and this is why they end up with drivers that have no clue really how to drive. when i went to werner i had no idea what i was doing. i have gained some experience since then and am better then i was. im now gaining experience working locally. the more seat time i get the better i get. the werner trainer was a poor trainer and the truck an automatic. it took me driving locally for a while on manual trucks to really get the shifting down. i first got on the werner truck and when i discovered it was an automatic my reaction was, your kidding me right? i need to learn to shift well and you people put me in an automatic. i had no intention of staying with that company anyways. as soon as local doors opened i jumped, and i mean as soon as. now im driving a class B dump truck usually. the truck is an eaton 8 speed manual and i can finally shift the truck well. basically school taught me the absolute basics of shifting, but to really get it down took me driving in my assigned manual truck for a while by myself.

There is a reason no one wants to work for CPM anymore it's a scam designed by the rich to get richer. Wisen up and learn. Fight for Hourly Pay and Time 1/2 W2 Pay ONLY!!

It's not letting me edit my post again. So I'll put this here. I looked at my last 10 or so checks and my average pay posted is actually a bit higher than I though. My average pay with USX is about $700/wk at $.39/mile right now. Don't know why I was thinking it was around $850 or $900...maybe I inflated what I thought was my average pay to not make myself feel so bad. Obviously that's a horrible avg. pay for 2.5 yrs of experience. Jesus. Currently looking for a new company. I have gotten some suggestions from you guys, especially Chinatown. Thanks a bunch. Making a move this summer.
