Is This Normal??

So I been in a hotel room for the past 6 days now cuz my trainer went on home time last Saturday but he got back on his truck 2 days ago. He's a lease operator. He got a load yesterday morning but it was cancelled. I been training with him for 2 weeks and it seems like we get loads but then they get cancelled. First week the truck did about 5000 miles, 2nd week we did 3400 miles which in my research is low for a team trucks. But my concern is that my driver manager says that I'll get layover pay for having to wait so many days at no fault of mine. They say 100 for the 1st 48 hours and then 100 for every following 24 hours. Now I'm new but this sound a little to good to be true. The company is paying for my room plus giving me 100 a day in compensation. I've ask the driver manage 3 times about this and he reassured me that I'll get paid for all this "waiting time.". So my question is....is this normal in trucking?....is my driver manager telling me the truth??

 

I don't wanna say the company name but it's mega carrier..."team driving" is the norm for them tho.

 

This trainer is my 2nd trainer. The 1st trainers truck broke and I waited also for a week in the case then they finally found this current trainer I'm assigned to. When I asked about getting another trainer, the company say I'm lucky to have a trainer because they have a "trainer shortage."

 

Yes I was thinking about going lease when the opportunity presents itself but I think I'm definitely NOT wanting to with this company. Cause my mentor seems frustrated with them constantly cancelling his loads.
