    Whatever helps you get some sleep if you find yourself wired awake. Melatonin and/or Benadryl are must haves on the truck for me just in case.

    Pretty sure you can get by with the routing and account number. I don't even have paper checks anymore!

    Are you getting on a truck immediately after orientation ? If not just pack what you would for a three day Road trip.
    Don’t over think it.
    AND Congratulations !!!

    This advice applies to more than orientation.

    Bring everything that you are told to bring. Especially ANY documentation that you need that might be out of the norm.

    Pack lightly and pack what you can carry. Assuming you're getting on a truck after classes, sleeping bag/pillow/clothing because you will move from greyhound bus to motel to co. classroom to truck to motel etc. And you don't want to have to make 2 trips with your personal stuff. Last day of orientation, you will check out of motel and carry your stuff to class (remember, 1 trip), then you may get on a truck or go back to the motel. You will be glad you have packed lightly. Always have 2 pens and paper in your pocket and a folded paper towel so when you have to go #2 and there is no T.P. in the stall, you are covered ! One more thing, if you wear glasses, bring extra pair in case you break them. Have fun ! :bootyshake:
