I still took lots of 34 breaks OTR.
Yes, force is the word. I told her that as soon as I can claim she is crazy and forgetful, I will pack her stuff up and move it. She said "You might drive a big truck but you cant drive any truck, like a rental". Yes Mom, Class A stands for ANY truck.
I told her I will just move her and then convince her she is still in Jersey. The tornadoes and God fearing Christian Republicans are the only real differences. The stores and climates are similar.
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
Packrat, yes and no. She orders everything from QVC and Amazon.... even food from Schwans, so it doesnt matter where she lives. i drive her car more than she does!!!
she has no directional sense whatsoever so i figured i could tell her that her doctor moved and her bank merged with Bank.Of America. she wouldnt know the difference between NJ and MO. she has been in my town for 60 years and has no idea how to get anywhere, including the post office she worked at for 25 years.
If it wasn't for Ancestry's DNA test, i would still be questioning if she is my mother. no directional sense whatsoever.
Rainy I have a sister in Springfield who might consider a border.
But she is a hoarder
So is Rainy. She has told stories about all of the stuff crammed in her truck!

We’re not hoarders! We’re Collectors.
Living in the truck is pretty cool, I could do it and may in fact do it when my dog passes away and I don't have to maintain a place for my grandson to visit any longer.
When I get back to driving, assuming I'm still alive, I plan to carry my bicycle with me affixed behind the cab. That would open up many options for parking the truck and being able to get around short distances to do things. Has anybody tried that? And if I did that, would I officially be driving a 20 wheeler?
I know you can purchase a folding bicycle. Not sure about how big they are or how small they fold down but probably a better option then strapped to the back of the tractor.
If you really want to get a workout and save space, just get a unicycle.
I’m late to the party Bruce, but I too am living out of my truck, going on two years. No storage lockers either. I did purchase a PO box at a post office that is walking distance from our Houston OC. As long as I have a current PO box, they’ll hold packages for me for up to six mos. I have clothes for all seasons on board. I’ve saved a ton of money this way. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask.

Haha, that's very funny. Not my style, though. But you gave me an idea to get a bicycle built for two. Think of the social opportunities that would open up. It would even give me a taste of team driving.

as an avid cyclist I can tell a tandem bicycle will ruin even the best marriages.
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".

That is until she notices the prices are 50% less. That should be an excellent selling point for her.
