Werner Enterprises, Inc. - Omaha, Ne.?

Dont jump into bed with the first company. Do a little research on the different forums on Werner and check them out better......Look into CFI,Roehl,Crete-------------Crete is a good company....Wonderman

 

Crete will accept you if your if your school qualifies,160 hours just call them, most companies have some kind of training peogram use the comparison pages available on the web........have cdl need training........wonderman

 

Wonderman is correct, do some research. the companies he mentioned are good starters, good carriers. I have a friend that drives for CFI and has for years. She won't be leaving any time soon. Good luck to you.

 

Dont jump into bed with the first company.


i can only "somewhat" agree with that statement. i have personally witnessed some new students "playing the game of let me see who else will be interested in me", and they lost a job as no other trucking company displayed any interest, or another trucking company hired on drivers with either higher grades, better attendance, or willinglness to go over the road, or just plain ol' "first come-first served" applications...........


its not a game i would whole -heartedly play at this time, right out of the starting gate. once an application is made, and a job offer is presented, the "new" student driver should indeed "jump" right onto it. there's no telling if an application will be accepted elsewhere's, and then you're jobless, with a student loan to pay off.

plus, the longer anyone waits to "play the game", the longer it'll be that you'll be driving, making it possible that another company will make you go back to school for several days (or weeks) to be re-trained, as you haven't been on the road.

play "that game" only when you have several years of experience like me.........18, and counting...........

 

Hey, Pro, are you still thinking of going with Werner? I still believe that's a good deal for you. Ugly paint scheme on the trucks, but dedicated runs & higher pay more than make up for it, eh?

 

No comments on Werner,but if you are comfortable with them, go with them and get some experience.Almost all trucking cos.are looking to hire drivers,so you are not tied to one co.You just might decide to stay with Werner.Good luck
