Whats A Rookie To Bring
Topic 3259 | Page 2
Hey Brett,could you make a detailed list of what us rookies are to bring ,say our first five weeks OTR ing.That would be great you know with a trainer,shower caddy flip flops for shower right down to clothing?technology what we need for that type stuff all the goodys
I don't know if it's been recommended already, but crocs make excellent shower shoes OTR. With a towel they dry off very easily. It's a great investment for a few bucks.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Make sure you have atleast one bottle handy before you head out. You may need to use it during your pre-trip...
You may also see a similar message pop up before your pre-trip...
You should see a tank similiar to this one under the hood...
This is how TruckingTruth does a list:

Sorry this old thread was revived. Someone came in placing links to their own website so I got rid of that and updated it with our latest additions above.
