR I had a small TV. It set on a shelf that had straps and hook ups. Located behind the passenger seat, in other words, at the foot, a bit to the left, and a bit above the bunk. Don't know what they are doing with them now. I used it mostly for the built in VCR.

    Where are they mounting these tvs? On the back wall? Just don't want it to be in my way that's all. I could really live without it to be honest.

    There was another company that just started but for the life of me can't remember which one. It was actually a good company also not trans am or western express.

    Holland Enterprises. Free DirecTV (no monthly charges) and includes basic along with most movie channels, requires $200 refundable equip. deposit. Includes 27 inch?? LCD TV, mounted on right sleeper wall, with a flat dtv rf antenna to get locals

    It's on a swing wall mount but I've never had the need to swing it and it's not in the way

    Millis has Direct TV w free NFL Season pass. Always a little concerned about companies with TVs in trucks. Is that to pacify the driver cause the wheels aren't turning as much as they should be?

    I easily average 3,000 paid miles week and have directv at no cost. If I sit for more than a 10 it's because I've quickly burned through my 70 and a restart makes sense. Not every carrier sucks.

    I think the op s question has been missed. He is not looking to know what companies have tvs, he wants to know how and where they are mounted.
     
    ChancexTaker0827 and HalpinUout Thank this.
