Thanks Chris for your input! Now I won't feel so bad if I show up with two bags! I'm sure no one has been sent home for overpacking!

Can any one give me an idea as to how big of a duffel bag or suitcase I should take to orientation? They say pack for 3 weeks but the bag can not exceed 50lbs. Plus bedding(sheets,blanket,sleeping bag) and rain gear(coat). Seems to me all this is quit a bit. Plus I'm taking a bus to the facility in Fontana,CA. Any help will be appreciated.

THAT particular GPS you can sell. It's a car GPS and will get ya in a load of trouble if you follow it due to truck routing restrictions. You will need to buy yourself a truck GPS. But until you get a truck gps you might keep and use that one but you will have to be careful and avoid areas that trucks are not allowed in.

Thanks for your input. I think I will sell it and wait till I can get a truck GPS. I doubt I will need my own while in training.

Hello! I didn't know where to get a quick response to a question I have so I'm trying here. I am a recent Truck School graduate and have my CDL. I have a phone interview with Schneider in a few days and hope to be driving soon. I have a GARMIN NUVI 755T CAR GPS. Do I need this gps for my future job? Reason I'm asking is because I have bills to pay and I would like to sell it. I'd appreciate any opinion on this matter. Thanks! John O.
