    So far I really like Werner I'll see if I still do once I go solo but so far I haven't sat more than my 10 hours or in this case my 34 hour reset. I love the paperless logs and loving the miles. I only have 17 hours left of my training which I'm going to try to get 10 hours in tomorrow and like 8 in the next day. Good luck with swift.

    U make 350/week minus taxes they deduct everything after 45 days I think tuition is paid if u stay with them for 8 months so you don't pay that

    Hi all, guess i am suppose to be coming to C R, IA or training since it has been more than 60 days since i have been out of driving school. They say I need to come to refresher course.. Im waiting for my recruiter to get back to me with bus info, don't know why they aren't sending me to the Pa site since it is closer to me, cheaper for them also since it wouldn't cost them the bus ticket that i suppose I am going to end up having to pay for anyway. Any info as to what I should expect? Thanks
