I don't watch these YouTube's .
Never can get more than about 30seconds in before I want to throw my phone out the window.
Here's a good rule of thumb though,
If you can , have at least three months of cash set aside for you fixed expenses.
Depending on your financial needs this should get you through training and to your first full check.
Yeah but I don't have a pot to pee in right now. That's why I'm going to truck school.
Tell everyone in a polite way to kiss your donkey cause you can't pay till you get your first check.
By a few jars of goobers and a couple loafs of bread and hit the road.Last edited: Oct 26, 2018

Not commenting because I disagree. I am commenting because I not only agree but will expand your advice to even after when you are working as an active driver. Try to keep enough money on you to get home from any place in the US. Think me being a bit foolish? Read this! If anybody thinks this can't happen to them, well no further comment!tscottme and driverdriver Thank this. -

Call your financial institution and see if they will extend your payment.
You might lay an extra fee or added interest but at least you will have a month free of a bill or 2.
Btw... I have done this. -
Also... I rarely carry cash. My debit card pays for everything

And also stay in contact with those you owe with updates to your progress.
