Tonight is the night. I get on the greyhound and spend 13 hours to get to Memphis. I'm taking my kids out to dinner and spending time with them cuz I know I wont see them for the next 3 weeks. I'm excited but it hasn't hit me that I'm leaving yet that will probably happen when I get on the greyhound.

My home town library offers audio book downloads. You just need a library card and you pick your books off of a very large list that they have available online. The download is good for 2 weeks. You don't have to go to the library you "shop" online and no late fees. I put them on my tablet and used an aux cable to send it to my radio in my car. (back when I drove cab)

WHAT YOU WILL NEED OUT ON THE ROAD
good afternoon ladies, ok sooooo I've applied with Swift, Ive taken some of the online tests here and Swift has sent me online classes. I have now read what you are saying I need to bring and I am now feeling like I want to throw up lol ok now my brother use to drive truck, he suggested getting a booney hat so I dont end up with oil etc in my hair when having to get under the truck, also, I saw somewhere not to wear sweat pants however I was thinking a mix of jeans and I have they are danskin pants, they are long, comfortable like sweats but dont get baggy, would that work? also, my son is a Marine and I have tshirts in abundance with things pertaining to that, are those acceptable? I wont bring my "girly" tops, which I have in abundance but as far as tshirts go all I really have are Marine based stuff, I am a supportive and proud mom lol I have slightly longer than shoulder length hair that I would really prefer not to cut, any ideas?
Hello I just finshed the Swift classed and will be headed to Tennese soon. I start classes on May 13th. Def do the training class on here. It is more detailed than Swifts.
Good Luck

Well, I'm flying out to Springfield, MO for Orientation/Training/Boot Camp this coming Sunday. Having not traveled outside of the southeast very much, and never during any season other than the middle of summer I am wondering if I should pack a coat or jacket or sweatshirt, something just in case I hit a cold spot with my trainer? Or do I just save the space since there's two of us on the truck for the next 8+ weeks and take my chances? I have one medium duffel bag with 7 pairs of pants (5 jeans, 2 khaki tactical pants leftover from my LEO days)7 polo shirts and 7 undershirts (white t shirts) along with underwear and socks. This will last me two weeks on the road between laundry (which I am assuming is at the owner of the truck I am training in's discretion. This all fits in the medium duffel, maybe 3/4ths the size of the old style Army duffel bags. Plus I have my toothbrush, soap, shaving goods, etc. What says ye? Too much? Not enough? Help!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and thanks for any feedback ;)
A hoodie would be a good idea. I live in Springfield and its 85 and sunny today but calling for snow Thursday night. If you don't like the Missouri weather wait 5 minutes it will change.

I leave tonight!
So my bus was to leave at 935 pm. At 1033 they showed up and told me they was full and I had to wait for the next bus that leaves at 445 am. I hope that one is not full.
