How do you drivers overcome the hindrance of Swift not allowing inverters in trucks?

What in the world did we ever do without all the stuff we carry now and feel we can't live with out

 

i agree...lets all swear off all the unnecessary junk. motorized vehicles of any kind, all packaged food, electricity, heat/ac........

 

Our company trucks come with 1200 watt inverters installed buy the company they just don't. Want us to install one on our own .

 

i dont work for swift (and NEVER will) but all i run is a plug in 300 watt inverter it does everything from charge my laptop to run my printer (at the same time btw) charge my vacuum u name it it does it i live with out a fridge and always eat truckstop food and ur right it is expensive roughly 200 a week im not big as a house im 6'2 athletic build and only 220lbs it all depends on ur metabolism

 

I can tell you as a ex swift mechanic most of us had no idea inverters were banned nor could we care less. If you have a plug in inverter you should be fine. Generally we were much more worried about what kind of diseases we would catch getting into that truck. I've seen everything in a swift truck from month old molding food, to blow up dolls on the bunk. Lol trust me the last thing we care about is how you charge your laptop.
By the way some of the most professional, well kept drivers I have ever known worked for swift. My father being one of them. But also some of the biggest slobs I've known work there.

 

I went from swift which gives you nothing to having a 2000 watt wired inverter and an APU. Night and day. You can make it though.

EDIT - well thats a tough post to follow behind

 

That's funny!

Was she cute?

Did you check her pressure or blow point?

 

Lol she just looked surprised to see me.

 

Oh my stars no inverter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What will I do.The OP sounds like the world is coming to an end because swift does'nt allow inverters.Alot won't allow inverters because they can cause a fire.Walmart does sell 12 volt inverter that works great.You have enough power for laptop,cell and DVD player.Trk stops have 12 volt inverters as well.

 

Oh my stars>reminds me of Grandma!
