Hello all.
It's been about 7 years since my last post. I left trucking for greener pastures and family life but through a long story, I need to return to the highways.
Luckily, I'm still qualified to come aboard with US Xpress as an experienced driver. I previously worked for Swift in 2013 and they didn't allow inverters or APUs. But I'm told by the recruiter at USX that they have inverters pre-installed on the truck.
Is this true? What wattage are they? Are they pure sine wave?
I'm eager to know if I can run a 700 watt microwave and a true, dual-zone fridge-freezer utilizing a compressor rather than thermoelectric Pelletiers. Ideally, I'd like one that fits in the cubby hole on a Cascadia (since that's what I'm told I'll be driving). Also, I'd much prefer if it was one that was upright like a normal fridge rather than a chest cooler where the door opens up. My end goal is to cook a bunch of food during my home time and freeze it (at home) so that I can just warm it up in my microwave. Healthier and cheaper... I'll be two weeks out at a time.
Taking suggestions for equipment that meets my wish list and any other general advice. Bonus points will be given to current USX drivers who respond. Haha

I run a dometic on 12v lighter plug, it’s a fridge/freezer combo and does a fine good job. Best in the market. Will keep things frozen and run for about 2 days when I’m not near my truck for my home time.
Truck still starts after 2 days.
As far as microwave your going to need an inverter for sure.tech10171968 Thanks this. -
