Congrats Jeff and you'll be surprised, you're going to go to some places where during your 34 reset, you're gonna ask where the best local cajun / seafood / steakhouse etc. is at and treat yourself on occasion. Or get a Volvo which has a pretty nice fold down table/ work station.

Going to orientation for a dry van company in a few days, packing my lightest, and preparing my bags, laptop ect. for when I am assigned a truck and I can come by and get them. It is really settling in that I will be out at least three weeks at a time and in my case hopefully more. I can not even imagine if I had a wife or children to answer to, there would be no way I would even try to balance that. For me it is the perfect set up, so I hope I can accomplish my goal and be in a steady pace here in a few months. I am about to go full time truck driver in order to stay focused so that I can make my company and myself money. No regular beds, showers and tables to eat at. I will be living out of a bag , showering at truck stops and eating without a table in front of me(not a restaurant type). What is crazy is that I love the Idea, I cannot wait. I want this more than I have wanted anything in a long time. This is not just going out and getting a job, this is a life change. Over the road is for me. I get to do something for me.

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.
