Thanks! I appreciate it. The Dustbuster stays in arms reach because I use it everyday LOL. The fan is nice and keeps me from running the truck until it’s over 75 outside. The purifier helps a lot with the dust. I’m not having to clean the dash as much.

Paper mills aren’t known for being dust free. More like dirt devils. So the pedal area does stay dirty most times.

Idk I found those New Balance years ago and they’ve served me very well. I need to clean them. They’ll probably give me 2 more years. Very comfortable to. On sale for $40 at the time

Well, shut MY face! TYSM, CM Five Niner~!

I'll sure take that with a HUGE thank you! Wow, just .. wow. NICE! Very ! Like anyone could see gunk in the door jamb??! NOPE! My home one is way worse, haha!

That fan. Our son has the same one. Pretty awesome, isn't it?

Want to trade some TP and/or PT for some SMUCKERS ?!??! (How much jelly/jam can one household eat ?!?!?) Tom's hung up there, trying to finish 3rd run, to be off tmrw... NO JOKE!

Thanks, man. Really really nice. I'm still 'wow' ing!

ps: (Sweet as .. ykw.... set up! New Balance Clouds! Major fist bumps & arm pumps!)

I’m thinking the air fryer route for some non microwaved food. I’ve done both the hot plate and toaster oven and no, not the best options out there.

I’m changing my diet from sandwiches, sandwiches, and more sandwiches; to salads, wraps, grilled chicken, protein etc.

Would be nice to have the chicken crispy. I’ve been craving some baked ziti though I oughta make some at the house cause no one else wants any.

This might be helpful to people who can shop often. I’m home weekly so it’s much easier. But, OTR I would consider some kind of low profile freezer under the bunk.

Fridge is usually stocked with milk, mixed greens, lunch meat, cheese, sauces.

Cabinet above microwave has bread, wraps, cereal, granola or protein bars of some kind, peanut butter (yep), spices etc.

Cabinet above wardrobe contains paper bowls and plates (yes, they were rejects), plastic utensils, my toothbrush/razor bag.

I’d assume you could manage this in bulk. If storing on top bunk or under bunk I’d highly recommend the low profile storage bins. I’m pretty sure you can get a 12v mini deep freezer. They are very efficient.

I went the frozen meal route for some time and I regret that strongly. I realize OTR was difficult to do this but I made I wasn’t that prepared back then.

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.

Agh, alright I’m triple posting. I overlooked your comment on the PlayStation. Yeah, it’s annoying as heck. I do that with the fan and such. I had an Xbox and I have no tv mount so you can imagine. I didn’t care for gaming, just wanted to replay a 10 year old game.

This thought popped in my mind. Ever seen under cabinet mounts? Used to put radios or security DVRs in them.

Something like that where it hooks up in the cabinet and also secure your PlayStation. The microwave will help hold it to. Probably easier to build you one. I thought that nightstand idea to but there’s no room for that

You guys weren't wrong in that I wouldn't be back for a while. I don't get notifications from Trucking Truth, even on the website so I have to manually search all my forums. Pain in the rear.

Anyways I've got kind of a decent setup. I have a 4.3 cu ft fridge with separate freezer and it is amazing. I fit everything I need and more in there. Leaves just enough room for the PlayStation to sit on top and get some fresh air.

I also still do not use the top bunk for storage. I have a curtain that I drape for when I'm sleeping. I use this because my divider curtains are almost impossible to pull out because the fridge is so big I had to run a ratchet strap to the seat mounts which blocks off the curtain.

My truck is nowhere near as clean as yours as I'm not only lazy but it's an older truck and I'm getting the 2023 model Saturday. Not looking forward to moving all this stuff out.

Also as I'm sure you see the tv is mounted to the window. So basically it's an Onn brand (Walmart) 24-32" tv mount. This is a 32" tv I put on it. I had the tv and mount already at my house that we barely used so I already had it. Take the top two screws out of the window and use those to hold the mount. P.s. I'll add photo with tv off to understand better. The tv blocks the light from coming in where the curtain must stay down by the way.

Second reply for me as well haha. But yeah the under cabinet mount might work. I'll look into it more. Just concerned about fitting with the microwave. I definitely want the PlayStation to breathe. I had a little 12v fan on it before but it died after only about 8 days of use. And because I'm OTR I couldn't get home to get receipt to return to Walmart for replacement. Currently saving up my pilot flying j points to get a new one.
