    do you remeber the last time you had to outfit your truck ie coolers and such and what the appox amount of coin you shelled out?

    And whats on average the weekly cost to eat, laundry and such while on the road now adays (No resturants, truck stops) looking for wally world prices mainly

    Oops three part, how many of you smokers are now making your own?, I have been doing this for almost 5 years now thed cost is about 92 cents a pack after you buy the injector ($49.99) pound of tabbaco and tubes.

    If your a smoker it's a great investment to save ya ALOT of money

    17" laptop gps maps dvd ect. $1400.00

    eating out about $150 a week (only did this two weeks w/ trainer).

    eating out of the cooler which was better food and when you wanted it $30 a week.

    C.B. weather radio $159 on sale I-80 truck stop. (like lap-tops its whatever you can afford or want):biggrin_25523:

    log book cover $20 another $20 for pens and accordian files.

    Of the $2,000 I spent all togather, $1800.00 was for stuff I wanted not had to have.

    you wearing $2.00 gloves or $35.00 vittalli pig skins ????

    Most I would think spent for the have to haves a few hundred, then spend the rest in increments.

    Don't get me wrong on the 2k I spent, probably more than some but not near what a few have spent. Almost no ceiling. I never did the xm radio subscription but its on the list... :)
