after reading this entire thread sounds to me you don't know what you want.Like someone else stated earlier I really don't think you know what you want.Like most of you new breed steering wheel holders I don't think you really want to drive a truck you are just in love with the idea of being a big time truck driver.listen as many people have said on here B4 this is not a job it is a lifestyle.yes you need to make money to live and these days it takes a hell of a lot of it.but if you ask any veteran drive why he stayed in trucking he will probably tell you that is all he knew his entire life,or like myself I can't stand to have walls around me or have someone physically watching over me all the time.this job is not about the big time money,or how fancy or fast of a truck you drive it is merely a life of which few have a tolerance for.as someone stated earlier crap or get off the pot.Truckin' ain't sissysBigarmin88 said: ↑Well here I go again,I attent ordertation today at werner and after 2 hours sitting and listening to b.s,I said hell with werner.All but 1 person where all newbies from trucking school.They were all told in school that they will make 34.cpm after training,well during the first brake,I told them its a lie.They look at me like I came from mars or something.I try so hard not to say anything but the truth needs to come out.I was the only one there that knew the real truth.I couldn't just not say notthing even though I souldnt of.My room mate at the hotel told me that he had heard bad things about werner too.He was told he will get 31 cpm after training.So make a long story short,I left after over 2 hours and went home.I walk 1/2 a block and call for a taxi to drop me off at the hotel.From there my dad pick me up.When I got home,wener called 3 times to see what happen,I told them I change my mine and dont call me no more.So Im looking for a better company.I just mite take a refresher program anyway.So my journey continued.Click to expand...Eskimo6804 Thanks this.

Both Armellini and Windy Hill are hiring right now. They take students. These are also both higher paying driving jobs because they run foliage and have multiple drop loads. Also with Armellini the max they stay out is 5-7 days. They make all their drops, grab a load and head back to FL for another foliage load.
Spacecoast Thanks this. -
