Specially designed by engineers from his own company and G.M., his 500 new tractors were built for two-man driving teams. They have comfortable sleeping units and other features suggested by a Harvard University study on driver fatigue and safety (e.g., shaded windshields, adjustable seats to prevent tiring). Of his 1,400 new trailers, 400 are mechanically refrigerated...
