What do you have to make your life easier and more profitable going down the road? Since we bought this truck we have added many gadgets! I have added the costs of some of the items we have bought to only be used as a reference as I am sure someone has purchased these items cheaper or have paid more.
Cell Phones - We have three Sprint - Verizon - AT & T we have the three so we can talk to family members, friends and also do business. We have the minimum of minutes with nationwide coverage and have found this to be the cheapest way for us to have cell phones.
Sprint Air Card We have tried the truck stop services and found our life was a lot similar to just always have internet service. This is one service as the years go by the service has gotten better and the price cheaper. We pay about 200.00 for the phones and the Sprint air card.
headphones This has been a lifesaver for both Bob and I for sleeping at night as the other one can listen to the radio at any volume they want. My head set is old and I don't know the price.
IPOD We have found for us this is the easiest and cheapest way for us to listen to books. Prices have great decreased greatly since we purchases this.
Lowrance GPS I did not have a lot of confidence in my self to get through my shift of driving if I had a lot of interchanges to do without help. We have also found that we argue a lot less when you can just look to the dash for directions. We paid approximately 600.00 two years ago
TMO Team Management Optics This is an item to tell us who is driving by a set of lights! 75.00 made by Bob and idea conceived by Terry
Inverter We have a 3500 watt inverter that came with the truck. We love this as we can plug in all of our 110 items. We have a crock pot, rice cooker and few other cooking items we use in the truck.
RV size Refrigerator/Freezer This has been such a great luxury and I cannot imagine in the future not having this cost saving item. We can keep our shelves stocked up and save money by not buying meals in the truck stops.
XM Radio This is a tax deductable item and is almost always on.
Quicken Have to have to to keep track of all the expenses. Approximate cost 75.00
Streets & Trips We actually use this to track the history of our loads and an over view of our route. We also use this to check where we are going to purchase fuel. Not sure of this cost.
Microsoft Office We use the spread sheets to keep track of all of our stats with the truck. Not sure of this cost.
Microwave We all know how important this item it.
21" TV Great for watching DVD's and not much else but collecting dust.
Oak Floor This has been so much easier to maintain and keep clean. We keep a rubber backed area rug on it that can be shook out and washed.
