I lived near the school, but kinda know about the accomidations.

1. Ususually hotel or dorm style, 2 people per room.

2. Durring school breakfast and dinner provided. You will need $$ for lunch.

3. Sleeping bag, pillow, cloths(1 week worth). Pack light lots of t-shirts, underwear, and socks.

4. For school minimum of $100 a week if you are frugal.



Training....

same supplies as above...

1. Now you will have some access to $$$ via the training pay.

2. Non smoking trainers unusually better.

3. Listen to trainers and stick it out reguardless of how crappy the trainer might be. HOWEVER, if you think the trainer is dangerous or being inappropriate, you can call terminal manager.

4. Always insist the trainer spots you, when backing.


It will be luck of the draw on the trainers, some are smart, and show you how to set up the truck to be able to prepare your own food, some want to eat out every night, and some dont eat much at all.

Is that even legally possible for one person. Even if you ran 7 days thats over 740 miles a day. Now a team would be no problem.
