    Depends on your trainer, and how much space they allot you. If I were a trainer, I'd be terrible in that regard - I like my space, and I like to use it. Some may be more frugal in space management.
    How you eat on the road, again, same story. You should ask for a number to contact your trainer, and try to touch base before you go on that truck.

    It's a gamble. There are some real Pigpen (referring to the Peanuts character) sorts out there, and there are those who take pride in what they do. I sincerely hope you get the latter.
    Best of luck to you out there, and good on for you for going the flatbed route.

    A good rule to go by if it will fit on your bunk with you in it. Then you have room for it.
