Gadgets To Bring Onto A Truck
Topic 17140 | Page 4
Reaper...I think the point most of the forum is attempting to make; your focus seems to be on everything but preparing yourself to get your permit and study as much as you can before your start date with Prime.
Experience has repeatedly taught us that focusing on what is truly important typically marks the difference between those who succeed at this, and many times those that don't. Focus on what really matters, the "meat" of it, not the gingerbread.
Maybe you are doing all the right things to prepare for this like studying the High Road Training Program and Becoming A Truck Driver: The Raw Truth About Truck Driving. I don't really know...I hope you are.
Worrying about all of the stuff you are going to cram into your truck seems premature and possibly wasting valuable energy. Not that you asked, but offering sound advice.
Good luck.

Oh don't worry about the lack of studying I've been taking full advantage of the high road training. Been doing 2 hours per day of studying with it. I want to be at the point of walking database of cdl license info when I get on the hound.

We've both lived in small rv, our current apartment is a studio apartment that could probably fit in the back of a class b box truck. We've got experiance with small areas, granted not tractor small. Also she understands I need to have things a particular way due to my very mild case of aspbergers. I checked the griddle it is lower wattage than the inverter also it has a cover so it might be decent to cook, I'll see what I can find for cooking. Maybe I'll bring a microwave and leave the griddle. Gotta do some storage locker juggling lol that's where all of our stuff will be going while we are on the road.
