Policy on inverters at Knight...

sum it up, i dont wanna waste my data on a knight video

 

They are only 1200w inverters, they cost the company around 1250$ per and will be used as a incentive to get people out of the manual trucks and into the automatics, pre req if you want one in your truck it HAS to already be equiped with a dash cam.

Strait from a good friend thats going to be doing the installs for his terminal.

Glad I left when I did, the next surprise that coming down the pipe will surprise alot of drivers, and not the good kind of surprise.

 

Phx is first on the list, tho this should be no surprise to anyone.

 

$1250 for an inverter? HELL, I'll sell you an 1800w and install it for $1200.

Sounds like they need to find a new supplier cuz you can get one at ANY truck stop for $200.

 

Supposedly these are ones supplied by the dealer as to meet warranty requirements.

Edit,
It's the cost of the Unit, install kit and shop labor. Also the ones at most truck stops are total junk and have a good chance of buring ur truck down. Dont take my word for it Google it.

 

Sorry, if you somehow think that is a deal of some sort, you may as well give your paychecks to charity. I can get a thermo king inverter, 1800 w installed for less than $580. All my years of trucking, I have never heard of an inverter that had to meet warranty requirements. It draws on your batteries. That's got nothing to do with a truck warranty. I just think that is an outrageous price.

 

Didn't Knight choose to only install outward facing cameras though?

 

I never said it was, im just stating why they did what they did and the cost of it. As for the warranty I have no idea, they are megas they dont play by the same rules when it comes to warranty in general. It could also be to meet insurance requirements, this is just what I was told by the guy installing them. Take it for what it is.
