Good driving skills...LOL
luvtheroad and Shaggy Thank this. -
Depends on who you drive for. It could range from bedding and clothes to possibly needing 6 months worth of food to avoid giving bj's for sandwich money.
I would bring 7-10 days worth of clothes. 5 days worth of food. Drinks. A cooler if not equipped with a fridge. A CB and satellite Radio!!! I always like to keep a few hundred bucks on me.
Don't forget to have the ability to cook if you can swing it. Inverters can be expensive at first but will pay for themselves when you can buy regular appliances to cook cheaper meals. -
Crotts Trucking Thanks this.

1) Truckers atlas, (not a 4 wheelers road map,) has good information on restricted routes, weight limits, and such, something you can always use
2) Blanket, pillow, and a change of underware, don't forget clean socks. Wouldn't want your mother getting mad at us for not keeping you clean.
3) Now all you need is your fuel card, and a dispatch to get home with.
Good luck and Be Safe! -

It's the little things you'll miss. Shower shoes are a must, bring your own tunes unless you like country music, because most of the midwest that's all you get on the radio. Baby wipes and Clorox Wipes.
OMG! Are you inferring that truckers are gay?!?
Cause they aren't.
They are manly men and would stalk and wrassle a deer to the ground and field dress it with a Swiss Army knife before doing what you said.
