    Mean's the food takes a hardy stomach to eat.

    Depending on what the company think's about inverters, is what you'd be able to have. One of the aux port coolers might work if you are home every weekend. It will have time to "rest". We used one for about 6 months, then the cord melted, replaced it twice. Bought a small "dorm" style refer & wal-mart's replacement plan... used that twice.

    Frozen food needs to be in a freezer to remain frozen. In a cooler iced down, it's basically refrigerated. The ice won't keep it frozen.

    just like all of us when we first started
    newbies worry about all the wrong things
    not their fault just the way it is

    no one even knows what kind of trucking they want to do
    until they understand trucking
