Is manual transmission still worth learning?
We have a wide mixture of transmission types in our local daycabs and the OTR tractors: autos, 10, 13, and 18 speeds. Generally it's whatever a particular driver prefers.

Cooking / dish washing in the sleeper and truck bunk storage
Freezer and fridge always stay plugged in. Any time I'm using the appliances (hot plate, electric skillet, microwave), it's one at a time, and the truck is started up. The built-in fridge and my Coleman cooler are always plugged in, too. The inverter that came with this truck is rated at 2000 watts.

Cooking / dish washing in the sleeper and truck bunk storage
This is my current arrangement in my 2023 KW T680.
The ICECO VL45 freezer/fridge I use strictly as a freezer. It has a 5 year warranty on the compressor, and has been running as new for more than 3 years so far. Expensive when I bought it at more than $550, but a wise investment. It stands close to 21" in height.
The stand-alone fridge is a DANBY that I've had for more than 4 years from Amazon. It stands nearly 33" in height, so it will not fit in the upper bunk in some trucks, specifically the newer Cascadia that have a ladder for the upper bunk.
The red and yellow totes were pilfered from truck stops. Sturdy, stackable, and they hold a lot of miscellaneous items.
The smallest clear tote I got at a yard sale a decade ago. All my extreme cold weather gear is kept in there.
