    Finished orientation in Fontana on Aug.19th, whole class sent home to wait for mentor's. Called to check in on monday as requested, didn't even ask for my driver number. Just said no one from the class has gone out yet. My question is how long have you all waited before getting assigned a mentor?

    Just remember, in the trucking world, "kaka happens". Or to quote a famous general "No (battle) plan survives contact with the enemy".

    It is frustrating how many things are out of your control in this business. Plan well, but make sure to learn to accept what you can't change. Just something to help you keep your peace of mind.:biggrin_25525:

    Well the kaka get deeper, mentor's prostar is down hard. Guess the prostar's have ecu electrical problems, and Int. doesn't have any reliable replacement parts yet. He is trying to get a loaner truck. I will try to keep smiling...
