    I'm getting back into driving after being in the Safety Department for another company for several years.

    Last time I started driving I didn't have any time to buy supplies for my truck from the time I was assigned to when I had to take off, so this time I'm buying everything ahead of time.

    I've been hired by Gordon and have not started training yet. What's the biggest t.v., fridge, and microwave that will fit?

    When are the pay days?

    I know I’ll learn these things later, but my OCD is forcing me to plan ahead.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    That depends on the truck and how much room is in it, how big of an inverter you buy, get a tape measure and do the work.

    Well, I'm not thinking I'll have time to measure and go buy things before I have to continue going down the road. I was hoping others with the same truck would have the measurements I was looking for. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

    Bill, I have a 20in.flat screen, full size micro,and a mini black& decker fridge. Tv fits on the the shelf. The rest sits on the floor. My truck doesn't have the upper bunk so can't put stuff on that so it makes it a little cramped.pay days are friday. All paperwork must be turned in by Saturday @ midnight . Best of luck

    Both cutoff dates make sense to me. I was never one to rush that last pack in before the cutoff. I just didn't realize the pay days were weekly; that makes it easier for me to budget. Thanks guys. Bill

    The paperwork doesn't have to be scanned by Sat midnight but you have to be out from under the load (dispatch terminated) by Sat midnight then you have until Monday to get it scanned in.

    That explains why a 2000 mile trip wasn't on a check when I thought it should be... thanks.
