You all are hilarious! Yes, I am referring to in cab items; grill plates, hot plates, items like that. Obviously hostages are a given...all cabs come equipped these days I am sure rofl-1.gif

As long as the tractor has an APU/inverter... all above are good. Propane tanks (kept on the catwalk, usually) .. may be frowned upon.

No Spotted Lantern Flies ... either!

ps: No, all cabs DO NOT come equipped.. some, marginally. (Unless you mean hostages .. don't know the #'s but you can find that on CDLlife.com~)

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

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.

On to the important items of Eat & Drink which one cannot live without. Literally!

I have a company installed 2500 watt inverter that can power a number of implements. On this truck I currently utilize a 12" Presto electric skillet, a 700 watt microwave, a large (for a truck) Danby brand refrigerator, an ICECO brand freezer/refrigerator, and a Coleman brand portable cooler.

Non-cooking electrical items are a CB, a cordless leaf blower, a GPS unit, a cordless grinder, a cordless spotlight, a television, and a Sirius XM radio.

I signed a paper which mentioned alcohol and guns as not allowed in the truck. The boss said though that he had to include this paragraph because of some insurance policies, although it was up to a driver to learn about local and federal laws, and make educated decusions.

Most reasonable small appliances like microwave, fridge, coffee pot. And in my case, drumset, bass, keyboard are good. Ive seen guys with grills and the like but the propane bottles might be an issue.

I'll have to clean out the hostages and take down the restraint systems. Kinda miffed about that.
