Should A New Driver Allow No APU/INVERTER to be a Deal Breaker?

If I were a new driver I would say, keep your new truck, keep your refrigerator and APU and ur tvs and satellites and whatever, just give me work and keep me busy and I'll be alright.
If I want to watch TV and relax, I'll come home. I don't want to live out here, I just want to work out here.

 

Werner does NOT allow inverters over plug in 150 watts unless you are on cpap and no APU unless you're million miler or better

 

Yeah I found out Werner, Swift, and most of all the other megas suck. Be optimistic and make the best of it while you're there but they are just too big to care and have many other interests beside driver comfort.

 

OTR Truck drivers don't have 9 to 5 jobs. I think the average time out is around 3 weeks. Regardless of intentions you are living on the road. Take food for instance. I don't know about you but I found it was much cheaper to bring as much food as I could because the prices in the truck stops is horrible, even for things off the shelf. You need to keep some of this stuff cold. I always used a cooler. Pulling reefers I spent a lot of time waiting. I had a laptop and watched a lot of movies or done my paperwork. I also know a lot of drivers that played computer games. Actually most of the time I was reading or asleep. If you choose to not bring comfort items that's your business, but it also don't mean that we who choose to do so are wrong. This is why I think carriers that don't equip their trucks with APUs and inverters are shooting themselves in the foot. I would not drive for one.
