    I’d definitely ask, they might do it for you and store the seat for you.

    Well, unless you plan on installing the Binford 9000 office a/c, not sure what you have planned. I had a friend hang a 110v a/c out the passenger window when parked. If the seat shakes, you may have driveline/vibration issues, and companies generally don't want the driver touching anything but the controls. 50 drivers will have 50 ways of doing something. You can take a small ratchet strap and secure it to the floor, but I wouldn't bother with it.

    Modifying company equipment should be avoided, and you A/C idea is destined for immediate failure, so just forget about these ill-advised ideas.
    The biggest 'modification' i ever did to company trucks was that I brought my own Hella H4 halogen headlights, and replaced the lousy square sealed-beam units it came with. Took all of 5 minutes each time I got a different unit to drive....

    And how are you going to power this portable ac? You'll end up just running the engine anyways, so there's no real advantages to a portable ac over the provided bunk ac.

    Removing the passenger seat gives a guy room for in-laws, wife, 3 kids, dogs, chickens, E-Bike charger, P P jugs etc.

    If I could swing it, I would put a shower in mine.
