Werner's Training.

I drove for Werner for 4 years, from 2000-2004. I went through their training program, ran 48 states, and finished with them on a dedicated Walmart Grocery account. Their training program is good, but you have to make sure you get a good trainer. They can be hard to find because a lot of them are just in it for the money, but they do have trainers who will take the time to work with you on areas you need to improve on. In regards to their equipment, they are currently running Freightliners, Kenworths, and Peterbuilts, all i think have 435 CAT engines, and 9 or 10 speed trans. I was happy with the way they maintained their equipment...but that is just me i am sure there are some horror stories out there. Right now they have a lot of new equipment because they bought up a lot of new trucks to avoid the new 2007 emissions engines for a while.

 

I have been in training for 5 weeks now, and both my trainers are #### good, very knowledgable, and very helpful. Just listen to them and do as they ask and you shouldn't have a problem. I ran dollar general dedicated out of Indianola Mississippi for 3 weeks, now I am otr with a Owner Operator. I have learned alot and really have no complaints outside of the money...but thats with all companies during training.

 

jacksonville, fla, my guess is navy. thats my original hometown...........

 

schooled at mtc .went to indiana for orientation left with trainer the day after . i have a very good trainer showing me alot and letting me get all drive time i need without log violation. i still think i made a good decision with werner

 

I'm scheduled for Werner in Ca on 2/11. They called to confirm today. Still have my doubts after reading all the posts here.

 

I've been trying to get as much education on trucking and trucking companies as I can. What is the deal on the DAC? and what is a decent price to pay for geeting a copy of it and to get if fixed if needed?

Thanks

 

Your goin to their school? Am I correct in assuming they only have a school in NE? Just wondering if they have more than 1 school--and how long does the schooling take do they say?

 

Give 'em time, you'll see.
