Fall in the U.S. is supposed to mean cool air, changing leaves, and pumpkin spice everything. But if you’ve been out on the road in September, you know—Indian Summer hits hard. Warm afternoons, cool nights, and unpredictable swings can make keeping food fresh on a long haul tricky.
That’s where BODEGACOOLER’s TW75 (76qt) and MCD75D (79qt) come in—portable, truck-friendly fridges and freezers that keep your meals fresh and drinks ice-cold from the first mile to the last.
What’s “Indian Summer” and Why It’s Tough for Truckers
In the U.S., “Indian Summer” is that surprise warm stretch after fall has officially started. You’ll wake up to a crisp 50°F morning, but by lunch, it’s pushing 85°F.
For truckers, that’s a recipe for spoiled food and lukewarm drinks unless you’ve got reliable cold storage riding shotgun.

Why Truck Drivers Rely on Mobile Fridges
A portable fridge in your rig isn’t just about comfort—it’s about:
-
Saving money by skipping overpriced truck stop meals.
-
Eating better with your own groceries.
-
Maximizing drive time without extra food stops.
Plus, nothing beats pulling over at a rest area and grabbing a cold soda or fresh sandwich instead of settling for whatever’s in the vending machine.
Meet the TW75 & MCD75D
Both are built with truck life in mind:
-
TW75 (76qt) – Dual-zone, so you can fridge on one side, freeze on the other.
-
MCD75D (79qt) – Slightly bigger, waterproof (IPX4), and tough enough for wet, rough conditions.
Think of TW75 as your everyday workhorse and MCD75D as the off-road, all-weather version.
