Werner - Teaming get me a truck sooner?

Werner likes teams - trust me it will HELP.

 

My hubby for some reason doesn't want to go back otr. This makes me sad, as I have not really fully got OTR out of my system but I also can't honestly do OTR myself. Unless someone teaches me to back better then I can there is NO WAY I can. Hubby fails on the teaching me to back thing, no matter how hard I nagged he never did it except 3 times. He always wanted to back, and that was a key issue with why we sucked as a team, cause he ALWAYS had to back.

 

i think Werner, as with most companies you need to run solo for the first 3 months if your a new driver out of school, you may want to call them and ask that question.
and it would be nice if you let others no here.
good luck with your plans with runnig with werner.

 

Na they will let them team right out of training.

Look at it this way they have two people that can run the loads fast for cheap vs a solo driver taking more time to do the same run and using more fuel for idleing.

You tell me which one werner would rather have a truck that is moving 24 hours a day or one that moves 11 - 14 hours a day.

 

When you go to Indy do yourself a favor and bring some can goods and a fork and spoon. The rooms (almost all) have a refridge and microwaves in them. If you dont then you have to eat at Bennigans at the hotel or Popeys across the street. Both of which can get expensive and what ever you have left when your trainer hooks up with you just take out on the road. I was there for 5 days and got sick of eating snickers candy bars and drinking coke from the vending machines. When i was at the ramada in indy for werner I talked to a lot of trainees and guys that where there to test out. And this is what i can tell you from first hand knowledge. The dozen or so trainees I talked to said that after they got thier 300 hrs. Thier SDM told them that they had to do another 50 or 60 hrs. Why? because werner can. The guys waiting for thier truck were told "go out with a trainer for 400 a week or go home with no pay. If you go home and it last for 30 days it goes down as a voluntary quit so your kinda over a barrel.

 

And to answer your question about teaming. Yes it will help. Werner loves teams, thats why you and your trainer will team drive right out of orientation. He'll give you about 5 hours a day for 3 days (maybe) then its 100% team
