    No shippers just company terminals. So hoping to do laundry and shower while I am there when possible to save the most time.

    I hope to never experience that grumbling thing... That's why I eat the food I eat. I hope I can sustain this for long term. Going to be with my husband so hopefully he will be nice to me and let me use a bathroom. :)

    Great minds! We are doing this with our clothes for sure... The bins are stuffed with socks and those things. With the clothes in the duffles. This way I can use the closet from top to bottom.

    I will have to post photos later, when the truck is packed and not just the stuff packed in my living room.

    During the short time my wife was on the truck I always let her use the bathroom. I had a large Tupperware labeled "BATHROOM".

    Your wife sounds awesome! I plan to sleep and get 8 hours solid sleep at a time so that's when he would be making the decision to stop for himself. Then I will be making my decisions to stop for myself when I am driving. Hahahahahaha

    Can't wait to hear he rebuttals on this "dream scenario"

    sliced deli turkey is a great way to keep thin and stave off hunger. I go with 4 slices and maybe a piece of swiss cheese. don't eat the pizza at loves and avoid sugar

    Thanks for this advice! We have some ham and are ready to eat that too...

    That loves pizza looks suspect! I wish I didn't LOVE sugar... This is definitely going to be a problem... I packed some stevia and hope to add it to ice tea at the exact moment I get sick of water.

    Also, instant grape kool aid mix on board for sugar emergencies.

    Get a box of those throwaway surgical gloves. Good for fueling up.

    Some "food for thought" (pun intended):
