    Gp Transco is a good company. They not quite mega carrier size, but they are pretty big fleet. They’ve grown in a smart way, not by just adding more trucks but by increasing the amount of contracted lanes they run. I’m sure they have faired much better than most carriers during this downturn

    Those LED strips can be adjusted with an app on your phone. This will be the best way to personalize your lighting inside of the cabin! Also, there are marks on which you can cut the strips to shorten them as you desire, it's 100% safe to do (of course only when they're unplugged!).

    Does Alex know that after he finishes dabbling in trucking, after he winds down his Chef Alex sojourn, a new million-dollar career awaits as a Disney Pixar voice actor?

    remember the main difference in a kw and freightliner is the freightliner has a sharper turn radius when backing its definately a slightly different set up than a kw but not much different! also that fridge they supplied is dope but id get a 3.2 cu ft one with 2 doors so you have a seperate fridge and freezer that is what i have in my truck.
