No inverters in Crete trucks?

I'll say this. I worked for Schneider where they didn't allow any inverter bigger than I think 150 watts. Now I work for a company that installed a 2,000 watt inverter for me for free, so I now have a microwave and soon a fridge. Having seen both sides, I would never go back to a company that didn't allow them. Having your shop install one, even for a fee is a small thing that adds up to big savings in driver comfort. The no inverter policy is one of those rules issued by people in an office who have no idea what life is like on the road.

 

But I might add that I have met quite a few Crete drivers and they are for the most part a happy and professional bunch. If i was ever going to drive van again, not very likely, I would look hard at them, if they allowed inverters, lol. But for a first company they are hard to beat, just my two cents.

 

Dont worry about inverters.. get your 1 year experience in then find a job with a good company and get away from the big companies.

 

Don't worry about invertors ? Your going to be living in that truck for several weeks at a time. If your going to sacrifice so many things we take for granted then enjoy some creature comforts.

While we're at it.....let's have these companies take out the sleeper, a/c, bunk heater,apu, never be able to idle, etc.

 

Zero experience = $500
4-11 months experience = $600

 

I'm on Shaffer and a reefer isn't a big deal, is it worth an extra penny... no.
Supposedly longer runs with reefer than on the Crete side.
