Trainer Input Please: Folding carts for trainees

You will probably find it tucked into the upper bunk. Yet if you cant get luggage that has wheels on it, the company may negate you before you even get near a truck.

 

I got one from Walmart, when you fold the base up the wheels fold also.

Heavy-Duty Folding Luggage Cart. About $28.00.. folds up to about 2". It was actually in the area where they keep office supplies by the shipping boxes.

that wuldbe a no go in my truck small room tell students if you can sleep with it bring it unless you are disable then i will figure it out

 

Just ask the trainer "Is there room for this until we get somewhere?" and don't form any emotional attachments to it.

You'll be making the big bucks soon enough, and if you have to toss it measure it's value by the labor/injury it saved you per $ until then.

 

How many two-liter bottles of Mountain Dew can it carry?

 

What's with all the trainers saying you have to keep everything you bring on the top bunk?

 

A lot don't want to give up their space since they have their own stuff exactly where they want it.

 

And many either own or are leasing the truck too. Their payments, their rules.

 

The cart is about the size of a milk crate with wheels. I had one for business work and loved it.

When you leave home with all this, you could perhaps get a large vacuum bag they have for storage and suck all the air out of it with the sleeping bag and pillow so that it doesn't take up as much space. I have used large trash bags before and then fold the opening down and tape real well, but if it gets a small tear in it it will fill back up with air. You won't be able to use the vacuum bag, as a vacuum bag, unless you find someone with a vacuum running around, but it still can be used as is.

There is indeed not a lot of room on trainers trucks, even for large suitcases unless they fold down pretty flat.

Maybe you could put it under the mattress on the bottom bunk, wrap it in something where it won't scar the platform and if using outside, I would put it in a large plastic bag (germs you know get on it); the top bunk according to if it would come flying out if the truck stopped suddenly.
