Hey Doc. Your starting date is the same as mine, so wondering if you will be training with Prime? If so, they provided me a list of things to bring.... according to the list, 1 pair of comfortable shoes and 1 pair of boots is what they recommend. Now I had read that some companies (not sure if that means trucking companies or shippers and receivers) require steel toe boots, so I made sure my boots are steel toe. Maybe someone who is already there can provide verification on this for us. Enjoy your training, maybe see you there if you're headed to Prime!
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
Sorry I left out clothes. Again according to their list, enough clothing to be out for 7-10 days. Make sure to pack for cool and warm weather, and bring a sleeping bag or blanket(s) with pillow, as you will be sleeping on the trainer's bunk.
