    Is this going to be my Facebook replacement ??

    Well, I think I'm off to Prime . I was verbally accepted by my recruiter but still awaiting official notification / instruction ( don't know anything yet accept my date )

    I'm supposed to be leaving in roughly 2 weeks. That doesn't give me much time to pack and get my ducks in a row. Can anyone give me tips about packing ? I know space is an issue , how many bags ? How large ? I'm hoping to eat on the road to save $$$ , should I bring anything to cook in or utensils ( I know that may sound stupid, but I'm starting off poor and clueless aside from what I've read online )

    I'm thinking that keeping things to a minimum yet having everything I need so I don't have to buy stuff right away might be an art that I can glean wisdom from others on.

    thanks

    Sleeping bag & pillow(can roll it up and out of the way when you're driving and the trainer is sleeping)
    Collapsible bags, not suitcases
    If you're poor, lots of Ramen Noodles, instant coffee, etc. Truck stops have microwaves for free use.

    Keep it to a minimum until you're a solo driver.

    Preach on brother! I don't know how many trainee suitcases I wanted to throw out on the side of a road.

    Students/trainee, if you can afford it get a bag that collapses! Duffle bag is best, but if you have a bag where the bottom is stiff, that's fine. Nothing else that holds a shape.
