Packing the truck for the first time

@DsquareD , spot-on with the cargo pants, and YES they fit well with the Carhartt's! The wallet issue in the Levi's and/or the Dickie's pants caused me severe back issues; still have tendons and ligaments under my right iliac crest that are almost impossible for the chiro's to fix, and no meds for us drivers!
That's some great info, that I should've beat him to giving. I've suffered from wallet-butt/back syndrome for many years. Finally got wise.
No TEA, no Levi's.

ps: when wife rides; she puts her long curly locks up in a big-ole clip, lest I choose to open windows, no tangles. Then, a bandana over the top of that. It looks kinda cute, actually. Minimizes her tangles. We both have extremely curly hair; she trims mine "as needed" (it's all grey anyway, so . . . LoL)

Also as @Lepton1 said, a great set of clippers, be it at home or OTR, are a must. Wife bought "me" one for Xmas with all the attachments, and even though "she" does the work, MAN they've already paid for themselves! Best $100 bucks she's spent in a LONG time!!!!! (it's got every attachment~ ear, nose, eyebrows (wtf?) )

 

^^^ Cargo's DO ride well under Carhartt's in the winter, too! NO BACK POCKETS, y'all! Take it from a stubborn ole' guy. Wife told me; didn't listen. Tell your HUBBY too!!!!!!!!! 3000 in chiro bills later . . . . . grr

 

Another thing to consider for your husband. Pants that are too tight (while driving, not the same as standing) can reek havock on certain man parts. Duluth pants have an extra gusset in this important area.

There are other pants manufacturers who use the same technology with phrases like "diamond crotch" or something like that. Anyway, he may not notice any problems right away, especially if he is young. However, if you want to keep him in good shape into his older years then a little prevention now will be much appreciated later.

I don't have anything to do with Duluth and if I could get something else for less money I would. I get them when they have their 20% off sales. So if anyone else has other suggestions I'd like to know.

 

^^^ true, D ~ those crotch-munchers are like tubal ligation to a woman, i've heard. Always get ANY and all mine baggy; another great Duluth product. Comfy.

 

^^ wife's is mid back; a clippy thing and a bandana and a squirt bottle of water with a little aussie something leave in stuff; and good to go!! You'll be fine! She is /was! Keep us posted; my wife's a CDL holder too; just haven't jumped into teaming *yet if ever lol* . . .

 

She CAN drive, almost as good as @pattyj .. she's doing bus subbing now, but my boss has mentored her, and . . . i still want to keep her at home. I'm the wrench in this monkey LoL. Seriously, when we go together, she's up that catwalk quicker than ykw, and does it all. I kick back and read a book. She's the pre-trip guru. Women are fine-tuned to the stuff we guys take for granted, i know. God love her.
Teams? . . It's a maybe. Kids are 16 and 13 ~ band, soccer, academics, = recipe for idk. We have fun when we DO run. Ever read any of @blairandgretchen posts? or @miss elvee ? Some darn good H/W teams on here.
I wish you the best.
(Maybe I'll go pick up Patty to run with me so the wife can stay home and skin the bucks, fillet the fish, and split wood?!?!?)
