!st on the list is the biggest power inverter they will let you put in (a 1500w invertor)
things to take with you on your trainers truck
toiletrees
laptop
internet (aircard/mifi)
big maglite
ATLAS... learn how to get from point a-b without gps
flip flops (shower shoes)bullhaulerswife and RBPC Thank this. -
okay, like i said im new to all of this so im kinda "what do i do were do i go what do i need" lol
and my incessant planning doesnt help -
when you 1st go out with your trainer truck take only 2 BAGS you may end up sleeping with them in YOUR BED
clothes warm and cool enough for 2 weeks... it can be 80 when you start your day and 35 when you stop (600 miles away) remember that this job you may be in laredo, tx one day and in denver 2 days later
shorts, rain/wind breaker, warm coat, 2 pair of shoes/boots (do you realy want to get your feet wet and then have to drive for 4-8hrs in wet shoes..?)
toiletrees/shower shoes (would you take a shower at a truckstop with out them), towel
MED'S
laundry soap (purex sheets) remember you will need to do laundry
ATLAS you will need to dp trip planning
maglite (bigger is better)
laptop, aircard/mifi (for internet)
GLOVE's (fueling, hooking/unhooking trailers, sliding tandems)

Im with a trainer now hell im posting this in my bunk as we are going through missouri. Bring a box or 2 of granola bars, your own 5$ pair of sunglasses and a hat and two forms of cash
RBPC Thanks this. -
I'm pretty sure he asked about electronics.....
-
i did, but as im also new to it all anything i need to know is information to me lol
-
I don't understand all of the love for a Maglite. There are many other brands that are lighter, brighter, more efficient, and cost less to operate than a D cell light. I highly recommend an AA or AAA with Sanyo Eneloops and a smart charger like an Sony BCG 34HRE4KN.
