What is an average cost of living driving OTR?
 

Alright, Im getting ready to go to school and have already been looking into a lot of different companies, but nobody talks about the actual cost to live in a truck for weeks at a time. I've been told it cost alot more than living in a house but cant figure out why. I already eat out almost every meal. I have power inverters, tv, laptop, ice chest, warm and cold clothes, and what seems like all the other stuff people say to take so i won't have to buy any of that. I have a really good cell phone plan with internet so I wont have to pay extra to call home. So what else might i expect to have to buy or pay that would make living in a truck cost so much more? Does anyone know how much they spend per week or month on just the necessities? Im trying to figure out how much of my check i will have left after i pay for being away from home?

I used to budget $75/week. Sometimes I spend up to $150. (I $moke and keep low carb groceries in the cooler.)

yeah how much do u spend weekly OTR rookie with a question

What the heck, I'll bite.

I usually spend $150 - 300.00 cash a week while on the road. But that is just me, I own the truck and the company.

If I am in Vegas or Reno, it might be a little more.

Where does it go? I ain't got a clue

:shock:

yeah, about the same. $150-300. i am a co. driver, but i enjoy being comfortable, no matter what.
sometimes i'll find something that someone wants and get it for them. :wink:
