    I was lookin for ya yesterday as I was passing thru L'Ville around 5pm. I thought maybe I'd see ya on your way home around that time. I did see a Maverick stuck in a bad back up on 64 WB, and he did not look too amused. But he still waved back at me....

    I was just thinking of something. Maverick does allow you to put fridges in your truck correct and your own cb radio don't they? And what about GPS do they have their own truckers GPS in the trucks to help out out with directions? I know it would be stupid to get the fridge and cb radio right now with out haveing my own truck. So I was jsut wondering what the dimensions are for the fridge area so I can atleast price them out. And the CB radio "lol" I never had to put my own in think it is mainly because I don't like to mess around with electrical stuff. So hopefully they trucks do come with their own.

    If I recall correctly the dimensions are something like 20" tall, 18" wide and 18" depth- but I am not for sure about that.
    There is no GPS navigation in the trucks, you would have to supply your own. And, on that note, the GPS should not be used as your only guide. It is to be considered a tool, nothing more. You can really get yourself into a bad situation if you just let a GPS guide you around- especially in places like Chicago and Pittsburgh. I have a little Garmin (non-commercial Class A grade) and I really just use it as a "map" that I can always glance at to see my current location. I use my atlas as my primary trip planning tool, company directions as a secondary tool, and the GPS as a third. IN THAT ORDER.

    You do not want to let some little GPS lead you into a 10' bridge in a downtown area. That is one of my biggest fears, so I take great precautions to never let that situation happen to me. Especially since I am in Pittsburgh and Chicago alot.

    The CB? Maverick will install your cb for you once you have your truck. They do not want you doing that yourself.

    fridges allowed, cbs allowed and they want them installed by one of their shops, gps, you have to get your own, directions to most customers are macro 1 on the qualcom. i got one of those heat/cool fridges like in the truckstops and it worked well until it stopped cooling so it was replaced with a marine cooler (boating not military) that works well and doesn't drain batteries
