Apologies if there is already a thread on this, couldn't find the answer by searching so here it is.
Im expecting to go solo sometime next week. I have plenty of experience in training (Three months worth of training with Rohel and Jrayl at this point.), but no experience in running solo.
What should I have to put in my assigned truck when I go solo? I know of a few things; CB, TV, Fridge, and microwave. Just wondered if there is anything else I am missing in my to get list.

sleeping bag that can handle cold weather. Sometimes your bulk heater won't work and you cant idle. Bring an aux cord or something to play it on your truck speaker so u can listen to audiobook, podcast or music. Obviously gps and dash cam

Are you OTR or a local position?.. -
I did however get this lesson when I was terminated from Roehl. Ended up having to get a bus ticket from their Garry terminal back home on my dime and left some things behind on my trainer's truck. Luckily, it wasn't anything valuable.
So ever since that happened, I have came to understand that this exact thing could happen while im solo; so ill be sure to keep some money aside to get myself and my stuff back home.dwells40 Thanks this. -

A really good pillow. Look for 12v plugs for all electrical devices, phone, etc. if you have an inverter in your truck built in perhaps a small extension cord. Some built in plugs are in weird places in sleeper
