Prepping For The Road

It's expensive! Went to Wally World to simply get a "toiletry bag" ended up spending over $100. Got an empty bag, disposable razors (cheapies), travel size hand sanitizer, toothbrush case, toothpaste, body wash, loofah, soap, shave cream, 3 towels, some socks, hair gel, nail clippers.

I splurged on a blue tooth headset (marked $30, but on Wal-Mart.com for $15.98...price matched!) and a cheap $15 watch.

Thankfully my wife got some "laundry pods" a few weeks ago...premeasured detergent packs you just toss in. Nifty.

Spent another few bucks on a tactical duffle bag @ an Army/Navy outlet...it's awesome. Made of canvas, waterproof bottom & zips open along the side... has optional backpack straps for carrying.

I'm not even on the road yet & going broke. Haha.

Ready to see some $$$ rolling in so I can blow more dough on a 12v fridge & CB when I upgrade. Gotta get that XM subscription too, LOL...still need to snag a 12v phone charger.

I have a few $10 rolls of quarters saved up for laundry...Who knew being a trucker was so expensive?

A loofah??? and you want to be a truckdriver

Shaving!! don't you know that truckers don't shave, nah just saying, I was in the military for 12 years and had to shave almost everyday, not most weekends, but now that I'm out I shave maybe once every two weeks, anywho yes it can be expensive to be a trucker, got bless Walmart for their prices.....out

Hell yeah. Who's got time to wash a rag every shower? Rinse the loofah off, shake it out & repeat...plus the lather. Rags can't compete.

Fact: Real men use Loofah's.

LOL! I personally can't stand shaving. My upper lip has only come in contact with direct sunlight maybe three or four times in my entire life. Heck, I've had a full beard since I was 14 years old. LOL!

Charlie, you're ready to roll! (Don't tell anybody, but I use a "pouf" ball - $2 at WM pour le shower.)

Got your gloves? Handy tool: Vice Grips™. BTW, many truck stop laundries accept credit/ debit cards now.

Save your Truck Stop loyalty points. It took a year, but I recently got my toys: CB, BT headset and drive cam. No money out of my pocket!

I hadn't worn a watch for a few years but I got one before going out too! It's one of the best things to have out here since it doesn't change time zones like your phone does.

That's the same thing I got LOL. $2 pouf. I got some sweet gloves from Harbor Frieght. Shades, have to look into some Vice-Grips...thanks for the tip!

Something to take note of (with regards to TIME ZONES). Your LOGS (E-Log or Paper) operate on the time zome of your HOME TERMINAL - but pickup/delivery appointments run on the time zone of the destination.

Something to consider when trip planning - especially if you run your clocks tight.

I run an iWatch - so it changes time zones when the phone switches.

I was warned in logging class about this very thing. Made sure to get a watch with multiple time-zone settings. 1 for hometime, and another for terminal time.

My phone (should) change based off of location.

Quick question...does the qualcom run on home terminal time or location?
