ok, as much as i can mention here:

tooth brush,
tooth paste,
clothing for at least 2 -3 weeks, (shirts)
underwear,
socks,
t-shirts,
a change of blue jeans (at least 3 pairs),
a spare pair of work boots, so your other ones can dry out each night,
coat/jacket for the cold weather
ATM card
any medications you are on.
aspirin
pens, pencils, 6" ruler, note pad/book, eraser, pencil sharpener
soap, hair shampoo, comb, deodorant, body powder



this is just a 'short list'. you very well MAY go on the road after orientation, so you'll need those items to get you by for a while......

unless you are absolutely sure your blood pressure is at a passing rate
have it checked before you go

PGT said I would be on the road with a trainer for up to 3 weeks or less depending on how I do. I'm hoping he's not one of those fatass lazy guys that will make me go the whole 3 weeks so he can make more money. I'm not real excited about going OTR with a total stranger either?
Maverick said I wouldn't have to go with trainer because of my previous experience.

with out a doubt, some driver-trainers are lazy. YES they want the money, and ONLY the money....

you'll never know till you actually get there.

as far as Maverick NOT requiring you to have a trainer, this is very good as well.

BUt, you cannot hold out in hopes of maverick calling you. that would be a dangerous game you might lose...........you can always go to maverick at a later time if you want to, especially if you gain even MORE experience with PGT.
