Laundry,food storage
 

How do truckers usually go about doing laundry while away from home for 7-14 days or more at a time?

I'm trying to formulate a basic travel plan to get an idea of what I can take with me while on the road and space for storing the following items inside the cab:

-Changes of clothing for each climate condition. (freezing,hot,rainy,)

-2 weeks worth of food: 5 jars of peanut butter/jelly,25 cans of black beans,green tea bags, 28 oranges,28 apples,8 bags of lettuce,28 tomatoes,tortilla wraps,microwave,water jugs (for coffee and green tea),method to clean things.
-exercise gear (running shoes,clothing for exercise)

Most major brand truckstops have laundry facilities... 10 days worth of clothes is plenty. Remember to present yourself in a clean and tidy manner.

You may need to hook up a 28 foot reefer for the supplies you want to take though.... :lol:

Truckstops will generally have laundry facilities - overpriced ones. Sometimes you'll be able to find a plaza with a laundromat you can park in for a couple of hours that might not be quite as expensive, if you've got the time to kill. Same with grocery stores as far as restocking food, you'll be a lot better off than eating in the truckstops.

You left out the trucker hat with a really nasty crusty sweat ring around it. That way no shower is needed. :wink:

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. :)

Oh don't worry. There will be more! :lol:

You forgot:
1 pair of sandles
1 pair of sweat pants(2 sizes to small)
1 pair of PJs(can be worn outside the truck at truckstops)

Seriously? You are going to take all that fresh produce with you?? It ain't going to stay fresh though. I don't know any driver having that kind of food on the truck unless they go to Wal-Mart every 3 days? :lol: I drive team, we both have clothing for about 10 days and just 2 sweaters each and a winter coat each. We also have a fridge, microwave and dog on the truck and still have a little space left. It takes organization that's all :roll: :wink:
