    sleeping bag, and pillow easiesr to carry with you
    and when you get your own truck you have a spare blanket for the cold nights

    Travel light, u may not have a lot of room in the top bunk for your things. Weeks worth of clothes, Atlas, gloves, toiletries, cash etc. I wouldn't worry so much with a GPS or CB....you are in a trainers truck hopefully he is equipped to do his job. Focus on driving and paper work even if he uses ELOG ask about paper and do them yourself for the time in the truck. You may not have ELOG when you get your truck and then you'll be glad you did paper.

    agreed with BDJ. nice to have CB when you get out on your own. learn as much as you can from your trainer and ask LOTS of questions.
