    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

    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.

    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.
