Are Volvos the only trucks with dinettes?

Older Kenworths (W9, T880, etc.) had a couch option. Western Stars have had a dinette option for a long time.

I had a Freightliner Classic XL that was a double bunk and I converted the lower one into a desk, chair and storage. I also put a bar fridge in one lower cabinet, added microwave, etc.

 

Pretty much only useful for condiments and short term storage of snacks and sandwiches.

Investing in a nice chest unit makes a world of difference.

 

It should be standard equipment for all OTR drivers.
I've had one, there freaking awesome.
You almost feel like a human being in them.

 

My shipex truck has the bunk with table.
Cascadia has all features enabled.
Performance mode and manual mode is not locked out..like most other companies.
Fridge.
Leather seats.
Premium mattress.
70 mph with pass smart which lets you run 73 for 30 minutes daily.
Who cares what the features cost as a company driver?

 

Ahhhh. First world problems.....

Go for it, that freezer was my favorite purchase. I keep it set to 0 or lower for raw meats or microwavable foods. For meat, I'll separate it into ziplock bags for freezing and move a bag to my fridge to thaw out for cooking the next day.

Whynter 84qt portable freezer. The temp can be set from -10 to I think +40 and it can run off a standard household plug OR 12volt cigarette outlet so should be safe for company trucks. It cost around $700 but can get them smaller or a bit larger then that. Maintains temp well when unplugged, but that depends on ambient temps. Can leave it unplugged overnight and stuff will still be frozen so you wont have to worry about it draining batteries if you can't idle and don't have an APU.

But it isn't light, it weighs close to 100lb empty so not good if you slipseat. Even changing companys (or being fired) can pose a hassle, too expensive to leave behind and might be too big for a bus. Gotta rent a car or suv to put it in to take home or to a new company.

 

I have that same freezer, but it quit working and I can’t find soul to work on it..

If you're ok with going to California, they have a place outside Los Angeles in Brea. Looks like a warehouse on google maps, but some reviewers say they went there to get parts or repairs.
