    Were you fired or just sent home for Thanksgiving?

    How 1 complains can also make a difference as to whether you get a new trainer or are sent home. The circumstances involved can also make a difference. There are always 2 sides!

    The O/P "complained" about her first mentor, then shortly went onto a second mentor's truck. That one didn't work out either, so she "complained" again. Now, she is on her third mentor, which puts the lie to your statement.

    Who did you irritate?

    There is a major difference between complaining because you don't like your mentor, and complaining about your mentor being unsafe/not following company policy.

    Maybe driver7702003 should be on the phone with Driver Services in Ocala and ask whether he will be going out with the same mentor, a different mentor or if he has a job. Looking at the timing of it, I would guess he's just being sent home for Thanksgiving so he doesn't have to spend the holiday in his mentor's truck, parked in some truck stop, on some street somewhere or at the terminal. The provided details are somewhat lacking.
