    B5635106-E32B-47B5-8764-8C888B4B69BE.jpeg My wife asked what I need for my new career in trucking that I will start in January. I thought I would get some ideas from experienced drivers of things a new driver doesn’t think about.

    I did read that a new driver should make sure to have a Adidas sweat suit. Aside from that, please share your must haves for someone starting their career in the trucking world. Thanks

    BTW, I think the track suit and shower shoe bunch and the fingerless glove guys are different classes of people.

    I wasn’t sure about that. My initial thought being the track suit is pure vinyl, the gloves would be a nice accent. Learn something new everyday I guess.

    Good idea; those are good for pre-trips inspections at night.
