Just looking through the vehicles in arsenal, and I noticed that not only does the semi have better acceleration than the roadmaster, but no availability cost, and its not standardly armored. Plus, they're common, all over the place. Yes, they're more expensive, but they have more room for modifications, and are less likely to draw all sorts of attention.

Not to mention you can use a trailer as well and add to the idea that you are a legitimate cargo carrier, while providing a convienient staging place for the team to leave/meet up both before and after the run. Not to mention plenty of room for loot/bodies/etc.

Feel free to make your own recommendations to which vehicles would suit the rigger command base style of use and why. I'll be posting later with my fully modified Zugmaschine.
