I just finished my training with Werner and was assigned my first truck. I got my first load home and took some home time. I didn't expect a paycheck this week, but I ended up getting a 200 dollar new driver incentive. When I turned in my trip pack on Wednesday, I put in it my certificate for the 500 dollar training bonus. Will I get it or is the new driver incentive what I'm getting instead? Just curious if anybody has had experience with the new driver incentive pay.
thanks

I assume nobody has had experience with this situation. I'll update this when I find out next Friday if I have access to the internet. About to go back on the road in the morning.

The $500 training bonus that my son got was for completing the entire training with out taking any hometime,he doesn't know about a new driver incentive.He got the $500 2 weeks after testing out.
kanidana Thanks this. -
Thanks for the input. I did my training without a break as well. I just wasn't sure what that driver incentive was, but I did get a certificate for the 500 dollars so I'll take them at their word because they've paid consistently and on time so far. I guess I'm just a bit nervous because of my current home situation.

Got my bonus. They've been keeping me pretty busy, but I'll tell ya the per diem pay makes all of the difference because my miles haven't been that good, but my bring home pay has been decent. My highest week was the second week out solo, I got about 2300 miles. Last week, I got about 1300 miles and my paycheck wasn't much less. My trips have mostly been between 180 to 350 miles per trip. Even though I prefer long runs, being kept busy is a good thing. Anyhue just thought I'd update for anybody that might be interested.

Any idea of what that $200 was? I've got a feeling it was just the leftover weekly pay from what part of thhe pay period you tested out in, but thhats out the window if your online settlement had 4 zeros with the word "bonus" next to it.
Also, don't worry about the short runs you're getting now. Any good dispatcher will give new drivers shorter runs while they're testing their limits. Keep calling the driver placement hotline every week to see if they have a nice longhaul dedicated account open. -

Werner drivers, I was accepted to Werner and was due to go to orientation for the DG account last Monday. I didn't go because I had a question with my MVR report. When I got my CDL MVR report, it states no traffic convictions or accidents in the last three years, but it was issued on 10/28/2011. I had tickets before this that are less than three years old. Will they be transferred over to my CDL? Its been two months now and nothing is showing. I would hate to go to orientation just to be sent back home. Any comments?
