    I have found some really good mini fridges online but you pretty much need a APU for that. Is there anything that will work to keep those powered besides the truck itself or APU?

    Sounds great thanks. Are those the go to boots for a trucker? Are there any other stores or brands that are good quality too? Thanks.

    i would think most of us have the gps, fridge, mattress, blue tooth and cb we want. And you wont know which of these items the winner has. If you gave me a gps id sell on ebay cuz i like the one i have. I like the idea of free stuff they regularly buy. Blue beacon gift cards, 6 months free sat....those kind of things are the best imo. You cant go wrong with ta petro giftcard......id say subway is no good since many truck stop subways dont accept subway gift cards. Sungas hut isnt a bad idea....id go get a nice pair, but i do norm buy the cheap ones becuase i loose them or break them pretty quick. if free, id buy a nice pair though. If you have flatbedders, refelctive winter coats are always a great item. Any apparal with company logo is good for smaller prizes.

    Redwign is a very good brand I know many guys that will wear nothing but them.
    Cash cash cash (Well prepaid visa) is the best for an O\O

    About the only thing I've read here that either I or Hubby would use are the boots. A gift card to Redwing or some sort of work boot store would be nice. But, neither of us wear sunglasses, we've already got GPS, CB, etc. We even have a larger than mini Refrigerator.

    But a $200-$300 Visa gift card? Heck yeah! I'd love one of those! :)
