    yeah, the amount of cable one would need, hell, you'd need a trailer just for the cable reels..!!

    bed, 12v plug in, light, maybe a 12v cooler...heck that's all you need. Worry about getting from point A to B in a timely manner without hitting anything...or anyone.

    Some even come equipped with a port-a-potty.


    That is if it wasn't discarded by the previous driver.....:biggrin_2556:

    Now don't be wishing a starter company on him. :biggrin_25523: if I started with a starter company I wouldn't buy a fridge and all that . I think they charge extra to pack them on the Greyhound home.

    you just wont know till you get in your first truck. So just wait and see what you need some trucks have nothing some are loaded nicely. And yes dont buy stuff at the TS wally world has everything cheaper

    Agreed. I think you are jumping ahead of yourself. Get into a truck first, then decide what kind of toys you want to put in it. You don't want to bring a bunch of extra stuff with you while training anyway, because you will be moving it around constantly. Keep it simple to start with, add extras along the way.
     
    MeAndMyTruck Thanks this.

    I hear where some drivers have so many things, toys, stuff etc, that they actually DO NOT haul freight, but haul all thier stuff in that trailer..!!:biggrin_2559:
