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.
