Yep, you got to put up with crap to start. You should have just got a motel and enjoyed yourself. From what I understand, Swift will pay for you a motel while your mentor is taking time off or while you are waiting for a truck...
-
Yes I will be in a hotel for thanksgiving since my mentor is going on hometime for that time but I had thought about that when I signed up for orientation so it wasn't a big surprise to me
-
How did you get them to do that my mentor told me i had to pay for the motel at 105 a night
-
Your mentor is supposed to get a PO for the hotel, pay for it upfront and they get reimbursed. You should never have paid a cent yourself. $105 a night is more than Swift will pay back so he probably didn't want to go to a different hotel or get stuck with it himself. Oh and this is trucking so not getting home for holidays can pretty much be expected when you are new. Not trying to be mean but it is what it is.
-
as far as the home time i knew i would not be home ive been an otr driver befor i just did not have the money for the hotel and at that time mentor did not tell me swift would put me in a hotel i just found that out and now every thing is good got a new mentor and i go back out monday
-
Any mentor that is shady enough to try and get you to cover the hotel is probably not worth staying with anyways. Hopefully the new one is better.
-
I agree with Neal someone that shady shouldn't be training

Good luck dude, keep yourself positive, and youll be solo in no time.
