Patrick,

Now that's a bit strange, I did an article on map trucks for WAML IB a
few years ago. Here's the citation:

Andrew, Paige G. "A Case for Moving Maps with Care: A Review of Map
Trucks." _Information Bulletin_ (Western Association of Map Libraries)
28 (1): 15-23 (1996).

and I know there have been at least a couple other ones done over the
years too...
