 Got Pre Hired at Werner I just got out of school and got my cdl's filled out some applications and the only one that has called is werner and they want me to come to orientation on friday. I dont know if I should take this one or wait it out for a couple of weeks, I have heard both good and bad about them. What do you all think I should do Im only 21 and I live in Cincinnati ohio  |

| I'd probably jump at it for nothing else than to get my feet wet. This job market and the fact you are green are against you.

| I worked for Werner for a year and half. They are not bad...I know others will say differently, but they hire drivers with no experience. You have to start somewhere. You have a benefit of living in Ohio. A lot of their freight is in that area of the country. |

| Congrats on the CDL, BigI! You will hear a lot of negative about Werner, but there are some positive stories here, too. I read them when considering Werner, too, but I know too many former Werner drivers. Maybe your experience will be quite different. You have to start somewhere at 21, so just be ready to suck it up for at least 6 months. BTW, if you wanted to wait a little longer, please believe that you can. I was pre-hired with Werner back in April, and I just stopped getting messages in my voicemail this month, but I did get a postcard two weeks ago. I'd still encourage you to read a little more about Werner on this board to make a more informed decision. Chatting at truck stops won't hurt either. Good Luck!
