    I am looking for your opinion. I have been pre-hired from both companies. Which one is better to start out with? They both sound good to me.
    Thanks

    Be pro-active and get more pre-hires. Don't just settle for the recruiters that come to your school or which direction the school points you with applications they have available. This is your life and career. YOU take charge of it, not just listen to a couple of recruiters. I would choose none of the above based on those two companies.
     
    The Challenger Thanks this.

    I believe that Werners has a much longer training period,which imo is a good thing for a completely new driver.My son has been w/ them since 1/3/11 and is enjoying his time there so far.His first trainer had been training guys for 6 years,2nd trainer was retired from UPS but went back to work w/ Werner training guys cause he was bored.

    i was a former werner driver for 6 months, i say us express, because if you have hazmat, us express pays more and werner doesnt pay you extra for hazmat! both comapanies have good trucks. bit i would lean towards us express. plus werners pay is low if you are a regional driver like me.
     
    engine312 Thanks this.
