    I've never had a problem with a plug-in inverter, even when in the shop.
    It allows me to run my computer and charge other devices.
    I also have 12V things like the Coleman cooler, a lunchbox oven...
    I may not have a microwave in my truck, but I can still cook good meals.

    If you try to hook up a more powerful inverter directly to the batteries, the risk is on you.

    I managed to get through two or three "sentences" before my eyes started to bleed.

    Your obvious disregard for the English language leads us to disregard whatever it was that you were attempting to say.

    FYI, in the year that I've been driving for Swift, I've had exactly ONE "driver unload" trip.

    Also, "no touch" does NOT mean the same thing as "drop and hook". "Live load" is also "no touch", as long as you aren't the one actually doing the loading.

    I hope that nobody tries to run a 2000W inverter with #8 cable. Heck, a 300W inverter would be pushing it.

    Yes.

    In over 3 years I've had 2 actual 'driver unload' loads. Both were very easy - pushing out light items to the back of the trailer.
    Some, like tires, are not so easy. But they are few and far between.
    The last load of tires that said 'driver unload' that I got wasn't even a driver unload. They did it, without even a lumper fee.

    There are a few loads that I have had to watch being loaded, and count what went in.
    But even those are still 'no touch' loads.


    I know some people have had very bad experiences with Swift.
    But I think that they are also the exceptions to the rule - especially if it wasn't of their own making in the first place.
