    I spent years putting together my list of things for my truck, I had everything thats in my truck now when I got to orientation except the fridge and the inverter.

    I spent quite a few years on here (before I joined) and on other trucking forums learning about what I need, as well as my dad being a driver he had a few tips, I also lived WAY out in the sticks of VT and I know what you need to have with you so you don't die on the side of the road somewhere, I also spent 5 years in the USAF Auxiliary doing Search and Rescue and of course a little common sense will also go a long way! lol

    If you think im set up now....:biggrin_2559: just wait till I get me some $$ and get rid of my apartment.....then I'll be SET!:biggrin_255:lol


    I'm still trying to decide what color shag carpet to get....:biggrin_2559:

    No one can keep up with you, AT. You could even mount a video projector on the roof of the cab over the dash so you can blast a big picture on the back wall of the sleeper unit. Then all you have to do is to modify an office chair to fit between the seats on that Columbia, put your feet up on the bed and catch a movie in style. Surround sound w/ a sub woofer and you could blow the roof off. :biggrin_25526:

    Don't forget the microwave popcorn. :biggrin_255:
