Life Away from Home Virtual Tour of the Inside of our Truck

Some truckers go home pretty often and others like us stay out for 6-8 weeks, so we cram as much as we can into our trucks because it is very expensive to buy items in a truck stop. It's also bad to be setting out in the middle of no where and not have food, or even worse no coffee.

We have many comforts of home, or should I saw necessities. A microwave/convection over, a tv/dvd player (a zillion dvd's), a mixer, a couple of fans, a fairly large fridge, lots of books (reference and reading) a printer and four laptops and a lapdock. We also have several items stored in our read compartments, which is called a headache rack. I call it my outhouse. We have cabinets (we took out the top bunk) that are stuffed and closets full of things.

Let me just give you a virtual tour.

If you enjoyed this leave me a comment, share, and like thanks. I hope you follow this blog. If you were going to be away from home for 6-8 weeks what would be the main thing you'd want to take with you?

Loaded up and Truckin'

Loaded up and truckin'.  We are. It's amazing how much you can pack into the bunk portion of a truck. We have a Kenworth W900, Penelope (named after the big blonde on Criminal Minds), and we have all 86 inches jam-packed full. Plus we have additional space in the headache rack that's attached to the back (my outhouse).

Putting stuff on and taking stuff off, that's the motion of a trucker leaving and returning home. It's a trillion times expanded if it's a team operation. Do you want to know what goes on a truck?

Hold your breath.

 After six hours of solid carrying and placing the items in a general location, we forced the doors shut. The stuff was stacked taller than me, all around, all around. Del say's, "Oh my, where in the world will you put all this and how will we ever find the bed again." I work my magic (as women do) and viola, it's livable.

What do you load on your truck? Non-truckers, what do you pack for a trip? Do you take any extras like irons, coffee pot, or electronics? Share please.
