    I am getting ready for my orientation and training. The orientation is no big deal just looking for ideas on food while training. He has a small refrigerator no freezer, a hot logic mini and a rice cooker. Any ideas

    Bring cash, split grocery bill, eat what he eats. He knows what fits and how to make it.

    Otherwise, loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter goes a long way.

    My Step Son went through this, he ate quite a few hot dogs, 2 for $3. He could not afford a sit down, that is easily $15, Subway was a treat... To stay kind of happy out here, figure $20 a day for food, unless your trainer is feeding you... But, I think those days are long gone. Don't know what to tell you. Myself, I bet I spend easily $30 a day, not including smokes. Around $70 a week at Walmart for food in the truck. So, figure $200 a week to eat out here, but that is just me.

    Oh, the Step Son, he quit trucking after a month on the road. He has not looked back.

    Do you know who your trainer is going to be? If so talk to him.
