Budgeting On The Road
I am trying to imagine life on the road as a trucker and how much it would actually cost a week to survive out there as a company driver, obviously an owner operator is gonna have much higher expenses but a higher income. I visited a truck stop up here in Ontario (Fifth Wheel) and asked a few questions, and one of them was how much a shower costs?.... $7.00 and I noticed an all-you-can-eat buffet for $9.99 in the restaurant. The cashier said if I were to purchase 300 Litres or more of diesel I could shower for free. I'm thinking I'm looking at atleast $20 a day to survive out there which comes to about $600 approx. a month subtract the days for home time. Am I close to being correct? Would appreciate some feedback if anyone has time. Thanks

Well I have a couple weeks left of my training to get my ACZ License up here in Canada. Feb 2, 2007 is my road test. Looking forward to it and I really LOVE driving the 18 wheeler. It's an International Fuller 10 speed transmission that I am learning on and I have attached a pic that I took with my cell phone. I have an Interview setup with Schneider National the first week of February provided I pass the road test ofcourse. Looking forward to communicating with other trucking bloggers.
All for now!
