Stevens Class of Sept 26, 2011

You probaby won't need a flashlight, I never used one. U will need gloves and maybe even a grease rag to wipe your hands during pti's. I wouldn't worry about an atlas. They provide them during class and give you one when you graduate.

 

Thanx.............

 

Thank you sir.

 

Im thinking the same thing.
But I need to start from some where
My journey into trucking.

 

thank you sir.

 

That is a very adult decision, GSWx, and probably the right one. I have learned one thing reading these posts since July: One must be in the proper state of mind to get into this business, get through training, and succeed on the road. Having to leave your family - including the dogs! - would have been a very high hurdle to cross, one that would have probably have turned out to be fatal to your driving career.

I wish you well in whatever you do.

 

Bring the flashlight (if you're going into O-1). It's beginning to get darker and that flashlight comes in handy when doing your pti or when checking tire pressures in the morning before rolling.
BTW, I use one of those elastic strip 'headlights' you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. Leaves my hands free and shines the light wherever I'm looking. Really handy when kneeling in the dark looking for that elusive valve stem or checking my fifth wheel.
