    Honda makes some VERY nice gens...right in that size range....very quiet too! Just with a company truck+carrying gas....it is a problem waiting to happen (the fact they are very portable, and very expensive is an theft issue)...and just an inverter and truck bats on a reset, or a truck with poor bats suck...especially if the you have your bosses complaining about idle %'s.
    Most big company's are all about idle reduction....and restarting your truck every few hours to charge the batterys is a fast way to loose your monthly/quartly bonus or "get noticed" and get on the idles too much naughty list!!

    Company rules is you can't keep anything on the back of the truck.

    I am sure the DOT has rules about how to carry gasoline safely.

    BTW Bungies are not acceptable to hold anything on the back of your tractor. Including cargo bars.
