Hi all, landed my first trucking job today Ashley Furniture Industries
in Arcadia,WI Start on March 14Th (graduate on the 8TH)

I know its been asked but what should I bring with me when I go
out with a trainer? I should be out five days at a time.

just enough clothes to last the week, hair brush tooth brush and stuff, its not your truck and your trainer might not have room for all your tools and cd boombox and computers, just travel light until you get your own truck and then load er up with all your goodies...... good luck with ashley ...

Does Ashley want you to go out with a trainer for awhile? And if you ever get a load here to our store in Coshocton, Oh give me a heads up!

Don't bring a toothbrush, a friend of mine that became a trucker stopped brushing his teeth out on the road. It was too much of a hassle w/ the public restrooms.

Just lay off heavy sugared foods and you and your teeth should be fine.

Your not serious with what you just said???
You don't have to go into a restroom to brush your teeth! Get a disposable cup, spit toothpaste in cup, then rinse your mouth with water and keep the teeth God gave you!!!! I would hate to see that guys teeth, or have to meet face to face with this person. BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND FLOSS EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!

You have to do backing and stuff with the yard dogs for a week, then you go out with a trainer for 6weeks.

If I get down that way I'll let ya know.
