Mentor

Hey guys and gals!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I’m sitting home waiting for my company to find me a non-smoking mentor. They are paying base training pay while I wait. It’s already been a week. I wanted to have my 200 hours done by Christmas.

That's cool that you're getting paid! Hope they can get you out there ASAP. Keep us up to date and good luck! =)

My student has been waiting for over a week for me. I have been stuck due to lack of freight movement over Thanksgiving weekend. I feel for you.

Try to be patient as best you can. I had to wait for a non-smoking Swift Mentor for 7 days and required another bus ride from PA to Greer SC.

I hope so too. Thanks

I’m cool. Just anxious. I HATE the bus though. lol.

Yup. I figured it would be kinda slow this week. It didn’t help that I am a non-smoker either.

When I trained with West Side they called me in and asked me if I was ok with a smoking trainer as a non smoking one wasn't available, I wanted to get my 4 weeks over with. so I accepted a smoking trainer and got lucky he was really respectful about it, and basically only smoked hanging out the window.

When I was asked I said I didnt care although I dont smoke. I figured I would get out sooner that way and if my mentor smoked I would only have to put up with the smoke a few weeks. I got lucky and got a non-smoker anyways fairly quickly. As you mentioned, at least you are getting paid while you wait. My mentor takes a lot of home time but at least I am still getting paid for his home time!

I wouldn't care, but I'm trying to quit. Again.
