My Experiance with Watkins Shepard!

hey i got a good question for you at since you just went throught fridge shopping, can you see how many watts its using i want to know if i can run one off a cig lighter inverter, if they are only 100-150w, instead of having to have one wired in.
i heard from a driver the ones at lowes are good because all the vibration can kill them but if you have a warranty they will replace it.

im dying i STILL havnt got a fridge and ive been going like 5 or 6 weeks now i lose count haha. i still dont even have a spot for one but im ready to bungee it to the passenger seat if i have to.

NICE PICS!! If you still have the smoke smell in the cab try using Fabreeze-it does work cuz the ex had a truck same as yours and despite using a Bissell cleaner on everything! It still smelled! The Fabreeze really does work!!
You clothes on the top bunk?? Can't you get a collapsable bag ( you know day or overnight bad type) or a big tub with a lid to store your clothes like jean etc? Don't you have a closet with a clothes rod? Not sure about Freightliner was used to Volvo and that had a clothes rod.
Fridge looks roomy now you JUST NEED SOME FOOD to EAT!! LOL!!!!
Love your CB!!

 

You've got the exact same fridge I have. Someone asked about how much power it takes...120 running, and can spike upwards of 160 when it kicks on.

Also, someone said something about white sheets?!? I never had 'em and never heard about a "law" about them. If someone has the FMCSR rule section and number, I'd love to read it to see why we are supposed to have them...

 

My sheets were black and nobody ever said anything to me.

 

Please find and point out in the book where it says your required white sheets... Ive never been pulled in for my black sheets I ran.

 

Thanx for posting all those pics!

 

Rknightpd, pleased to meet you.

I'm attending Katlaw driving School in Austell. They have an A+ BBB rating, and are on Watkins and Shepard's preferred school list. Smaller classes, up-to-date tractors (all sleeper units with 53' trailers), and all the instructors are seasoned veterans.

Read my training thread in the newbie section for more details (Beginning the Long Awaited CDL Process).

 

Why white sheets? Maybe I want blue sheets.

Are they going to start telling me what color shirts to wear next? "Sorry driver, blue shirts are not allowed! 8 points for non-matching apparel".

 

well i wont complain if they enforce a dress code about stained sweatpants and sandals
