Truckers who visit the Bence Sleepers display may feel more than a twinge of envy when they see the modified Volvo VNL42T that owner-operator Glen Rice is about to put into service as a reefer for FedEx Custom Critical. Almost 16 feet long and 8 feet high, the sleeper has a queen-sized bed, kitchen, shower and toilet, and several entertainment systems. Angola Coach outfitted the interior.

Owner-operator Shelly's three trailers provide versatility for sometimes tight deliveries. Most often today he's hooked to a 53-foot 2017 Great Dane, 102-inch wide, an upgrade from a 2012 96-inch Utility. 'I still run an '04 48-foot/96-inch-wide reefer occasionallly,' too, he said. 'My trailers are aged, but they’re in great shape.' As is evidenced in the picture.
