Anyway NatureGirl22..I just poked my head in here (the forum) and see in the 'Questions From New Drivers' section there is a thread called "Cooking In The Truck" and it's over 200 pages long..It that doesn't give you any ideas..
LOL...Nothing, really! We just bought a house, though, and we're not putting any money away. We're living paycheck to paycheck, and we have some big repairs that we need to make on this place. Insurance company is having a fit about it. Let's face it: our emergency fund is dwindling, and we'd be in serious trouble right now if something happened to either of us. We're looking at the future and wanting to be in a more secure state. What's funny is that I didn't drive him out....no pun intended. Actually, I will be riding with him in the truck.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it, and will be reading it and doing my homework while my housemate is in orientation. Should be incredibly useful...he's already whining about not getting my homemade bread as often as he has in the past....LOL
Thanks. I know we will, at least, have a small coffeepot. He can't go without his coffee at all, and I will be running water for my tea. I really don't know much else, though. I am told to pack fresh fruits and veggies, since they're harder to get while on the road. Truth?
Yeah..or if their at a TruckStop you will learn what price gouging really is. Most Wal-Marts allow Truck parking though.
You should go with a company that has Tri-Pac APU's. A couple are Holland Enterprises and Melton Truck Lines. Traveling together, cooking in the truck, television, computer; you need plenty of power. With the Tri-Pac APU you won't run the trucks batteries down.
We ended up going with Boyd Brothers. Our adventure has begun! My housemate is in his first day of company orientation today. I am hanging out at the hotel room they gave us, studying up on Qualcomms and electronic stuff. I'm also checking out CB's online, pricing them just in case we don't have one already in the rig.
Good to hear. Suggest a cobra 29 as a starter radio they hold up better than most other inexpensive radios.
Then again, we didn't get to go with Boyd Brothers. If you want the whole sordid story, check out my post in the bad trucking company forum. It was very disappointing, and we are now struggling to find another company that will take us on....
