    I been waiting on a trainer since Friday, but this getting nerve wrecking just sitting. I called my driver manager but no answer at all. I'm starting to think about other companies. Any I should look at that will train me?

    You should stay where you're at otherwise you'll be on the hook for the tuition-a couple two or three days waiting for trainer is normal- friend of mine waited a whole week-are you in Fontana or SLC?

    SLC. Money getting low I can't even get my orientation pay until I get a trainer. But I feel you.

    I got mine the next day after getting my class a license. They told me it'd take a week, but that night I went back to the hotel room I got a call and was told to pack all my crap up and to jump on the shuttle to the terminal in the morning to leave with my trainer. This was in Fontana, and everyone that were finishing before me I was told that they were all being sent to SLC to wait for a trainer there since there were none in the Fontana area and it was near impossible to get one out of the area. Guess I got lucky.

    You've been waiting since Friday? It's Monday, the next business day after Friday.

    Just relax, it will happen.

    From Fontana? Or Salt Lake City? Didn't know they were willing to pay for a plane ticket for anyone, thought that fun and exciting Greyhound bus was their preferred method of transport.
