Safety Guidelines for Cooking in Your Cab

When considering cooking equipment and small appliances, it's important to understand their power draw. You also want to ensure the appliances are not draining your battery. Remember to utilize your idle management system to keep your batteries charged and keep safety top of mind when using your appliances. Make sure they are plugged in correctly, used appropriately, and never left unattended while in use.

Flammable Devices

You may not carry flammable devices (devices capable of being easily ignited or burning quickly) for the purpose of cooking, heating or entertainment.

Restrictions

  • May not be used in the cab
  • May not be carried on the tractor
  • May not be stored in the cab of the tractor

Not allowed

  • Propane
  • Butane bottles
  • Open-flame stoves and heaters
  • Fireworks (of any kind)

Power Inverters

A small inverter (not to exceed 150 watts) that plugs into a 12-volt power port may be used. A driver with specific medical needs may use an inverter in excess of 150 watts but no more than 400 watts only after obtaining approval from the company.
