Well to be honest, you will have to sleep with it in your bunk. So I would run down and get a duffel bag, and also a sleeping bag as you will be better served than sheets and blankets. Sheets and blankets would be fine except while in TNT and you will be sleeping in the bottom bunk (your trainers bunk) while he is driving. With a sleeping bag you would just move it to the bottom bunk, With sheets you would have to make the bed every time.

Thanks Highway, will go see what I can find at wallywold tmrw.i figured space would be a problem.

As others have said, a duffel bag is preferable. They collapse as you take stuff out, so once you take out your pillow, fart sack, and such, they don't take up a lot of room. -
You're going to be expected to act as a guest in that home on the road, and a good one at that. You'd better plan on asking first, before you take any liberties, and expect to help with the upkeep of the truck (i.e. cleaning) while you're there. Understand that the cab of an OTR truck is a very small universe. You are going to get to know your instructor and trainer very well. You can make this an enjoyable interlude in the beginning of your career, or you can make things very hard on yourself. The choice is yours. -
Not sure who you are talking to mr. Pony. Who said anything about messing up a bed or truck ?

This has been a great thread. Here is my situation. I have about 6yrs of former exp, mostly refer. I haven't driven a truck since 2004. Two weeks ago I cramed for 4 days here in cali and passed the test for my Permit. Now im in a 7 day refresher cource at a trucking school. So I can pass the drive test and pretrip and all that. THE FIRST TIME . I will have my CDL by the time I get to springfield sometime around the 15th of May. Knowing this info, can someone please let me know what to expect. By the way. I got a call the other day and she said I was approved for Prime--company driver--refer. Im assuming that's a good thing.

Yep its a good thing if you want reefer. You're coming in as a C-seat, so start reading at the beginning of the thread... junk the stuff about permit testing, and insert that you're looking for a TnT trainer on Friday. You'll do 40k miles, and come back in for solo upgrade to your own truck.
