I assume you are going to buy your own truck and run as an owner/operator . No carri9er would be willing to bear the expense of installing this equipment . Every truckstop has handicap spaces for semis so there are handicapped drivers out there .

Good morning drivers! I am new here and looking for your input. I am just beginning to do some reseach on helping disabled vets, amputees in particular, secure jobs in trucking. Perhaps there could be a good opportunity for these folks to do well in trucking. Also helping fleets to fill emty seats. I feel there is a good match here. With the technology availale in the trucks and for the vets protetics. Please provide any constuctive feedback you can.
