I've rented pickup trucks before and I've always been so fascinated with the hanging folder rails in the center console. I have no need to work out of a truck but the fact that you could turn it into a mobile office is very cool.
It is very common. The foreman on a larger project drives a truck and uses it as an office. They need a truck for some activities so it can't be a car (often because the tools are in the back), but they are spend a significant amount of time in the truck doing paperwork. Large jobs will have mobile offices brought in for the job. Even if you are a small company (think pouring a sidewalk), you still need a place to fill out the paperwork so you can bill the customer.
I can see that 10 or more years ago but these days I'd think that would all be done on a laptop or tablet.
Lots of small businesses out there that still do everything with paper.
You still are working with it for long enough to want to sit.
It looks like a great steering wheel that won’t fly out the window while driving.
that is a good idea!
For better or worse, "steering wheel lap desk" is what you've looking for, no Ford Transit van required.
