    Those drivers are most likely to be EX HHG drivers that are now pulling electronics for Tradeshows,hence Bekins, Atlas,United. They are "blanket wrap" gigs.

    Safeway and Horizon,Andrews are United agents that are big on Tradeshows.

    2010 at a Truck stop there was a guy with a two room three bed sleeper. he used it for training two students at a time. I have long forgot who he was driving for.

    Could use two beds for lumpers with Mayflower maybe.

    a 36 inch sleeper where you had to jump through the hole to get into it was always good enough for me. i always like to go big in the other end motor wise

    Thanks for the awesome pics! I guess if you look at it a certain way...it's kind of like getting paid to take a permanent RV vacation.

    Southern Pride trks. pretty much live at the airports.
    They are on stand by all the time. You get the call you gotta haul. If late there are big costs involved
