    I think I'm gonna splurge on a fridge or a cooler for my company truck. Don't want to spend a ton of money since I'm still pretty new at this, but would like something for sandwiches and drinks. My assigned truck is a new T680. Any recommendations?

    You can get the 12v Colemans for $85. I've had a couple. Saved me hundreds in food costs.

    I kept a 12v up front for drinks and bough the stand up bigger brother that fit perfect in the fridge spot height wise and never moved. I is that for food. In the long run bringing prepared foods from home in it and saved a ton.

    I've had the 12v Coleman from day 1. Bought it the morning I was assigned a truck. Saves ridiculous amounts of money compared to eating out every day. Just had to replace the fan and toss about 1/3 of the food in there.... Got a new fan from RadioShack for $15 and it's kind of worrying how cold it's getting now...

    In PA now. It's not so bad here. Wasn't the heat at all though, the fan that comes with it was small and dinky. It just stopped working and by the time I noticed I wasn't comfortable with eating food that was in a hot box instead of a fridge for that long.. Really easy fix though and shouldn't happen again. I'm worried that I've just created a freezer though..

    I'm more of a Kansas City kinda football guy. :p
    True enough, for most species. Echolocation is one hell of a bonus feature tho. They're like rats with wings that crossbred with a dolphin. Nature is awesome.
