    Ya, I would have to agree with most of the other posters. I would say around $100 a week or so. Also depends on your habits. Smoker or dipper will probably be more. Stay away from the DVD's and CD's and entertainment. Minimize your eating out too. That's a big expense! Stock up at Walmart once a week and this will save you tons of money! You can literally buy a case of water for what one bottle cost you at a truck stop! Will be a lot healthier too. Stuff like showers, coffee, ice etc.. are free with your fuel bonus card. You can also build up your points and buy stuff with your card. I believe you can use your points for just about everything except alcohol, tobacco and stuff like that.

    You really want to budget yourself out there. You can blow a lot of money out there if you aren't careful! Especially on your resets and when you are just sitting.
