@@captain.john. Hey bro I leave in about a week to Prime in Salt Lake. Regarding the attire how do they want you to dress? I’m more of a baggy style clothes guy so should I cut down on some sizes that I usually wear?
@@captain.john. Cool thanks brother. I just bought me some luggage so I’m going through the things I’m needing. Glad I came to your vids. Been studying like crazy with pre trip and all that “fun” stuff.
For soap and tooth brush, I use a small hand towel for each. Wrap the soap in a hand towel when you're done with the shower. Leave it out to dry when u get back or just toss it in your bag and it will dry on its own. (I don't use the towel in the shower, I just use it to hold the soap. )
Smart on the extra clothes. I found laundry to be an extreme pain in the ass during TNT. I started gaining more and more clothes towards end of TNT so that I didn’t have to do laundry until at terminal. Sucks doing it at truck stops. Now that I team with my better half we carry a full wardrobe and can go a month without laundry. That way we just do it all at home. Bring extra socks and undies. That will extend your wardrobe a LONG way because, like you said the time you’re going in you aren’t going to be sweating much. Having fresh undies and socks keeps everything else cleaner for longer and can extend each outfit a day or two. I showered every other day in TNT and because I trained in winter I could wear the same pants for a lot longer than I expected.
Also, I went in thinking I would wear each outfit less like you. But I found that if I gave myself a really good baby wipe-wipe down every day when I hit the sack my shirts and pants stayed pretty clean. And I changed undies and socks almost daily. I like to feel and smell clean so that was a huge objective.
Thanks for the shout out, that was awesome! 😊 I love this video. So many have asked me this but I didn't start my vlog until the day before orientation. This will help a lot of people. Mind if I use it in my channel and edit in clips with additional suggestions and comments?
I’m starting my career at Prime October 19th! I’m so excited and nervous all at the same time. JJ the trucker referred me to your videos and they have been a big help so far. Hope we meet sometime, you seem like a good family man, I know the biggest and hardest part of my journey is going to be leaving the fam.
Nice! So far I'm happy with them. Keep me posted on your progress. If you haven't yet, use my driver code as a referral CLJOHN that would help me out! Tell them John Clary sent you.
Hey John I used your code when I applied for Prime Inc and I was accepted to go to the Orientation to Springfield Missouri. Currently I’m still waiting for Dustin (recruiter) to give me the rental car and hotel. If all goes well I’m gonna be leaving tomorrow. Can’t wait to be part of the Prime Inc family 🙏
That's so awesome thank you and congratulations! Keep me posted on your progress. Once you get into your own truck I get the referral bonus and I'll send you a trucker John hat.
Going to fly to cdl school should I get those little hygiene products that are clear to take on a plane or wait till I land and go get hygiene products since school and otr will be like 4 weeks?
I don't see why not. Call my recruiter and tell him I sent you. Give him my driver code CLJOHN. [Name] Ryan Prime Recruiter [Mobile] (801) 977-5922 [Home] (918) 328-3982
Becareful with PRIME Inc. they are deceitful in their practices....make sure you pick a good used truck that still has a warranty and see what the payments are.....
I can see why you think people are deceiving you when they aren't... You don't listen. John clearly said he wasn't going lease, he was going company, so your advice (that I don't agree with) doesn't apply. Go back under your bridge, troll.
Hey Trucker John, Just getting ready to head off to orientation. I was wondering if you have any updates for this video. Is there anything you wish you brought? Anything you would add now that we're heading into winter? I'm trying to avoid bringing too much but don't want to go without either. Let me know. Thanks again for all of the quality content.
Yes I've switched out all of my clothing to winter attire. Good question and I'll be sure to mention this in an upcoming video. If you bring shower shoes make sure they don't absorb water.
Thank you for this, I start classes on Monday & I was stressssssing about what to pack lol!! Stay blessed & stay safe !!

@@rupertcharlton6232 nice!
Don’t forget the most important thing to pack is a butfor.
Not falling for it
What’s A Butfor 🤣🤣

@@captain.john. cool dat! Also wondering is there are any Filipino trucker drivers working for Prime Inc 🤔?
I'm sure there is
@@captain.john. lol I might be the first one 🤣…. History making👍
@@ega0117 😆
Best of luck
Thanks Robert
Was it a hard decision to become a trucker? It's a totally life changing experience it seems. You are leaving your whole world behind.
Being away from family is the toughest part. Need to sacrifice for a better life sometimes.
Toe thong sandals are prone to tear when they get wet regularly in a shower. Shower slides are better
Do you think I can take a 29" luggage w/ rollers, I can fit everything in there instead of different bags. Approx. 29" H x 13.5" W x 7.5" D
I've seen others do that. Just remember it has to fit in the top bunk and you have to sleep with it at your feet.
Nice
Please don't stop posting the process, the best of luck...
Going to fly to cdl school should I get those little hygiene products that are clear to take on a plane or wait till I land and go get hygiene products since school and otr will be like 4 weeks?
If I were flying I'd wait and buy items near the school.
@@captain.john. yeah cause I was like those little 3oz ain't going to last 4 weeks lol
So did this end up being too much stuff, or not enough, or just right? I ask because I'm starting orientation on Monday.
It was just right. I actually took more with me on tnt. Basically I added food and drinks.
@@captain.john., ok great. Thank you.
Thanks for the upload sir 👍🏽 do you by chance know if Prime would consider hiring/training a 21 year old?
I don't see why not. Call my recruiter and tell him I sent you. Give him my driver code CLJOHN. [Name] Ryan Prime Recruiter

@@captain.john. Yessir. Will do thanks once again
How long is the drive for you? Thanks for video
About 10 hours not including breaks
@@captain.john. oh ok I think I'm going to fly it would be 16 hours for me to drive
How long will you have to quarantine for if you fly?
@@captain.john. 5 days because I'm coming from Florida they said, took covid test and will test again as well
What type of bus did your drive?
MCI, Vanhool, Setra
👌
Did you bring boots and tennis shoes?
no boots just slip on shoes and shower slippers
@@captain.john. oh ok I thought we needed boots thanks

There always has to be that ONE.
