My fiancee is going out as a company driver for Prime. I'm helping him pack for his truck, having gotten packing lightly down to an art form. He's got an APU, small microwave and fridge. I know to pack his favorite foods and snacks, including as many non-perishable items as possible since his fridge is tiny. I plan to buy him more groceries just before he gets home from a run, so he can take them on his next run and not waste home time at the grocery store.
I plan to get him two of everything (shower bags, dirty laundry bags, clean laundry bags) and send him out with one of each. When he gets home with all his dirty laundry and used-up personal care supplies, he can then pick up the other set, which I will have packed for him while he's away. That way he does not have to spend any of his home time doing laundry or packing for the next run.
Shower bag packing list:
-Shampoo
-Comb
-Facial cleanser
-Shave gel
-Razor & extra blades
-Aftershave lotion
-Toothbrush, toothpaste, dental plackers, mini bottles of mouthwash
-Deodorant
-Qtips
-Nice fluffy towel
-Shower sandals (in plastic bag so they don't get other stuff wet)
-Soap & airtight soap dish (yes he still uses bar soap, blech)
-rolled up plastic bags to transport dirty clothes
Other personal care items I'm packing:
-Clothes (obviously)
-Dry shampoo for days he can't take a shower
-Face cleaning wipes, again for days he can't shower
-Chapstick
-Hand sanitizer
-Small packets of tissues
-Small waste bin
-Blankets, pillow, sheets
He'll also have his laptop. He loves to read, but finishes books so fast and likes to read several at a time that I've gotten a present for him: a new Kindle Fire and I plan to fill it with the kinds of books he likes to read.
Does anyone have any suggestions for items that I've left out?
Also, we're used to being in constant contact 24/7, either in person or by phone/text/IM. How can I help keep him from getting bored or lonely? I have no concerns whatsoever about the truck stop *****s, we are just going to miss each other.
