Laptop stands and copilot 9 truck

DnT · Nov 2, 2006

Looking for a laptop stand for a 2007 Freightliner.I have seen most of them online, but whats a good one to buy? Also, does anyone use copilot 9 truck? I have read a couple of trucker blogs on copilot 9, and they were bad. Your opinions and answers will be appreciated. Thanks

PJ out of Canton Sells a laptop stand that comes with a holder for the Clink and XM. It's around $110.00 for everything. We have it in a few of our trucks

I bought my husband the ram-mount stand that attaches to the base of the passenger seat. Here is a link for several kinds:

He has no complaints about his at all.

I bought my ram mount and co-pilot 9 from dieselboss.I love having my laptop in my truck and the gps is great.I will be honest i also have microsoft streets and maps installed for a back up.But for the most part i use copilot because its designed for trucks.

I got the one at PJ's but I use the passenger seat most of the time. I would like something a little lower and closer than the one from PJ.I say one at Bosselmans Pilot in Des Moines that was made out of mirror brackets. I think I will copy that as soon as I find a computer base with built in fans. I saw them online and forgot where.

Or do what I do, I have a 8" touchscreen mounted to right of the driver on the dash. I have the wires ran to the cubby space above the driver where I put my laptop. That way I can keep my eyes on the road and the screen at the same time. Then with it being touchscreen no mouse to deal with. Also get a rf keyboard and you can type in address.

That stand at diesel boss is nice. The one I saw at PJ's is more practical for us because it has up to 3 brackets to include the qc, a laptop and an XM or Sirrius radio or GPS device. And with all it is 122 installed.

PJ's is a shop in Canton,OH where Fed Ex sends us after orientation for Qualcoms. They make the Qualcom stand and have add ons for computers and cell phones. I stopped using the computer stand because I dont like having the computer in front of the windshield.
