    This is my main one. Refrig/freezer or remove the divider and can be all refrig or all freezer. Lots of room. We came back from Oregon at Christmas with 40 Dungeness crabs in it.

    Setpower AJ40 Portable Refrigerator Portable Freezer 42 Quart Electric Cooler Car Refrigerator 12/24V DC Cable & 110/240V AC Car Fridge for Camping,Truck,Travel,SUV,Van,RV

    Search this one if it's more in your range. They run different sizes, so definitely look at the dimensions. I was able to have mine strapped down behind the passenger seat so I didn't lose much space. It's honestly been pretty abused over the past 2 years and works flawlessly

    That's a decent price, how were you able to straps it behind the passenger seat? You have a Perterbilt 579 too right, there’s no room back there.

    I bought an Apicool C-30 to supplement my Peterbilt fridge when I began cooking on a Foreman Grill. It has a compressor and will run off 12V lighter socket or 110 wall outlet. It will go to minus 4 degrees as a freezer. I use it for a meat freezer. You could also use it for a fridge, though. $250ish on Amazon a few years ago. It will fit on a top bunk in a 579 with the bunk folded up. It will also fit under the bunk.

    Hood River, Oregon
    Oxnard, California
    Salem, Oregon
    Syracuse, New York

    Those are some “get a Cat scale ticket” before and after places I’ve been to that come to mind. Definitely remember Hood River, Oregon because it’s 30+ miles back to the Pilot in Biggs Junction if you show up without one. I would keep notes in your phone or in a notebook of various gate codes, door codes, scale house phone numbers, etc as you make your rounds at different customers. It will come in handy if you show up somewhere you haven’t been to in six months.

    Nice, so you pull the seat all the way forward, I honestly thought you guys only use that small *ss fridge that comes with the truck, I'm like how do you guys do all that time on the road with it lol, didn't think about portable fridge.

    my personal opinion when it comes to winter excluding Wyoming because you have the Volvo mafia crowd that screws that state up a lot of the times I would rather deal with the snow weather out west before I deal with it in areas like Pennsylvania to be honest and when you get out west, you’ll see what I’m talking about. you’ll understand it more
