those with company trucks and 400w inverters

the only time I unplugged was when I was on hometime......of course I didn't drive for swift

 

I leave mine plugged in all the time and i have a 12v waeco cooler that stays plugged in as well.

I have had no issues with the shop or the truck what so ever.

 

I leave my cooler plugged in all the time unless I'm on home time. I usually unplug the inverter unless I'm using something, but not sure it matters.

 

I had two 400 watt inverters and the coleman 12 volt...and the batteries only complained after 12 hours if I wasn't running the truck.

 

Left my cooler plugged in for a couple hours once.

Had to jump the truck.

The company had no sympathy for drivers that left them plugged in and had to pay for jumps.

 

Last truck I had did something like that too Medic...turned out the cooler was going bad ....it was drawing to much power....unplug the cooler and away I went

 

My company sent me on a load to St. Louis with a leaking power steering pump. They did not have time for the mechanic to fix it, but yet, I could drive it down there and sit and wait for 5 hours before the shippers appt.

So, they asked me to change it.

Like a rookie, why not.

It took longer, because two of the bolts stripped off and I had to get the mechanic to come out anyway. Meanwhile, forgot the cooler.

Jump required. Thankfully, they were okay for one time, since I had tried to fix the truck.

 

I work for Swift but I am too poor to own a cooler. I do have a inverter to power a few things but I always UN plug it when I am done with it.
