Winter Parking - Electric Plug Required?
Hi - this is my first posting. My husband is a newbie. He just got his CDL and will probably sign with Schneider, as we thought they had the most opportunities for us, since we plan on moving soon. However, we're in Connecticut now, and both Schneider & Roehl told us they want their truck plugged in during the winter. When they say plugged in, they are talking about electricity. We live in an apartment complex which won't even allow the truck (hitch) to be parked. We did find a lot with other Schneider trucks, but none of them are plugged in and have no plans of plugging in for the winter.
This situation concerns us, as Schneider has put this in writing that this is the procedure (plugging in the trucks in the Winter). We live about 150 miles from the nearest Schneider service center, and about 20 miles from a Travel America, but even at Travel America, I haven't seen any electrical outlets with the truck.
If anyone knows how we can handle it, it would be greatly appreciated. We don't want to commit with Schneider (or Roehl) if it means we are agreeing to plug in the truck.
If anybody has any other suggestions, as to where to park it (during the winter), that would also help. We live in Hartford metro area of Connecticut.
Thanks
