A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle according to claim 1, further comprising a first crossbar substantially parallel to a wall of the cargo area securing said top ends of said upright support members that are adjacent a common wall together. 3. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said transverse support members comprise transverse ribs of the roof of the cargo vehicle. 4. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle according to claim 2, further comprising a second crossbar substantially parallel to said first crossbar and the adjacent wall of the cargo area securing said bottom ends of said upright support members that are adjacent a common wall together. 5. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle, comprising: substantially vertical upright support members, each having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom ends secured to the floor of a cargo area of a vehicle, said upright support members being horizontally spaced apart adjacent but not secured to side walls of the cargo area; and shelves vertically adjustably attached to said upright members, wherein said upright support members are adjustable in height. 6. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle according to claim 5, said bottom ends further comprising telescoping feet adjustable to accommodate variations in the height of the floor of the cargo vehicle. 7. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle, comprising: substantially vertical upright support members, each having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom ends secured to the floor of a cargo area of a vehicle, said upright support members being horizontally spaced apart adjacent but not secured to side walls of the cargo area; shelves vertically adjustably attached to said upright members; and shims insertable between said bottom ends and the floor of the cargo vehicle to accommodate variations in the height of the floor. 8. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle, comprising: substantially vertical upright support members, each having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom ends secured to the floor of a cargo area of a vehicle, said upright support members being horizontally spaced apart adjacent but not secured to side walls of the cargo area; and shelves vertically adjustably attached to said upright members, said shelves being pivotable between a first in-use position substantially parallel to the floor of the cargo vehicle and a second storage position substantially parallel to the walls of the cargo vehicle. 9. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle, comprising: substantially vertical upright support members, each having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom ends secured to the floor of a cargo area of a vehicle, said upright support members being horizontally spaced apart adjacent but not secured to side walls of the cargo area; and shelves vertically adjustably attached to said upright members, wherein each of said upright support members has a central longitudinal channel. 10. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle according to claim 9, further comprising channel brackets pivotably securable to said channels of said upright support members, wherein said shelves are attached to said channel brackets. 11. A shelving system for a cargo area of a cargo vehicle according to claim 10, further comprising: first holes formed in said channels; second holes formed in said channel brackets; and an axle disposed in said first and second holes securing said channel brackets to said channels, wherein said channel brackets rotate about said axles. 12.
