Inverters on Schneider Trucks

get some small aluminum pans for easy cleanup.

can cook half a chicken in 45 minutes.

I used to bring leftovers in my 12V cooler and up a piece of steak, maybe add some veggies, a can of cream of mushroom soup, little water. might be to pans worth. plug in ,go back on the road for my final hour or so and dinner was done!!!

 

Love my lunch box oven...

I'll grill up a bunch of Chicken breast when home. Zip lock bag them up (2 to a bag) and put them in the deep freezer. Wife makes home made soup and chili, bags it up and in the deep freezer... when I leave home I just grab them and put them in the freezer in the truck.... in the morning I just take a bag from the freezer to the fridge to thaw. A hr before I'm done just dump it on the oven... hot and home made...

The trays are like 3 for $5 at the truck stops, dollar general 3 for $1... Walmart 5 for $1....

 

Dometic CC 40 - Powered Cooler, 38 l i got this thing. its 12v but it's a legit refrigerator and can almost freeze stuff. it was expensive but well worth it. it also barely sips power you can survive a 34 without idling the truck if you have to.

 

The Power Inverter is right under the bunk. Freightliner even has a whole for a cord to go through the floor board. The inverters are either 1500 W or 1800 W. Most drivers have the P4 Freightliners with a fridge built in. Trucks are pulled off the road in most cases with 450,000 miles approximately, so there is still partial warranty remaining to add to the value of the truck when they sell it. Never heard of a Schneider truck with 700,000 miles on it. Someone even said they didn't have any cabinets either. That's just not true unless you have a day cab.

 

You're mostly correct, except for the mileage.

Rough policy is that once you get a new truck (not new to you, NEW new), you'll be in it for 400,000 miles. After that you can ask for another new truck and we'll put a new hire into your old one. In theory, we're keeping trucks until at least 600K, and then outprocessing them based on cost to own. With the current truck situation, basically as long as it runs, we're putting a driver into it. The last three trainees I've passed all got trucks with 650k+.
