    i turned in the my papers on how the trainer did. but swift needs trainers so bad that they just turn and look the other way. on the motel i called phonixs that night trying to find out what to do get a p o or something cause the shop was closing down we needed to go. they said couldn't help us so go ahead get a room talk to her dm the next day. i did get my 149.00 for the motel in medford but she turned in the po's number under her driver code so the money goes to her and then she is to pay me. i have kind of wrote off the scale tickets 4 of them and the other motel for 49.00 and parking 12 and windshield fluid 6. i did go up today to troutdale and passed my drive test which i new i would and the paper test but i couldn't do the simerlator very long made me spin spin spin. thanks for everyones advice. i'm glad i saved money to have if i needed anything. let alone have to pay my mentors way also. it was one of the smartest thing i did was put 5000 away for a rainy day. oh almost forgot they do not have a truck now for me till next week. i just love this hurry and wait. but there are a lot of people who have been sitting in the yard for 5 days now. i would rather be home sitting. everyone have a great new year.

    Why did you give her the receipts if you paid for the room? You did at least keep the originals?

    Gawd! The things some of these mentors pull on their students!

    The repercussions I was talking about involve those who take issue with anyone who makes any negative comment about their beloved company. I'm not saying there isn't any positive about the company, just that some can't handle the fact that they work for a company that has a bad rep. And no, I was only kidding about you working for them.

    Your experience sounds so much like my husband's, it's uncanny. He would buy his students a present upon graduating to solo status and always gave them his cell phone # in case they needed continued guidance. Any trainer worth his weight is going to wonder if they did enough for their students. My hat's off to you.
    I would say not much has changed by the threads I read. :biggrin_25512:

    And as far as the patent goes? It always pays to cover your ###. :biggrin_25525:


    I agree 100% that it's not just Swift, but many companies have substandard training. And within each of these companies there is a handful of trainers who have a sense of pride in their work and want to turn out a student who has the qualifications to drive that truck and make the highways more safe as a result of their training experience.

    Me too! It just so happens my son just finished brewing a pot. I'm a coffee-holic You're welcome to have a cup of coffee with my husband and I anytime you're in the area.
