Trucker Chad thank you for all the advice it helps a lot.
I go camping a lot with my uncle and anti at the same time we camp we go mining we camp at state parks that have showers no microwave just the love of fire pit and nature we do instant coffee, can foods, no technology .
I really appreciate you all Truck Drivers
Very informative, thank you for sharing! This video answered every question I had. My husband will be training OTR this weekend and as a wife I was worried about what to pack and not over packing. Lol I actually bought a refrigerator and a Continental oven and assumed he would be able to take it on his trainers truck 😂😂 Thank God I seen this because I might have gotten my husband kicked off lol
This is helping me pack for my husband. He's going back trucking as we speak.
how is he doing
You're a good wife for doing that! You have any sisters with the same mindset? Lol
Good stuff! Thanks for making this video. Just got my CDL and I’m waiting to go out with my trainer
really helpful video. I'm well informed now and need a cool trainer like him
Good audio, good content, well presented. Thank you!
Thank you gave me just what I needed. 👍👍👍👍
Great video my good friend and road brother. What not to bring flip flops. We hate this, flips in shower OK but any other time outta truck it's a no no
You sound like a great trainer! Great video! Thanks for the great tips!!
Thanks for the tips and all your videos Chad! I'd add "phone charger" to the list. This is the same list of stuff I packed for my week-long road trips doing my sales route to visit my mining customers across 5 states (except for sleeping bag since I stayed in hotels). I'm getting close to starting CDL so I appreciate yours and many other helpful videos. I hope your Mom is feeling better. Here's your list typed up in case anybody wants to just highlight-copy-paste.

Great video brother! I find training to be very fulfilling and rewarding. Hope to see ya on the road. Don't forget to pick up that phone and keep in touch lol
This was extremely helpful, straightforward and very informative.
Thank you very much. I'm so excited about this new lifestyle 🔥💯🙏🏿
You forgot to mention weapons of any kind I am a retired long-haul truck driver and my experience was that a trainer was hauling a training and teaching him and he brought a gun with him and shot her and left her for dead and a Truck Stop which went unnoticed for 3 days. It was very sad
Thanks
Good video .. thank you. I can’t believe some of the things you said people bring. I’m packing to head to Orientation today laughing lol about it
Steel toed is good also in case your trainee backs over your foot.
Straight forward. Thank you
outstanding, thanks
greg likens yw
awesome sharing this informative information
gotta b honest, thinking about getting into trucking as i am in between jobs but being cooped up in a truck with someone for an extended period sounds like a nightmare, i know its only temporary but i could c it being a miserable experience, could c having a hard time getting sleep, what if your with a snorer for example??
Thanks for another great video friend.
A tent?! LOL
A hammock
I'm trying to consolidate due to the limited space on the truck, but I just can't see how I won't have a large bag, bc it's 4 weeks of clothes, plus my sleeping bag. Anyway I'm sooo excited and ready to go, I've been out of school 3 weeks 😬
One of the better videos. Thanks
I like you video. Thanks for all the great information
Thanks for the advice will be starting my new career....
It’s either Fungi, or fungus... fungus is plural. Thanks for the video!
Good video for this newbie
What to bring #1 Open mind and Good Attitude then stuff
I brought 2 jars of Moonshine with me. We had a good time down in South Texas during a 34 hour reset lol. That was back in 2006. Young and stupid. But it was a 34 hour break and had no need to go anywhere
good advice i start on the 13th of this month thxs for the info
What about a handgun for self defense and lawful reasons??
No need towels...dry in your own clothes. Get a phone with bright led lights and that it got a case with a solar charger power bank backup attached to it. Usually those cases are more armored that you can use it as a hammer or a self defense weapon. Bring a fanny pack. Helps a lot. Nailcutters, if you wear glasses, get numerous pairs! Cant drive without glasses and youre fucked when you break them while on the road.
Great video
Very informative
Maybe your trainee can overhaul your engine while on break if he has his tools or adjust the breaks,hehe.how bout boom boxes?
Thank you nice video, glad you did not say a rabid pitbull with diarrhea is against the rules. I bet my trainers going to love Rabid Rufuss!
I’m thinking about coming to Pam! Are you still training Driver’s?
Work boots, or work shoes with steel toes. Even drop and hook can hurt you.
