    pair of sweats and a pee jug should pretty much do it. no need to waste time packing things most truckers don't use like soap, razors, toothpaste, clean clothes, deodorant, shoes.....


    I joke but you will see those drivers soon enough. Probably some in orientation. The other ideas already posted are good.

    Thanks, since I've soloed in a Cessna 150, I get the picture. I'm hoping my typical airline roller suitcase will work, but I might go ahead and get a duffle bag.

    I have a small duffel bag with wheels that sized for carry-on with passenger airlines. Can make it fit in the truck or aircraft where a rigid suitcase won't fit.

    If you read about trainees getting left behind at truck stops be prepared to travel just in case.

    I bought a duffel bag off Amazon, after all. A trucker will have to deliver it to me.

    Make sure you got basic medications for diahrea, constipation, indigestion, and headaches. You may never need them but when you do you will feel like a champ chomping down a Immodian tab while trainer is squirting his Chipotles buffet under the trailer
