Description: Truckers travel in Clans. They are the traveling traders who live, work, and party in their trucks. Some have working CBs and use them to communicate with other truckers. There are some who use their vehicles as raiding engines. All would lose any inhibitions in order to obtain a "legendary" fusion power pack.

I never understood that last sentence myself. What good is a fusion power pack to Gypsy truckers? Their trucks are diesel and gasoline combustion motors, presumably their generators are too. They can generate electricity.

What good is a fusion power pack to them?

The Gypsy Truckers are going to throw the Region wide open to the Team. Presumably the Truckers have crisscrossed the are for generations and know the roads, the terrain, and the people in it. If there are other Morrow Teams or rumors of them presumably the Gypsy Truckers have heard of it. So the PD needs to be prepared with his background material and update his PD only Maps. The Players are going to ask alot of questions, if it is too much or the PD isn't ready, make them buy it. Barter away the Teams gold, booze, and ammo if they will part for it for information about the road, deadly nuclear impacts,descriptions of the local Bandits, etc. Then they can worry if the information is the truth, current, and correct.
