Pictures of my setup.
The shelving I made myself and used existing holes in the truck to secure it.
The fridge and microwave are bolted down in place so they won't try and attack me if I am ever in an accident.
Hope this helps you out and gives you ideas on how you can maximize the space in here.

CrazyEyes426, alds, Milesfordays and 9 others Thank this. -
Now you just need a trash can for all the garbage on the floor.
darthanubis, Drac1985 and 123456 Thank this. -
Lol, that was the groceries I just bought. I hasn't put them away yet. Wanted to get these posted like I said I would.
darthanubis Thanks this. -
First, the company spec for company driver trucks is 58 on the pedal and 62 on cruise. That can change if you don't manage to toe the line set for company driver fuel economy.
Second I've seen some amazingly fat individuals waddle out of Crete and Shaffer trucks.
Oh... just for full disclosure since freightwipper neglected to mention it, freightwipper is a driver at Crete and to the best of my knowledge has no firsthand knowledge of company policies at Prime since he's never been on the property much less actually walked through the front door in Springfield.
I do have that right Mr. Freightwipper? You're a troll posting BS, correct?Last edited: Aug 31, 2014

Have seen redoctober83's setup, and have to say I was quite impressed with it.
Was really surprised to see how workable it is.
Co-driver going solo soon & really didn't want to go lightweight. He was also impressed, and could see it working out after seing it in person.darthanubis, JimmyBones, redoctober83 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Pretty negative coming from a moderator, especially since I see no trash on his floor, Just a very organized truck

What's the most freight you can gross in a condo, loaded?
about 45k
so IF the truck weight was 10k less as you say then you should be away to haul OVER 50k -
Are you forgetting about the 2500 pound reefer unit on the front of the trailer. Also, I have a 2013 freightliner Cascadia Condo. I usually have a student with me. I have had 46k in the box with half fuel load and was at 79650. The load was 20 bags of xanthan gum from ADM in Decatur Ill in case you were wondering. I know Crete doesn't haul reefer unless you pull the occasional Schaeffer load. so are you comparing apples to apples or something else.
Or are you talking a dry loaded weight in a dry box trailer that is CONSIDERABLY lighter than a reefer box -
