Supplies for Training

Something like these bags, especially the 22 and 28 inch bags.

Will they be enough? Well, I don't have much clothes anyway, I have like one pair of jeans and 5 shirts, not even a jacket so I should be good lmao!

 

Whatever fits your needs is better than what most others use.

 

Probably gonna want two pairs of jeans and a coat. Depends where you go.

 

Cool, thanks, I'm thinking of going with Melton Trucking Lines.

 

See where they run, or ask them about how heavy of a coat. The driver trainer would be the best person to ask. Definately want atleast 2 pair of pants.

 

Cool, thanks man.

 

A wool blanket from Cabelas. They’re on sale right now. Bought one for the truck. Oh it’s so comfy and warm. Been driving six years. Never as comfy as I am now sleeping. Love it so much. Bought a second for home.
Oh…and…don’t forget your teddy bear.

Also another mentioned elsewhere. When you is a newbie. You got bags for everything. You can tell when a person has a few years in. They use a trash bag for clothes. A paper sack for the shower.

 

I live three blocks from the beach, and I wish my beach looked like that.

 

Most of this stuff is common sense. A sleeping bag and a pillow. A bag with your clean clothes (I change my underwear and socks every day, shirt every other day, trousers twice a week, and everything if I get dirty at a stop). A trash bag for your dirty laundry. I handle cold weather with layers, a zip up hoodie with a sweatshirt or sweater underneath if needed.

The other issue that will come up is food and drink. You’ll want a refillable water bottle or cup with a lid and straw, and a travel mug for coffee if you drink that. When I had a trainee for a week, I had him bring a small cooler with any food he’d want (I have a small fridge in my truck, but I use most of the space). When I first went out as a trainee myself, I brought a lot of very portable food, things like protein bars and drinks, things that didn’t require refrigeration or cooking. Check with your trainer to see how he handles meals.
