Alright let me know if there's anything else I need:
suitcase (to carry all clothes, and shower needs)
7 days of clothes
2 hoodies
steel toes
casual shoes
work gloves
shaving acc.
toothpaste/brush
contacts/misc.
backpack (for misc. paperwork)
binder w/ paper
pens
US Atlas
Pocket folder
Memory foam pillow
battery powered alarm clock
Bag for dirty clothes
iPod & headphones
Smartphone
wallet with caaaassshhhhh
*******
Again let me know if there's anything important I forgot. I'm not bring covers/sleeping bag along because it takes up too much room, aanndd I never sleep with them anyway. Will I need the steel toe boots? On average, if the training should take a month, how much money will I be safe with in my account?
Thanks in advance for the help! -
I haven't had a chance to read all the way through this thread, but I wanted to put this on here while I was thinking about it...
Here's a tip I figured out, pack white board (or dry erase) markers when you get out on your own. Get a laminated atlas. When you are figuring your route, draw the line on the laminated map with the dry erase marker. Then, on the top left of your windshield, write the highways AND direction you want to go on those highways...as you exit a highway, just use your finger and wipe it off the windshield. Keeps you from looking down at a notepad, Qualcomm, text message, or whatever other way you have your route noted. When you stop for the night, just erase the line to where you are.
People always thought I was crazy with that idea, until they tried it...everybody so far has loved the idea...you can keep your eyes "on the road", and still see your route.
I also did the same with my directions to shippers/receivers...your eyes are still forward (maybe not on the road, per se, but at least you aren't looking down at the steering wheel or whatever). Just my crazy little idea that has kept me from getting lost...MBAngel, TNTHARLEY, LBCsbc2013 and 1 other person Thank this.
