    Easy, work hard enough all day long & you’re tired for all that crap. A
    same, except dip. Do have a cooler for lunch meat & drinks. My sleepers not much bigger then that.

    I never had a fridge until the 2017 I bought. My 2022 had a fridge and I did throw a microwave in. The truck I’m in now has a small fridge behind the passenger seat that’s big enough for my lunch and a couple drinks.

    I saw that pic and got a chuckle thinking about all the posts here about how big of a tv fits or the fridge isn’t big enough or the APU doesn’t work just right.

    You probably have the same small fridge in your truck as I do. All I keep in mine is bottled water and a half gallon milk for my coffee. Once in awhile I’ll toss a pint of ice cream in the freezer

    The one in this little flattop doesn’t even have a freezer. Guess that keeps me from having ice cream on hand at least.

    I don't know, I remember those days, also I don't have time for TV or games or any other crap when I am on the road, I'm out there to make $$ and could care less about any of that crap, I did install batteries , a way to charge them, and a fridge that slides out from under my bunk in the flat top, also has an inverter for mainly a hot plate, but also my computer for work and hopefully a printer here soon. Half the time I don't even have time to cook anything until the days over or I am trying to split clock the day. If I have down time I am usually taking care of billing or something else related to the truck, I have no idea how these guys find the dam time to do any of that crap on The road

    I don't have to imagine, I lived it. I can only say, we never heard of such things, yet, and the truck was just to drive or nap, not live in. The Superliner was an okay truck, pretty much a R model with a bigger hood. This has a chrome bulldog indicating a non-Mack drivetrain, probably a Cummins. Wylie was pretty popular in the Mid-west for a long time.

    When I worked for Central Transport in the late 80's, we were consolidating the inbound freight for 2 local manufacturing plants. Whiteford systems was one company bringing in freight, and had just purchased similar Superliners. Plain blue, nothing fancy on the outside. I don't remember what was under the hood, but they were straight 5 speeds. For an OTR truck.

    Whiteford is strictly a truck dealer these days.

    I’ve heard of Superdogs having B-model Cats in them too, but if I had to guess I’d say that’s 4” exhaust which was most typically attached to a Mack engine.

    No need for printer. PDF file on iPhone. Send it anywhere, or wait and print at home if hard copy needed for records. Printers in Trucks are so last century. I had one for a few months. It survived a fit of rage, getting thrown against the sleeper wall. lol. Not worth the aggravation or cost of ink.
     
    austinmike and Concorde Thank this.
