    The trainer was employed by Werner Enterprises. RIP 62 year old Ronald Ruiz.

    RIP Ronald Ruiz, I pray that God will give his employer the good sence to do right by this man! I read the comments at the end of the article linked in the first post, sounds like we lost a great man.

    Well, looks like we're going to have to lower trainer standards/requirements even more to keep the trainer openings at necessary levels what with all the BS. Also, will have to offer hazard pay in addition to other trainer bonus pay.

    I would require a 60 cents/mile to me [all miles], plus a $1,000 month trainer salary, plus driver longevity bonus money to even consider training.
