    I live out of my company truck full time while I'm up North.

    I just use the companys address for my mail.

    I do my resets at the petropass or somewhere in town near the casino.

    I don't have a cooler yet or a hotplate so I've been doing a lot of eating out. It's expensive.

    I'm saving a lot on rent and what not, but I have to say once in awhile I do grab a hotel just so I can get drunk without worrying about a DUI. Haha.

    Aside from that, one of my biggest tips is to go to the dollar store or walmart and buy some of those cheap shag mats to put down all over the floor. It makes it a little more cozy and feel more like "home."

    Scented soy based candles will make your truck smell nice all the time and again, feel more like a home.

    Each his own I guess. I could never do that. I'd be lucky to survive 5 nights in a row in a truck. I have an apartment and hate it. I need a yard and a garage lol.

    LaQuinta hotels in the states allow dogs. Joining a (preferably 24 hr) gym nearby, gets you a swim and shower.

    I don’t know about you guys but I work as much as I can when at work. Who has time to be driving to and from work not getting paid.

    Wake up and go straight to work = more sleep

    Animals don't have a place in a truck period , but you will no doubt save a tonne of money and be Able to buy a place of your own try and get a motel room from time to time just so you get out of the truck
