Good point. The battery on my 'old' S4 Note phone died while I was in CDL school, so I bought a USB battery pack. I found a smoking deal on a 4K mAH pack at Albertsons for under $20. Priceless.

Is A USB battery pack, so when your trainer won't let you use a 12 volt jack to charge your phone because it's powering his Sirius radio, you can charge your phone from the battery pack. They're indispensable.
Edit to add 4K mAH is 4 thousand milliamp hours. It's the battery packs capacity.Sirscrapntruckalot and firemedic2816 Thank this. -
Take your highest expectations, and trade them on the absolute lowest model you can find. Just kiddin'. Have you settled on a company? When I was just starting the companies that approved me sent me a list of things to bring. Do they still do that? I'd take extra gloves, two pairs of shoes. Just think about going on a long vacation, and think about all the stuff you'd need. Make a list as you go for your own truck, while you're training.

Just saw them in the eyeglass shop. I am certainly no doctor. The guy showed them to me since I wear glasses too.Last edited: Jun 25, 2018

Ray Ban’s newest lens is excellent. Straight into low sun. They are better than mirrored. Then they don’t leave you blind in the shadows either. They’re really good. But should be at over $200 bucks.
Yes I do drive with a pair of them.
Yes I do look cool in them.
One thing everyone must have. An intelligent life form in the truck.
At least one.taodnt Thanks this. -
I love those big oversized sunglasses!Odin's Rabid Dog Thanks this.
