one of my exes had a dog. i had to take the p/b into the bedroom, and lock the door.
darned dog would suck up peanut butter faster than i ever could, if he got his paws on it....and that ain't no lie.
What to buy ahead of time , like GPS , Telephone Headset and anything else you can think of ?

Here maybe 1 in 1000 trucks has a CB radio in it. I personally have never driven a truck with a CB, and I started trucking in 1985.dennisroc, stwik and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
If its heavy the shoulder straps will be a lifesaver when you arrive to the terminal and cant find your truck because someone moved it. Its a bit of a routine for me. Lol -

Well I guess things have changed a bit in the last 38 years .........
When I went to work driving dinosaurs back in the olden days .
All you really needed was a drivers license , a map , a job , and a load of freight , a couple weeks worth of clothes and a shaving kit .
You don't need to have a full kitchen , a big screen tv , a months worth of clothes , or even a GPS to start trucking .
All you need is the willingness to learn a little common sense your head on a swivel and most of all when you screw the pooch ( and you will) know when to stop before you make things worse .
I am not saying that all that other stuff won't make life a little more like home but is just that stuff and if you this thing right you have the rest of your driving career to get all the extras .
You will learn trucking is a world unlike anything you have ever dreamed of . Welcome to the adventure and good luck .dennisroc and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -

Wherever your new employer tells you to buy fuel, make sure you get a rewards card from that seller such as Pilot/Flying J, T/A or Love's. The points add up quick and can be used for food and especially showers which can get expensive. During your first year, you may find yourself completely broke, and you can use the rewards card to buy meals.
faux_maestro, dennisroc, tscottme and 2 others Thank this. -
I am retiring in December and with that , Social security and savings, I hope I don't find myself completely broke but I am sure it happens with younger drivers just getting in.
Good info, Thanks
