Packing for a trip across the country isn’t particularly difficult in nature. Clothes, money, and a toothbrush might be all it takes to get some people from point A to point B. But when it comes to professional truck driving jobs, there’s a little more artistry to preparing your Bay and Bay Transportation truck for long distance. You have to account for limited space and minimal time, so here are some little items that will get you to and from your home in Columbus, OH, as comfortably as possible.
#1: Chargers
This may seem less important than the devices that they charge, but laptops, phones, and game systems won’t get you too far if you don’t have any way to keep them kicking. Truck driving may keep you on the move, but with all of your gadgets charged up, it won’t leave you tech-deprived.
#2: Sunglasses
And not just any sunglasses. Good ones. Truck driving jobs require consistent observation and constant navigation. Your eyes are two of the best tools you have. Invest in a comfortably fitting pair of effective sunglasses to prevent eye strain, glare, and headaches while you’re on the road. Make sure you pick a pair that doesn’t pinch your temples or your nose and you’ll be good to go.
#3: Toiletries
Deodorant, toothpaste, and soap might seem like all you need, but if you’re going to be on a truck driving job for more than a couple of days, try to include some low-end luxuries as well. A brand of toilet paper you prefer, some soothing aftershave or lotion, a soft washcloth, or even just a nice smelling body wash can make a grungy afternoon feel more like a vacation day. Feeling clean and smelling fresh can also help boost your mood, even in small doses.
