    He said he's been there for 8 years. Maybe he should buy a lottery ticket.

    I just got on the DG account and I get home every weekend. Sometimes I'll have to work a load, but then I'll go back to the house.

    Werner must have changed.When I was there the OTR drivers did more north east then any place else,did awhole lot of swapping and splitting and awhole lot of sitting waiting for drivers you're swapping with or just sitting waiting for a load.Lets not forget the dreaded Omaha term,sitting there for 2 or 3 days waiting for your red tagged trk to get worked on that did'nt need even to be worked on.All it really was is job security for the mechanics.

    So if any of you plan on driving for Werner,don't apply for OTR,they get the lesser of the miles out of everyone else.Far as making 75k in a yr,highly unlikely,not even as a trainer and deffinately not driving for Werner.

    here's what i did... got on a dedicated account and moved to the location of that account... every load is a home load... rent a car and go to the zoo when in omaha... treat down time as a vacation... frustration and misery have more to do with attitude than reality
