customization

The commercial industry would definitely not be the same without the semi-trucks. The utilitarian cargo vehicle came a long way after some humble beginnings.The original semi-truck started in 1898 as a horseless carriage, and has been evolving since then. Today, the whole world depends on them. Truckers drive thousands of miles each week, and basically live in the oversized vehicles. Naturally, they customize their trucks to make it truly their own, and one of a kind. That way it feels closer and more like home and it expresses who they are as people.

This practice is around for a while now, and there have been some truly amazing customizations out there. They cause heads to turn and look wherever they go.
