Is it possible to live in the truck 24/7?

Lots of guys live in their trucks. It's really not that big of a deal once you reach a certain baseline level of comfort for daily living, which will vary from person to person. It's an interesting exercise in what you really need in day to day life.

 

You can really save a lot of $$$ living in ur truck. But dont get involved with a woman if u plan to save $$$. hehehe

 

I can not remember the name right now, but there is a trucker specific service for getting all your mail, packages etc. You need an address for the company and for your license, IRS and so on...

I have found the truck seat to be the most comfortable of all the cars and trucks I have owned/driven. It has like 14 different adjustments one of which is the air adjustable height.

The only problem with moving the seat high enough to have leg room is now the distance from your shoulders to the steering wheel. Reaching out far to steer can be hard on the arms/shoulders after an 11 hour day.

Some companies will let you use their address to receive mail and such.

 

right now hubby and i live in the truck. we have a residence that we share with his sister, so we pay a minimal amout for rent as we are never there, and have cut our bills to a minimum.
we have what we need to live on the truck. i do most of our cooking so we do have some small appliances that have all been worth their costs. we have an inverter so we can run the tv or our laptops. everything we buy for the truck is a tax deduction, including our movies and ice.
in 5 years we will have saved enough $$$$ to buy a house without a mortgage. there are alot of couples on the road doing the same thing we are.

 

I have been in a Volvo, Cascadia and ProStar.
I am 6'1".

No trouble with any of them as far as seat adjustment.
The steering wheels adjust.

The Volvo seats are not nearly as comfy as the other two. They make my back hurt within a couple hours of driving.
I'm in a brand new Volvo as of today, so I'll see if the seats are any better.

In the Cascadia and ProStar I can stretch out in the bunks with plenty of head and foot room.

The Volvo is another story.
If I have my feet touching one side, I have about 3-4 inches of space for my headroom.
It is also several inches narrower.
It is cramped.

If you are 5 inches longer than me, just make sure you won't have to live in a Volvo.
(Unless it's the 780. They have wider sleepers.)

 

I have a sleep number bed at home. I also slept best when camping and using an air mattress.

So I dumped the 4 inch thick wimpy company issue "mattress" and replaced it with an air mattress.
