Is It Normal To Wait A While For A Trainer?

Just out of curiosity did anyone else get stuck at the hotel waiting for a trainer after orientation? I just got done with my orientation at WE and have been stuck at the hotel for over a week,waiting over a week for a trainer. It's a little frustrating and stressful since I'm not getting paid and have bills that are due, Western dosent pay for orientation. Has anyone else been through this situation before? Hopefully I will get word on Monday with what's going on

It happens more now then it used to, due to covid some trainers have chosen to stop training for a while plus the holidays.

Also it is the holiday season. Yes you may have to wait. It socks they do t pay..prime didn't pay but advanced us money to pay back. Good luck

Ok at WE it happens all the time. They use covid as an excuse like they still use the tornado as an excuse for everything. But that was happening before covid and the tornado. The dms the offices dont want to take you off the road to do the trainer training. It took them 2 months to get me in and over two of still not having a trainee i said forget it.

I'd definitely give them a 'shout' tomorrow. Tell them you need 'layover' or 'detention' pay. Can't hurt, even though it may not help!

I know I had to wait another three or so days longer than the rest of my group for my trainer. Between weather delays and running out of hours he wasn't able to meet up with me until the next week. Not getting paid wasn't great, but at least I left the hotel recharged and ready to go.

I had to wait for two weeks. I asked for a non-smoking trainer with a manual transmission truck. I got the non-smoker but his truck had an automatic transmission.

If possible I’d try and draw unemployment benefits.

How would that happen if the person is employed?
