    I started a thread about what to take on the road as a student, well I just got back from my pto time and wanted to share what I learned.

    Cash advance can be a good thing but also bad come payday.
    bring money to eat on and it cost way more than $6.00 a day.
    be ready for sticker shock everything cost more off the interstate.
    sign up for all the free loyalty cards from t/a petro piolit flying j and loves
    shower shoes are a must, also bring a small bag to keep everything you need to take a shower. Pack enough clothes for 10 days. bring quarters for laundary at the truck stop. buy detergent and dryer sheets before you go.

    The very most important thing is listen to your trainer, you don't know everything, don't wear a chip on your shoulder when the trainer trys to teach you something or discuss your weak points.

    Last you are a student there to lean, not be a slave, I f you and your trainer dont get along call somebody. Later
