    No thanks. Nearly 4 years trucking and I've already gone thru 3 of them. Price isn't very competitive either. I think Walmart is same or cheaper. Truckstop is a little bit more, but that might cover the wait and shipping for us non prime account holders.

    Like where you. Mounted the microwave to save space. And see you have a ps3 do you ever have any problems with it messing up from. Bouncing around in the truck? Also where do you store it when driving?


    Gatorbait sounds like your eating good!!

    SPRIMO.

    Cant really give you an idea about wait time for an appointment at the detail shop.

    I was killing two birds, inquiring about the mount and notifying them that they missed some key cleaning areas when they turnaround my truck from the last driver. They put me in a bay within 30 minutes and had the whole thing done in less time than I took to get lunch at the Grille.

    It worked awesome, Came across the PA mountains and it didn't move a bit. You gotta use ratchet straps though, Can't use pull straps:biggrin_255:

    it is not just the eating well. I am trying to spend as little as possible on road. I bought 6 bottles of diet dew for 3 bucks at wal mart 2.59 for two at ts. I did buy a hormel microwave roast which was a little pricy but for a quik meal was still 5 bucks for a dinner . I just wanted to share that eating in truck can be a huge part of thebusiness plan. I mean if I save .15 cents on fuel thats 15 bucks every 700 miles. At 500 miles a day thats 15 bucks every 1.5 days. or 10 bucks a day. 300 bucks a month. If I save 10 bucks a day cooking in the truck thats double.

    If you drive 300 days a year every 10 dollars a day you save is 3000 bucks. makes the expense of a fridge seem less expensive.

    90% of my eating is in the truck, I bought a 10.00 coffee pot at walmart and it saves me 20.00 to 30.00 a week just in coffee:biggrin_25512:
