Swift Refrigerated

The single-bunk one I had once had plenty of cabinet storage. Do you know what type you’ll be getting?

Double Bunk, I am assuming anyways, top bunk is for storage, no way to get me to train haha.

Got my new girl. Ready to take her on the road. Covering a local load and then going to Denver. Hoping the unload and load don't take too long. We will see.

It's a beauty! What are the features in this state of the art Truck?

Nice looking color. Congratulations!

Well a few things. Swift upped the inverter so we can run a microwave, also it comes with a fridge, TV mount, and an added plus that the front chair swivels so you can sit in it and watch TV or whatever. Truck has an isx15 Cummins engine I believe. Awesome sounding engine. Truck has 12 miles so I'm the first to basically sleep in it and to take it on a decent sized run. Will see how it does.

Nice looking color. Congratulations!

I love the new blue, noticed they are also getting gray trucks that actually say Swift Refrigerated. First good size load is 795 miles, will do my best to document this experience to help others.

I am a total rookie with reefer in terms of picking up and delivering the otr way and not the Walmart way. Looking forward to the experience. Gonna look like a total rookie as I get used to driving the international.

“ISX 15 I believe”? It’s on a big plate on the side of the motor. Better get out that owners manual and read up on it! Don’t be that guy that checks the oil dipstick, sees it does need a gallon of oil, but has no idea what type of oil to add. I’ve never heard of getting assigned a truck with so few miles. Right off the assembly line. Fantastic!

Does it have APU or does it have to idle? Sirius ready?

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Reefer:

A refrigerated trailer.

APU:

Auxiliary Power Unit

On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.

Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

Well.........someone has to be in charge of turning it into a "used" truck. Gladhand was blessed with the task. Great news Gladhand. My 2019 Cascadia came with an 1800 watt inverter, refrigerator, and microwave cabinet as well. I measured the cabinet and found a 1200 watt microwave at Wallyworld that fits perfectly. It looks like it is built in to the truck. I think it was 79 or maybe 89 dollars. I have saved a crap ton of money on food.

I just got out of a 19 International because of issues with it, and got in the 20 FL in my picture. Swift still doesn't do APU's in their trucks, but I've heard talks of them testing it. As far as SiriusXM goes, I had to get my own unit and mount the antenna on the mirror.
