Needing some advice.

I just finished orientation last week and am excited and ready to get out with my trainer. I was supposed to be picked up today 6/11/2012. However my trainer is out of hours and is in Richfield until Tuesday. I understand that part if it but it don't sound like they are going to get him routed to get me picked up any time soon. At least that's what I understand after talking to him. I know my trainer is taking home time from the 22-26 and was talking about picking me up then but I really don't want to wait that long to leave. My question is should I call someone at Millis and arrange for a different trainer or see if they will be getting my trainer routed this way sooner to get me picked up or just suck it up and wait. Like I said I don't really want to wait that long but I don't want to step on any toes either. If I were to call who would I talk to? I know that Mike Millis is in charge of training but not sure if I should talk to him or ask for someone else. If any veteran driver out there who is also a trainer could please pass some advice on to me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and stay safe.

 

Him going on home time won't bother me at all. He lives very close to me so it works out for me also. I'm just not really hip on waiting until the 26th to go out. I just figured I could get a week and a half of training under my belt befor the 22nd. Anyway, thanks for the advice hopefully after his reset they get him down this way. Hell I'd even catch a ride with another driver to meet up with him in Richfield.

 

Thanks Baritone. I live just across the river from St Louis in Illinois. Which is where my trainer is from also. So like I said him going on home time doesn't bother me one bit cause I'll be home also. I'm just very anxious to get out there for training. I understand with freight and what not also. If I have to wait till the 26th then that is what I will do. Just wasn't sure if there were some other avenues to follow to get out sooner.

 

No his name isn't Norm. I don't want to put his name in here without permission. I agree the wait is horrible. I'm ready to get out there and learn and make some money. I was thinking about seeing if a millis driver was in St Louis and see about catching a ride to meet up with him.
