Hello everyone,
I've been looking for a way to store cold food aboard my truck since eating out of truck stops is unhealthy and expensive, which means I've barely eaten at all on the road. I read somewhere that all sleeper trucks built after november 2015 will have an inverter. However mine is a 2017 model and i don't think i have one. I've looked everywhere for it. Luggage compartments, in the storage areas, you name it. If it does have an inverter i haven't been able to find it. And obviously i can't by my own inverter because A. against company policy B. too expensive and C. i don't have the knowledge to put one in even if i wanted to. So as a result I've pretty much been going to bed hungry every night because i refuse to eat fast food or those microwave foods at truck stops, and there's only so many peanut butter sandwiches i can eat in a week without getting sick. Hopefully I'll get a newer truck before too long. Idk how long Schneider runs their trucks for before getting rid of them but mine has almost 720,000 miles on it. Any suggestions on how to keep cold food in the truck will be welcomed.

I have a 12V cooler that I never plug in. I use a bag of ice. 10 pounds is good for about 2 days. Will keep milk. It's good for stuff brought from home for about 5 to 7 days, as long as you have ice.
It keeps my cats insulin chilled.Speed_Drums Thanks this. -
I love Schneider.

Those 12v thermoelectrics are okay, but get this if you need REAL cooling

Its a 12v cigarette lighter plug in that can keep things frozen over a 90 degree day and a half without killing the battery in my pickup with the windows up. -
Another option i use is freeze dried. I have an achohol stove, a moderate sized camp pot and an old russian canteen kit that along with a small flat chunk of rock i use to boil water and make decent meals. Stays fresh forever and if you buy the big food storage cans you can get your meal cost down to around $4 a meal. Still a tad high but way cheaper then the $10-15 of a truckstop meal.
