OTR with Millis Trainer

######!

 

Thanks for your service! lol

 

D-Day has arrived! After a few conversations with my trainer we have an agreed upon meeting point. Oakwood, IL. He's already offered me a free microwave, evidently his wouldn't fit so he purchased another. With space at a premium I guess I'll take it and send it home with my S.O.

I was amazed that I could still pack 6 days worth of clothes, U.S. Army issue Arctic sleeping bag, and a pillow in my U.S. Army duffle bag. Boots will be worn, running shoes, shower shoes, tossed under drivers seat as per instructions from trainer. Winter coat, rain jacket will be put somewhere I'm sure. Only thing else is my laptop case with all my "office" supplies and my bag with various toiletries. Thats right, I will be washing my arse!

We decided I did not need to bring my map, gps, no need for redundant items.
I think I'm ready, I'm sure I forgot something important but I can pick up about anything on the road, and I do mean anything!

It seems my trainer is from the great state of New York, so hopefully I'll get home before Independance Day. lol Really though, I have hopes of being done ASAP, this isn't my first goat rope! Later.....Be Safe!

 

My thoughts exactly, my hopes are to get routed through the house when I get my truck, if thats the case, I can always pick up anouther trucker atlas, paper edition, to get me home. I was thinking about taking GPS anyway to mark p/u and delivery address while out with him. Thanks for the thoughts though!
