Tying up loose ends before heading to school and training!

Heck; by now most have changed co's twice....

 

1. Cell phone. Most cell phone carriers have a family plan the allows for free calls between family members. Getting that additional line is usually a $10 per month fee so you might want to look into doing that with one of your sisters.

2. Someone to call daily, or at least someone who will look into you not making contact after a few days. Bad things do happen.

3. Renting a storage unit, don't do it!!!!!!!!!!

4. Beater car for leaving at the terminal. A car (or pickup) that looks so bad that no one will steal it.

5. The cheapest laptop you can find. That should be computer laptop. Install a GPS program on it, just so you will be able to get a local map when you need it. Why the cheapest? I've managed to destroy one a year, and that's without trying!

6. A can opener. At some point you will really really want a can opener.

Good luck!

 

This what i did, they also ask for stuff a lot the ot room, what i did was make photo copys of everything from birth cert too driver lic, if they ask for organal take it, get yourself a good flashlight no cheepee, get a first aid kit , truckers always get beat up by trls and tractors, handy whipes for disgusting docks handrails that truckers leave gum on if your smoker make sure you get a trainer that smokes, bug spray such as off annd flea and tick killer can, because if you park in the southeast rest areas there loaded with trees which are nice but can carry ticks and other critters, if you plan on driving in the sw get a snake bite and other critter kit, stay away from trk stop becuse there casnio's in disguis, shower at the pilot much better and free with fuel and ussally depending on time day no lines , unlike the other two were you wait in line from 45 mins too 2 hrs ,again depending on time of day, what i did , was drop trl at shipper or rec, and ask if okay to bt too trkstop too shower up and eat if close by, most were not, so plan it out very carefully,while waiting too get unloaded , use it too rest as much you can , unless you are too be in trl, you did not say wether or not your running reffer or not, if so buy a very high priced steel toa boot such as catipiller boots, they have the soles for traction as that reffer floor is very slippery, also that box of frozen produce, is like 34 pounds of steel hittiing your toes , so steel toes is better then tennys , unless you like pain well theres a few more pointers for ya, Everett.

 

I FORGOT TOO ADD THIS, DONT EVER HOW MUCH THEY BEG EVER EVER GIVE MONEY TOO TRAINER FOR FOOD OR ANYTHING ELSE, THEY ARE SUPPSE TOO TEACH YOU ABOUT MONEY , now i got off that my chest, i had a trainer for crst , a black guy , was a road king member, my first time out in a big rig never know any better , so lent him a hundred, he spent it on crack i latter find out , as i tooling down the hyway and needed directions too shipper so i could tell he wasnt sleeping so whipe opean the curtain and that was my first time seenen anyboby do the thing with a spoon, after that day i never lent money again too noboby, and the worst thing was i didnt mind all the driving, it was him who was driving high on crack , Everett.

get yourself a pre-paid visa card, load it up with however much you think you might need to get home in an emergency. stash it somewhere safe besides your wallet. that way if you get uppity and kicked to the curb, you can get home. lord knows we don't want to see you hanging around the fuel pumps bumming. also put 10 bucks on a sprint pre-paid. you know your cell will be sitting on the dash giggling as it drives out the gate.
