    I hear you, there maybe a wait either way. We check out of the hotel in the morning, see if we get a mentor. We were told there maybe a wait.

    Wouldn't be surprised. Ever since swift recently "re-structured" the mentor program I think there are less of them. Overall a good thing for training but obviously resulting in longer wait for one.

    I also am waiting for a mentor now. Completed orientation yesterday. Hopefully they will have one in the next couple of days.
    Hope to see you out on the road. :smt040

    Day 3 was more videos, etc. Some got coded some didnt, (I did) and all but 2 have to wait on a mentor. Im home now, did get a call today saying they are still looking. I do know they have a bunch of new mentors going to mentor class today and ends Friday, so we will see. This is a good time to see the wife and do some laundry to get ready to head out when they do call.

    Looks like there is a wait for either one right now because of all the hiring they are doing. I do think they are getting ready for the CSA 2010 program to take effect which will cause an instant need for drivers.

    Any word yet on your trainer? I had a call from Summer today, but missed it. Called her back and left a message, but haven't heard back yet. I did call awhile ago, and one of the other girls said it will most likely be next week.

    I got the same call, no trainer yet. Hurry up and wait. Did you get your drivers code?
