Company Selection Completed

Sorry to hear about the "unavoidable," but good luck on Monday!

Sorry about that unavoidable to. But as far as being bored with your stories, I doubt it. If you ever have time, please share.

Hanging out at the hotel, waiting for tomorrow. Some things I have found that maybe worth while... Some I already have some I have down on a pad to purchase.

The biggest thing is, $100 in CASH to cover stupid expenses like Scales, oil, washer fluid, etc.

Unlimited Verizon 4G LTE - A bit pricey at $185 / mo but so worth it if you stream as much as I do. Amazon Prime - Amazon Music Commercial Free Radio Stations + Movie Streaming + free 2 day shipping Netflix - Movie Streaming 2,000 WATT power inverter, need to power my laptop, charge my devices, and power other items. The truck has this load shedding feature that causes all the 12v ports to shut down. Quite annoying especially when fumbling around in the dark. A small AC Light as the truck shuts off the in cab lights when it load sheds. All in One (AIO) Printer, I have been to truck stops that had a broken transflo system and we had to travel truck stop to truck stop looking for a working transflo, my trainer was getting annoyed as it was coming close to being due. I know they have an app on the phone but I like to print out the confirmation and staple it to my paperwork and I like the idea of having a PDF saved in-case there is an issue. Also, if you end up in an accident in some states you have to print out a form that needs to be filled out in a timely manor. I am almost 20 days past the date of the accident and have yet to get the file printed. I really need a printer YESTERDAY. CB Radio (Driving gets boring need some form of entertainment) Trucker GPS that doubles as an Android Tablet so that I can listen to my Amazon Streaming while I am driving. (My other tablet can be mounted above my bunk and I can use it to just watch movies.) Some sort of external stereo speaker system for the tablet as the sound can not be heard over the damned refer. Mini-Fridge - eating at truck stops is expensive Crockpot - eating at truck stops is expensive A 2 qt pitcher that boils water - eating at truck stops is EXPENSIVE - eating Chef Boyardee straight out of the can SUCKS Rubber Mop - Gotta have a clean truck Those Multipurpose Cleaning Wipes - Gotta have a clean truck Dish Soap - Gotta have a clean truck Floor Cleaner - Gotta have a clean truck PAPER TOWELS - Gotta have a clean truck Windex - Gotta have a clean truck One of them bluetooth headsets, so much better than those earbuds. They also have noise cancellation on the mic that helps reduce the road noise. A Windows Phone eventually it's actually at the bottom of my list as my flip phone does it's job.

I may find some other things, but it's still a pretty big list and it's close to $1,000 in additional expenditures I didn't anticipate before I started to drive. For instance, I have an AIO printer sitting in storage, I would have brought that with me, but I won't be home for at least another month and I don't want to be penalized by MA because I didn't fax in that paperwork. I found some at walmart for $70, it won't do for pictures or professional quality prints but it will do for black and white fast draft prints and scanning transflos. :)

Is that power inverter something you can install yourself?

Actually, ALL the trucks have inverters and if they go bad the shop replaces them. The recruiter and the safety supervisor in GA told me that if I purchase an inverter the shop will install it for me no problem.
