Disclosed is a utility truck bed comprising one or more of the following elements: (i) two worker stations located behind the cabin of the truck, each of which comprises a passenger well with a floor that is horizontally positioned below the bottom plane of the rest of the bed; (ii) a safety gate on the outside of the bed that slides horizontally to provide access to the well; (iii) a safety harness for connecting the worker to a fixed portion of the assembly; (iv) a sliding safety gate adjacent the passenger well on the inside of the bed; and (v) storage compartments positioned on the back of the truck bed, each extending longitudinally away from each worker station and positioned to provide sufficient space between each compartment to place working materials that do not fit in the storage compartments. Each storage compartment may include a closed box portion, an open box portion with guide rails to accommodate materials but allow the worker to have full view of the road behind the truck, and a safety guard to keep materials secured within the open box.
