    everything came back good.. except for the fix it ticket I got for cracked windshield in New York in 2006 which company forgot to send in the Repair Order.. hence suspended license.. but the day I got pulled over, we got it straightened out.. license was reinstated same day.. and the other state license I got in Pennsylvania.. but moved back here.. I did not have the number, so I couldnt put it down until I got the information.. Not hiding anything.... just didn't have the information..

    thanks for the replies

    hope to see everyone on the choice program..

    IIRC you are not allowed microwaves in your truck. I've only been driving with Schneider for a month now and that's one of the things I wanted to get but I was given a paper of banned items and a microwave was on the list. If you want an inverter it has to be less than 800 watts. I bought a 600 watt cobra inverter and it works well enough to run my PS4 and that's all I really wanted an inverter for so I'm happy. I got a coleman 12v cooler from walmart for $100. It's much, much cheaper than other coolers of its size, but I don't know how well it will work in the summer time. I've kept milk and veggies in it for more than two weeks no problem. The only problem I've had is that if the truck hasn't run in a while it will shut the cooler off to save the battery so you have to be careful about that.

    I don't know about APU's, but I have a park smart bunk heater. From what I understand most Schneider trucks don't have them, but I was (un)lucky enough to get one. I froze my butt off the first few weeks and tried to get it fixed, but it still doesn't work. From what I understand they can't actually heat or cool your bunk, they just help maintain the temperature, so you have to use the A/C to regulate the temperature in the bunk before you park for the night. IDK though, it doesn't seem to work for me.

    Ban items? I know weapons, pee bottles for sure but what if you just want a microwave plug into nothing? Mine taking a picture of the list?

    I know the Indianapolis shop has a huge copy of it posted right across from the restrooms. I don't think I have a copy of it with me though.

    I'm at home right now and the paper is somewhere in my truck. I'll try to find it and post a picture when I can. I doubt it's really any kind of big deal though. It's not like anybody really gives a #### if you have a microwave in your truck.
