    You will have to buy everything you will need. I doubt they will have an inverter in the truck to power a microwave. So you will need a cb, and one of those plugin coolers.

    VTwin, if you want an inverter in a Covenant truck, then you will have to have the Chattanooga shop install it, and then (unless they have changed their rules) it must be 1000 watts or less. And they will charge you $100 bucks to do it, although they never charged a bunch of drivers who had them installed.

    But you don't need to worry about any of that crap, since you will be in a trainer's truck for around a month or more. Then you can spend your money on what you want (I suggest the fridge and sat radio).
