Hate eating out, tips for eating on the road?
Whats in your fridge , what's for dinner when on the road
OK, I'll bite. :)
Walmart makes salads and torpedo style sandwiches. I always have a load of bread, peanut butter and grape jam.
I found this to work: Turn the bunk heater control to like 90°, set an opened can of soup or stew right in front of the vent for about 10 minutes, et bon appétit!
Never would have thought of that

I applied to Prime on 10/29 for school to get my cdl. Does it normally take this long to get a response? I have nothing in my background that would prevent me from driving. I have been studying the training program on this site so should I get my permit from Wisconsin before I go to prime school in Mo?
Call them. 800-224-4585 ext.6624 the recruiters name is Grace

Any homeless Truckers out there?
Odd question I know. I am wondering if anyone does not keep a house or apartment and just keeps traveling.
I will be moving out of my house in a few months and do not have a wife or kids.
To me it would be ideal to just stay on the road. If I had a week waiting for a load or something I would just enjoy the adventure of where I was at (if it was an adventurous place -haha) Or vise versa - if i needed to just keep working for weeks I could do that.
Taking a few days off I could stay in a hotel even upgrading it since I save money with no mortgage.
In my situation I could work for a few years and just save. I have no debt.
Might help the company since I would not really care where I was based out of…or not even having a base. To me it is time to work hard and save for retirement in 20 yrs.
Oddly it sounds perfect to/for me. I am not the type to get lonely (in fact prefer it), I do not mind small places like the sleeper (looks perfect to me). No family to visit at least not for more than a few days a couple times a year.
Store my F350 truck (4 wheeler) and my stuff in my cargo trailer, park it at my relatives farm so no worries about my stuff.
Roll for 10-15 years OTR....or whatever and just save my money
Anyways just a dream I have always had and soon will be free to pursue it.
Of course I would spend a couple of years (my early learning) making sure that is how I want to work.
I do not heard of many guys doing this so I thought I would ask in case I am missing something.
Sounds like a pretty solid plan, if you can handle the small spaces which you said you could. Go for it man, enjoy the adventure.

For my current situation and for a company that covers EVERYTHING accept transportation to the facility plus a job when done. Can't beat it.
Keep me posted when you get there how it is. I read a blog on here from someone who did it and it sounds very encouraging.

I'm heading there very soon pending results of my drug test
I am weighing options whether to go to a private school or try applying to the Roehl CDL training program where you are hired right after your CDL program. Anyone done this and have any advice on how the training was and what Roehl is like as an employer?

Does anyone if there is one what the policy on tattoos are at Prime Inc. I'm about to call my recruiter at Prime and pull the trigger for orientation but I have hand tattoos. Nothing vulgar but obvious. Roehl is after me to join them as well. Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks everyone
