Thanks for the question! For orientation you need to wear your steel toes every day as you'll be back and forth a lot between the driving tests and the marshall building where all the loads are for securing. Now on the road training side, I only wear my steel toes, along with long pants, T-shirt and the PPE the shipper/receiver requires on their property, when I'm securing/unsecuring. While driving I wear comfortable sneakers as well as comfy clothes. Some shippers require all PPE to be worn, and some don't. But me personally, if it's a very busy area I'll wear all my PPE regardless of if it's required or not. You just have to be smart about your surroundings and exercise caution wherever you are! I gave you a long answer because if you make it through orientation, you'll go right to road training so I want to make sure you pack correctly. 😁

Oh and one more thing! I'm probably going to do a video on this but if you use a collapsible bag to pack your stuff, put your clothing in shopping bags. I say this because you'll be moving your bag from the bunk to the passenger seat every day(very tight living space for 2 people on these trucks lol). Before I started using the bags my clothes were being mixed up which made it a pita to find things. I roll all my clothes after doing laundry and separate them into the shopping bags. Boxers and socks go in one bag, work shirts and comfy shorts go in one bag, work pants have their own bag, and my workout and sleepwear go in their own bag. Since I started using this method, getting ready in the morning and prepping my shower bag to be ready to go are soooooo much easier and proficient!

Trying something new lol. The next reset we take I'm hoping there is a sports clips nearby so I can get it cleaned up and evened out 😁
