Urgent question for all helpful truckers..

I always need a good laugh, THX

 

Like a lot of others have said, I try and run on $100 a week. That includes groceries, a few meals out etc. It is a little higher if I know I will need cash for toll roads. But with a fridge in the truck I usually spend 50 at walmart and then have 50 in spending money for the week.

 

You're all making it sound like that's a daily expense, and he's throwing money at everything he sees. In a month with thirty days, with weekends home, that's twenty two days. If you divide that 741.99 by 22, you get $33.73, so if you only eat 2 meals/day, that's $16.86 each. That doesn't look to me like there's a great deal left to waste on extras. You guys gotta quit watching those old trucking movies, where they get a coffee for two-bits, and a meal for two bucks.

 

I think Shelly is really being a good sport about you guys BS.

I commend her for her superb sense of humor.

 

she ain't hard to look at neither....if I had that at home I wouldn't get caught with a bra strap in my bunk....LOL.

 

It it really depends on what he's buying! Does he smoke? Does he buy cigs on the road? Movies? Soda? Snacks? Does he eat cheap or expensive?? Get receipts for tax records. It's possible to spend that much.
