    My company is going to all stingers slowly but surely. My only concern is if I buy a fridge for my current Int'l Sh*tStar I won't be able to put it in a stinger truck (they have both Pete and Western Star). As I understand it, the beds are small and right behind the seat. Besides taking the passenger seat out, is there room for a dorm-sized fridge? Any info would be great. Thanks, guys.

    I've got a BougeRV 12v 53 quart fridge that's only 13" wide. Fits great between seats while leaving a path to sleeper. About seat cushion high, goes from cupholders to curtain in a Star. Don't know if it would clear shifter, it'd be close.

    Are you or the company against taking the seat out? Do you take passengers with you?

    Stingers come in all shapes and sizes. Sucks if they want you to live in a sardine can.

    I was a trainer at another company in the past and am interested in the idea of training again in the future when I get everything figured out, but taking out the passenger seat would kind of kill that. I just would hate to invest in a fridge and then not have any use for it later, but my son might appreciate that.

    If you’re assigned to a pete then there is no chance that you will fit a decent size fridge without taking out the seat.

    Put the fridge on the seat

    or in the sleeper and move it to the seat when you need the bed .

    What would probably be easier than removing the seat is just get a whole new truck
