Any recent info on Brooks Or. terminal?

No you can switch at any time thru your DM.

 

The only thing that you hafta buy is the inverter. You gotta use the "approved" model and they gotta install it in your truck. That said, it couldn't be more painless: they deduct $25/week from your paycheck to cover it. Easy-peasy!
Then, when you switch trucks eventually, they quickly and cheerfully swap it out of the old truck to the new truck.

May covers chains, locks and load locks. You won't need a kingpin lock.

 

I seem to recall it being $225.00.
It's a Tundra E2000.

Yes, guys run all those things that you mentioned, though in my (modest) experience, refridgerators don't like to run all night without starting the truck up in the middle of the night. At least that's the way it was for my trainer. I only run a Koolatron (heat exchanger), which works for my needs, and that runs off of 12v.

I use my inverter mainly for my coffee needs (electric kettle) and my toast needs (because toast seriously rocks!) plus I charge up my DVD player and laptop. Toast and decent coffee is about as elaborate as I get.

 

Oh, and it has two grounded plugs.

Also, I highly recommend that you buy one of these: http://m.tmart.com/1-to-3-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-Sockets-Power-Adapter-Splitter-with-USB_p241596.htmlbefore you begin. The bastids at Pilot/Love's/TA will charge you four or five times as much for the same thing.

 

I do the same. 12 v cooler and a coffee maker. Gotta have the fresh coffee in the morning.

Cooler runs all night but if I run the bunk heater I have to idle to make the coffee. Coffee maker uses about 750 watts. 10 minutes and it's done. About 1 snooze on the alarm.

 

I am largely satisfied with the Koolatron. Santa gave it to me, so I can't complain. A refridgerator it is not, but it keeps my bottled water, soft drinks, milk and butter acceptably cold.

As as far as "plug-in" inverters, the answer is no. It even states that in the manual ("up to and including termination"), but what is only plugged into a (fused) cigarette lighter is probably not what they're concerned about. Probably.

But if they install a good one and deduct only $25/week for nine weeks, why mess around? I realize that, signing on a new driver, you most likely are pinching pennies, but after a couple months, you'll be back to solvency. (Or, at least that's the way it worked out for me)
