What should I take...?
I am as excited as a "pig in slop"! :lol: Had my final telephone interview yesterday with CFI and I am starting school at Crowder College in Neosho Missouri on January 8. I do have a question for the pros out there, what does someone need to take to a January class with them?
Thanks!

Pretty much anything you will need to SURVIVE as long as you need to!
plenty of clothes, hygenic necessitys, entertainment, and MONEY!
MOSTLY MONEY!

If it werent for flatbedders, van drivers wouldnt have a dock to back into! Right?

Pointy Cowboy Boots, a belt with a large Buckle, Black leather vest, a nicely worn John Deere cap, mirror sunglasses, a sweet Kershaw lockback w/quick release sheath, a cell phone with a Dukes of Hazzard Gen.Lee ringtone, a Catapillar ring the size of brass knuckles, a trucker's wallet with a leash on it, a Kubaton key holder, and a steady supply of Cinnimon flavored tooth picks.
Spend your girlfriends money.

You should consider getting some one piece coveralls. I would recommend Carhart. You are gonna need them once you start driving and they won't hurt when you are doing your pre-trip and outdoor lessons. If you are new to the game, you might consider taking along a nice wool cap or something similar, I found it helpful when I was learning to drive with the window down so I could hear the truck better, but your ear will get cold. Some nice sturdy gloves would also do wonders, once again I recommend Carhart work wear winter gloves, these ain't your mommy's garden gloves.
Roadhog, we are here to help these people. I would for one appreciate if you would stop omitting critical items from your check list. You forgot a big ole pouch of red man.

I like the Sorrel Boots with the felt liner. Great traction, and you need to keep your feet warm...or everything else just sucks.
