    Not to sound like an A-hole i understand you needed a job, but there is no way a "trainer" could tell me not to shower for a whole month... I hope it was worth it getting that job

    I worn sandals in the truck and those pull on walmart sneakers outside and I had workboots for the docks. My feet need to breath too! with undies and socks though. Back a bunch of those. When you are solo, I would keep a bowl and some water to do a quick sponge bath if you need to. Sometimes it's nice to do one after unloading and loading so you can relax and get the funk out. Just keep a few shops towels to dry with. Wet wipes are wonderful for a quick cleaning, but I HATE the scented ones and even the unscented smell to me :(

    Yo! New trucker... good luck.. a lot of old heads on here... that's why they're giving you #### on your grammar... we see you have they're attn hahaha...

    Just don't over pack! One, nice size suit-case.. remember.. its already a tight space.

    Really, if you a pretty clean guy.. and hope your trainer is too.. this is all you need....

    Hygiene is priority!

    So far 3-4 pants/shorts, 6 shirts are fine (i like wearing tank-tops when i drive.. very comfortable.. throw on a shirt if i need to go inside the truck stop or walmart etc....) flip flops (must) for showers, boots, comfortable shoes, all hygiene/grooming products you might need including bar of soap (I just don't like the truck stop soaps, my opinion) 8-10 pair of socks and boxers, just in case your trainer waits 7-10days to wash clothes,pens, paper.. all that other stuff like whiteout..staplers.. paperclips.. etc your trainer should already have.. baby wipes are cool.. these are mainly for if you have to go a day w/o washing you #####.. a day or two without washing is probably what the trainer intentions may be.. unless you have one that likes to shower everyday.. nothing wrong with that either, as long as you can shower quick and hit the road.. that may be what you want if your a clean guy...

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Yo, Op! You just got your first lesson in trucking. Yo, most truckers will ##### and moan about anything. Yo, stay out of truck stop lounges. Lotta #####in and moaning going on. And when they're not #####in and moaning they'll be comparing all their kills while they were Navy SEALS! Pack a pair of hip waders cause the #### gets deep out there on the road!
