    Jeez,I hate reading stories like this,and see what these worthless companies are doing to well meaning people.Truly sad to see that a lot of the once proud workforce of American trucking has morphed into sweat shops on wheels.Good luck,bud,hope it works out for you.

    Lol. You're sure pushing Schneider. I'd like to save that card for when I really need it. I know Schneider will save your bacon. I've heard that over and over.

    Thanks, Doug. I had no idea it was like this out here. At PAM there wasn't any miles to be had and at Werner, I've got the miles, I just can't keep my truck out of the #### shop.

    NO-one is as bad as England, not even close. But before you attempt to jump ship, try to make sure you jump UPward the greatest distance.
    This is a double edged sword,, it's best if you "could" stick it out until you have 1 full year (total, PAM included), but IF werner is going to choke you out financially for the next 5 months, that leaves you no choice. Not good to have 3 jobs per year, but I do sympathize with your situ, and you gotta do what you gotta do, at times.

    What's your "vibes" on getting the truck running reliably? If they do finally get it roadworthy (not sure why it's down, again) then once you get back on some runs, it at least buys you time to look elsewhere. It's impossible to say if you're going thru a 2 week 'storm' with this breakdown, or if the 'storm' will soon pass, in that regard.

    You might want to give a holler to user Chinatown. He always has a list of companies/options, some I agree with more than others, but very insightful overall.
    I don't see him logged in right now, but he's always here. Shoot him a PM also.
    Hang in there,, don't lose hope.
     
    The_Dude Thanks this.

    I was only in a similar situation in January. No paycheck after December 21. I had to walk out 01/19 and take another drug test to get 1/2 of what I was owed.

    Werner is where I got my start just kept my nose clean for a year of experience and was gone. Only thing I could suggest is to try to get on some kind of dedicated it helped me when I was there. Best of luck to you sir.

    I'm pretty sure Crete will put you with a trainer again. But then they pay the trainees a lot. But then you have to find a place to stash the wife.
