Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

I have my training workbook in front of me along with my laptop as we wait out the chain law declaration on Cabbage. There's this page with tons of blank lines, and a two word safety message to copy down. The anthropologist in me feels compelled to write an essay on the cultural significance of the concept of speed limits and how this is dealt with across multiple societies, backed by accident rates from various countries. But I'm not sure if Central prefers MLA or APA style citations.

 

Hey celtic have you considered being a trainer if I leased thats the route I would go

 

They dont come standard however you can get lucky and get one that has it. Only leased trucks are allowed apus

 

So, assuming I don't get lucky (I probably won't), is there an alternative I could use instead that would not need an APU to run it?
What do you guys do for food if there is no way to keep anything cold? Do you limit your diet to canned food and the occasional warm meal you pay for? I don't see how it could be financially beneficial to eat out everyday.
Thanks for the input, and I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I am just trying to prepare for the lifestyle change.

 

Keeping yourself fed on the road is always a financial problem. Especially if your not allowed to idle.

 

When we were company... We were allowed to have an inverter installed and we ran our small fridge off of that. We now lease and have a larger inverter, so now also have a microwave . Since we are a team, we (hopefully) don't spend much time sitting, so we don't have to worry to much about idling, or it running our batteries down. We also use a crock pot and the Burton oven... Just did a pork roast for dinner tonight and looking forward to left overs for lunch tomorrow

 

yep the grass maybe greener on the other side but thats because theres a leaky sewer running thru that yard.

 

I don't run for Central and I have an inverter but have chosen to not have a refrigerator. Instead I use one of the 12 volt coolers which has done a fine job keeping my food cool. On cool nights I've had to unplug it to keep it from freezing everything. Just stop by a Walmart or grocery store once every week or two to resupply.

Just my .02.

 

Thats a good idea. I wasn't sure if the plug in cooler would keep cold enough. Thank You
