    Yeah I'm 5ft haha! In the Academy we used volvo a lot and I like it coz its shorter nose!

    Any tips what to pack aside from the basic? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything!

    Don't bring too much 7 days worth of clothes(closed toes shoes or sneakers), bedding, shower stuff etc. Documents of course incl passport if you have one as we do run to Canada occasionally.

    You will have plenty of opportunity to swing by a Wal-Mart so really its not necessary to bring lots of stuff as you will only wind up lugging it on and off trainer's truck and to and from hotel.

    There are many times i regretted bring as much as i did and i just had a duffle and a back pack.

    I bought sleeping bag , pillow and blanket. i will only bring duffel bag then a lil shower bag where I can put my toiletries when I need to take a shower.

    My passport is expired so might have to wait til I renew it. Do we have a regular route to Canada?


    I have steel toe boots just incase I will need one. Glasses and safety vest!

    Welcome aboard! Smart choice coming here. As a trainer here I can assure you, you will be trained the correct way. When I stop tonight I will post some info to make your packing easier, along with training info from a trainer, not someone sitting in the office. We do have a great support staff inside, but I'll explain to you what it really is like on the road during training.
