    ok, got through and told them at this point I don't really care if my mentor is a smoker or not, just want to get going. They put a note on my file and was told maybe in the next few days, so we will see...

    I heard that it is an even longer wait on flat bed mentors. I forget where I read that though. Pretty sure it was on this forum somewhere.

    Let me know if that speeds things up. I might do the same if this drags out to much longer.

    OK, just got off the phone with Swift.

    Flat bed waiting time depends on what You ask for about a mentor ( smoking/non-smoking, so on ). The waiting time is about a week or so.

    For the Mentor training. You have to be a solo driver for 1 Year after starting Your solo to be able to go to classes for being a mentor..
     
    dragonmatrix Thanks this.

    Just got off phone with swift. Recruiter sez in Fontana, CA wait time is less than 1 week. They have new mentors finishing this week with no newbie class until 11-9-10, I am scheduled for that date. Hopefully, no long wait time according to them in Cali unless there is a backup.
     
    dragonmatrix Thanks this.
