    First off, I just want to thank all of you for your posts. Many of the posts on different threads helped me make a decision for Prime.

    Like other newbies, I have that mixed feeling of anxiety and excitement that comes with this kind of a change in lifestyle. I really feel that most topics have been covered for me, again thanks to the prior posts, except one. Realistically, how should you pack? I've lived on the road before, but that was in a full size van; and it took a few months to get a rhythm down for my travel necessities. I've got the new hire packet, but let's face it; advice from those who have gone before is invaluable. Also, any other information that you would like to contribute is greatly appreciated by myself and the others looking to start with any company.

    And just to satisfy everyone's curiosity, I head in on 7/24, so it's getting close now.:biggrin_25519:

    Pack only what you need. Space it at a premium on a truck. There's a list somewhere with better info.

    You just need the essentials when you start bathing stuff ie toothpaste soap razors and clean clothes find the ability to live with all you essentials in one piece of baggage works for me and then as you get settled in the truck get you a tv cooler radio etc etc for passing the time in whatever way u enjoy

    Couldn't agree more, that's why I started this thread. The list seemed a little ridiculous.
