    I have a bunch of books and internet on my phone. I can also quite happily lie in the bunk and stare at the ceiling while listening to music.

    I had all the grand plans to get a tv and PlayStation as I enjoy gaming,but I don't miss either of those.

    To be honest I rarely have the time to even watch tv.

    I have no family that I need to see or needs to see me. I left "home" fully expecting not to be back there for 6 months to a year.

    I wouldn't stay out for a long time even if I didn't have a family. I had my fill of extended time away from home during my twenty years in the Navy. Those that can live in their truck that long can save a lot of money though.
     
    Friend and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    Lots going on there. Just today a lady approached me in the driver's lounge and asked if I was one of her drivers. I told her I don't know if I am as I have no clue who you are.

    Apparently as of this past monday we now have an HR dept and she is the manager of it.

    The owner ops i heard talking about them had no idea why they were on the yard.

    Lots of rumors float about and if one I heard is true those trucks won't get Abilene graphics but that of another company that Abilene supposedly bought or partnered with.

    Whatever you bring you will have to sleep with it on a twin size bed. If you are 5ft tall and 90lbs you can bring a huge bag. If you are larger than the average bear, pack lightly!!
