    I'll have an inverter. Have to have a vacuum, can't abide a dirty vehicle.
    Already have a couple of conditional offers lined up.
    I won't deliver to any place that won't let me exercise my freedom of expression to wear the ugliest hard hat I can find!!!

    Ok seriously @BigHeadWeb which companies are you looking at and what school for your CDL. Back down on anything you can reasonably do without on a truck and save money. Your first few weeks will be brutal.

    I reread all your stuff,thats not too bad most are small items.many have quite a bit of what you listed.I would leave the vacuum at home and pick either microwave or portable oven not both.

    That and until you know you're in a truck for 3-6 months it's a PITA to move all your junk around. Personally, one duffel, backpack, bedding, and a box with navigation/tech is about right. Yes, cold weather/rain gear, hard hat/vest, sure, but it adds up quick. I hate having to move to a new truck

    Haha, your photo of a 'Gremlin'... A Mogwai (maug-why) is what you have prior to getting it wet or feeding it after midnight.
