Mentorship

My mentorship period is dragging.
Not the fault of my mentor, not my fault.
The company and the communication has just been really abysmal.

Today marks the end of my 4th week out here with my mentor. I've switched between several trucks and had to go with another mentor for a week because my current one was taking a vacation.

I'm not getting consistent answers from the company regarding anything and we're both getting worn out because he wants his home time and I want to get my own truck. He just keeps getting told I need more hours and the amount changes week to week. I'm his first student and he's considering not doing mentoring after this because of how much headache it's been for both of us. We both agree I'm ready. Terminal disagrees. It doesn't help that the runs on this account are 5 hours one way at most. Between getting bounced around so much between trucks and mentors and being dicked around by our contacts in the company we're just being burned out.

 

It keeps changing.
At first it was 120, then 150, now it's 180.

I also never went through any kind of orientation. It was from their program to obtain my CDL, then waiting two weeks, now 4 weeks with a mentor.
