    Curiosity has gotten the best of me tonight. I feel as if I would learn more from a lady trainer seeing as how I make better friends with women, but seeing the horror stories posted on here about waiting for a mentor for weeks is making me reconsider my training preferences!

    They do have women but you really might have to wait. I went with a male and we have our moments but we are on a learning curve of each of our quirks. I was not picky except for the smoking thing. And I had met my mentor a day before orientation ended.

    i had a lady trainer. we got along good but man, when her blood pressure rose. look out. and that happened a lot.

    i didn't stick it out and went to another company. but 13 years later. i wouldn't have had it any other way. my next team driver was a guy and that was the worst 6 months of my life. solo ever since.

    Whats all this stuff about having to wait for a trainer? I got coded last week but I opened my stupid mouth and told them I needed a couple days back home to get my stuff. I haven't heard back since. Any advice??

    Advice? Call the terminal at your earliest convenience. Make sure they didn't forget about you.

    I'd call them everyday until you got on a truck. There are female mentors, just few and far between.

    not really pick and choose just tell them your preference for smoking and non smoking. And they ask you male or female. But if you do say you want the same sex trainer you have to say why you are opposed to the opposite sex as a trainer.
