    Make sure you pay your loan off.

    Read the fine print, Carefully. Swift is notorious with collections on student loans. They are now using a law firm to go after those who aren't paying back.

    You aren't driving the tractor, you are driving the trailer.

    Good luck.

    Ramen requires cooking. Better to plan an uncooked diet while training, unless your mentor has a microwave (unlikely unless he is an owner/operator) or has a 12v cooking apparatus. Bread and sandwich fixings, fruit, and maybe some vegetables. If the trainer has a refrigerator or cooler be COOL about how much space you take. I had trainees that wanted to dominate the space in my cooler. Stops at Walmart should be part of the routine.
