Making life OTR comfortable

A bike would be great to have with you! Especially during your reset or time down. Good way to get out of the truck stops to see things!

 

I see a few bikes on the catwalk, I thought if I ever put one up there I'd get a grill cover or something to cover it up... Once I saw a driver with a motorcycle up there, I don't know if maybe he/she just bought it, or they ride it on their restarts..

My list

Laptop - Skype makes all the diffidence while on the road, the video will use up data so use just the audio with a headset, it beats not hearing your loved ones

GPS/ MAPS/ Microsoft Streets and trips

Fridge - like others I HATE t/s food, way tooo expensive, and it sucks

Micro - When not in use I use it for storage, its great for paper plates, cups, etc, also I saw on other threads about the glass plate in the microwave rattling while driving, wrap it up in a beach towel, it will keep it quiet and protect it ...

TV - Most trucks have built in digital antennas, at least you can get most networks, UNLESS your in Tennessee on SUPER BOWL weekend and you cant get FOX !!!!!!

XBox - great for the winter months when it sucks outside

Satellite radio

Ipod or I phone

Mobile Hotspot 10G 80.00 a month from Verizon, decent coverage

Baby wipes - if you can't get a shower, they will at least make you feel better until you can get to one...

Tools - at least a socket set, screw drivers, and wire cutters

Weights or at least running shoes.. Get out of the truck once in awhile ..

Cold Weather stuff, gloves, hats, coats, BOOTS

I keep a small vacuum in the truck, make sure you get a inverter before you use it, they suck a lot of juice..... "Ill be here all week"

I figure I live in the truck while on the road, I want to have as much in there to make me comfy as possible....

 

Good smartphone, netflix, and a 4g connection, fridge, small cheap nukeroven can be handy

Laptop.if you don't have a good android or iphone..

Google earth works on both btw ad they have built in gps..just double check routes with atlas for truck restrictions.