What about alcohol marked for stove fuel. For an alcohol stove
What is driver solutions::: is it an agency that hires for transportation companies or is it it's own truck company?
Hello. I'm a medical transportation driver, thinking about transitioning into the trucking industry
How much free time per day can I expect while with a trainer? To exercise, cook food at a truck stop, eat, and sleep.
you can expect your DOT mandated 10 hour break. anything more is a bonus, but don't expect it. Ideally you've got an hour after work and an hour in the morning with 8 hours of sleep. Remember, if you aren't rolling you probably aren't making any money.
How about a very small cooler that fits 6 or 8 water bottles ?
Can you give some tips/advice for a new driver trainer/mentor?
I have sleep apnea and a cpap machine for it so its not a factor is that a problem on a truck?.
nice video
It’s a working vacation so pack light and bring a good attitude with some pocket change. I’m not paying for your coffee.
What kind of protection are we allowed to have??
Can I bring my blind seeing eye dog?
How much is WiFi? I was kinda hoping to be able to play some video games on some down time with people online once I get my own truck...
Do they pay you while you're training?
Hey Trucker Chad I'm scheduled to attend the Gainesville Ga facility on March 4th, can I request you as a trainer?
Can I bring my girlfriend?
Hell yes !!
Idk why I thought that was funny😂
Oh its definitely funny but just like gum in class only bring it if you plan on sharing lmao
Hey Chad thanks for the advice...I'm still learning and researching the industry, but have spoken to PAM and slated to attend school here in the Detroit area in December, 2018. To my understanding, I have an option to stay with them for 1 year after graduation, or go to another company. I have heard that if you stay with the company, you don't have a choice in the runs you make cause you're in training...
I am more interested in staying local, than going OTR. What other options do I have, as far as Class A, B, and other driving qualifications?
What did you decide to do?
do you and the trainer both have to sleep in the same truck?
Why no mouthwash with alcohol?
If you get pulled over and they have you do a breath test it will show up.
I b looking into doing this what's your thoughts on a c.pap machine.i have to use to sleep with.?.runs on 12.and.120.
Can I bring acoustic guitar ?
No lol. Leave that for when your driving solo.
who do you drive for?
Hi Chade
my name is Camille do the Pam company trucks have navigation in them?
Ok just wondering what if i bring a 3ds it a handheld device
I heard coolers were adventages? Just not on the trainers truck?
Depending on your trainer, the ONLY space you'll have is that top bunk. You won't have space for a cooler. It's nice to have when you're in your own truck, but don't bring this with your trainer.
If you bring more than a large duffel and a backpack you've brought too much. Not only will bringing too much stuff annoy your trainer, but you'll find that it's gonna annoy you too. You aren't going out with your trainer on vacation, you're there to work. Expect long hours and very little break time. You shouldn't need anything more for entertainment than your smart phone and maybe a small tablet with a set of ear buds. While I'm on that subject, be sure to pack some 12V chargers for those small electronics. Also, if you're a smoker and have a smoking trainer then you should bring your own cupholder ash tray.
How can I request you to be my trainer?
Little Trucker I'm on a dedicated Route now, so not training. Mom is sick, so need to stay closer to home
Bring boy scout handbook
No mouthwash with alcohol. DOT will get you for that?
What about dumbbells to work out?
You could bring elastic workout bands. They pack up very small
can truck drivers carry hand sanitizer?
I have a quick question I was told I need to get prescription glasses before it going into truck driving as I cannot see that well far but I could see up close would you recommend giving the progressive lens or just a straight vision for far...
if you can read the eye chart at the DMV your fine, reading glasses will not be accepted, do the safe thing and have your eyes checked, besides you need to do it for the public not just for yourself
Wass up fool, how you been Chad?
Cristian Rosales great!
Why mouth wash with no alcohol?
They cant have any type of alcohol. Even if its just mouthwash. They want you to be very safe while driving. Better to be safe than sorry.
Do you need steel toe boots?
You seam so sweet😊💕
My husband is sweet, our daughters and I love him, we’re truly blessed
Sorry if it don’t stink wear it again! 🤣
Laundry bag bro!
😀
I hope the trainer is cool if.not hahaah will see
it isnt your truck son
Shower flip flop a must! Soap&shampoo some of these nasty truckers smell and don't take showers regularly! Stink,stunk
