That refrigerator is a driver-supplied option at Prime. Your option to provide the cash to get it. There will be things that are more critical to your success as a driver that come up than sheets, mattress topper, refrigerator. You may want to save your money for a bit, and then prioritize your purchases as you become a bit more familiar with the requirements of an OTR truck driver. It's a little different than the kind of life you're accustomed to.

 

Calm down Music Maker you are getting me overwhelmed. Take one step at a time. Breath in Breath out.

 

at Prime you are gonna spend at least $500 for a fridge including install on a condo truck. No you will not get lucky and have one already installed. Prime is pretty good at uninstalling any fridges left behind on trucks by the owners. They resell those fridges as used.

Only luck you might have is the discount of buying a used fridge from Prime. First come, first serve. They don't operate a waiting list for used fridges. Sometimes its weeks before they get a used fridge. Got to be there at the right time. If not your option is to buy the fridge new.

On LW tractors the detail shop will remove the passenger seat and install brackets for securing things. You can buy any kind of mini fridge from any store and secure it yourself to the brackets where the passenger seat is. Bungees, rope, straps etc.

They will not remove the seat from the condo trucks, so your only installed fridge is a "truck fridge" installed by Prime... or some electric type igloo cooler that plugs in.

 

Normally trucks with APU's come with inverter's and a 1000 watt inverter has to be wired into the battery and they do all that. But chill with all the purchases you don't even have your cdl yet. You will have time for all that when the time comes. Lot's of people start school but not all finish. This is not as easy as it looks my friend. Focus on learning to be a good student and keeping that truck in between the lines. Backing safely, and learning trip planing techniques. I'll tell any student or rookie. Pack light because some of these companies will send you home packing after a small incident. Have a good night and a happy new year.
