I just have about 7 jeans 2 pair of shorts and about 25 shirts. 10 long n 15 short. I keep pair of boots and tennis shoes and I drive with flip flops on. My feet get hot n sweat so I must keep the air flowing. But I put on shows each and every time I get out the truck. Even to use the restroom. I only use my overalls (thick pair for cold days n thin for warm days) when I'm using chains since u can get dirty real fast. I also have sweat pants n shirt for the walk from the shower back to my truck. And I never get in my bunk with cloths on. I use pjs when I want to relax on my bunk and sleep. I do laundy every 3weeka so I wear my jeans twice or 3 times depends how dirty I get. And the gloves yea good to have extra and a pair just for gas. I use thinner rubber glove inside of a thicker work glove.

Driving a regular car felt kind of strange after getting off the truck.
I can't stop laughing! I remember getting into my ford explorer and just felt wrong. Riding my ass on the ground ah man I feel more comfy in a truck now

Great post I'm also a student who been thinking of becoming an O/O with Prime. My trainer is an Lease Op and we are running teams but he shows me everything. We are getting loads that are 2k even as high as 4k. Now he inform me of gas n other thing n weekly lease payments of the truck and other things. He says leasing a truck with navy federal credit union and I can cut the payments in half n put more money in my pocket. What do u guys thinks?

My update with Prime Inc.
Prime has been nothing but great for me. I've already got the call to come back to lease but I'm going to stay company. After we drop this load in Wash state I'm going to be routed back to Springfield to become solo.. I had the same trainer for both phases of training and he has reward me so far with an older gas (I have to updated wit new maps) a CB Radio and the big map book. He bout new gas with weather n traffic updates and CB with weather channel and new map book with bigger picture of the map. So I got lucky. And he also got me the little trucks top book and a seat organizer all as rewards for doing so well at trip playing and how to strap my loads and also don't have to spend much money when I get started on my own. It's been great I can't wait to get back and become solo. This is my first truck company and best job I've ever had!! My friends are jealous of the money I have and how I've been changing just about everything in my life. And becoming debt free as well. Best decision I ever made!!!!
