    Hello, My name is Matt.

    I have recently graduated from C1 in Strafford, MO. I am going with USA truck, and from what i understand i should be heading out with my trainer soon.

    Is there anyone here than can suggest to what i should bring with me for the duration of the training period. Do i need to buy a sleeping bag and pillows?

    Thank you for the help!

    Matt

    There is a thread under "Questions from New Drivers" called Packing Lists for Students.

    Best of luck!
