Werner
I called werner the other day because I am planning to go to CDL school in February. I was interested in werner's apprenticeship program because I could draw on my G.I. bill for a year which I think would equal an extra $8500 tax free for the first year on top of regular mileage pay. I don't remember the name of the recruiter I talked to but he was one of the most rude people I have talked to in a very long time. I just marked them off my list of companies to apply to even to get started.

It does seem that OTR company recruiters are a lot like military recruiters. They tell you what you want to hear but not of the bad things are discussed.

Yes that is the norm, for large training companies, weiner,crengland, and swift-which has a lot of truth in the name. But you gotta start somewhere. And sometimes you get lucky and get a good trainer, those are kinda rare, cuz good trainees are not always abundant. i had one guy freak out about being away from his sweetie before we left terminal. My pick for best to start with is Crete/Shaffer, but they are picky and you'd better like the east coast.

to be fair, i have met drivers that loved working for Swift, Weiner and even CR England, that loved it. Even those that have worked for other co's.
i even met a happy driver on his second lease with Prime- proof that it takes all kinds to fill up this world. And yes he was intelligent, dispite who he worked for...... Cuz
