    My instructor told me its the the easyst type of job to get but i also hear that Werner will try to put you onto a dedicated account as well. Personaly if its not an OTR I dont want it. will i have any problem getting OTR with Werner?

    I'm not working for Werner, but when I talked to a couple of the recruiters... they told me you can pick between OTR and regional. You can also request a non-smoking trainer, if that matters to you.

    Awesome Its as i said if its not OTR i dont want it.. I'm 23 single no kids and my only bill is car insurance so i want to get out and run the road for a couple years before I go regional. Plus my instructor said he would stomp my head if i dident take OTR with my current position in life:D good to know. 5 more days until i start orientation with them to:D

    Trust me, you will get all the OTR you want with Werner. Probably even more than you want sometimes. :biggrin_25523:

    It might take a bit longer to afford a vette than a year, but not having any bills may make it possible. I know sometimes you will spend more time sitting than you will driving, but it will get better after you get some experience and other doors open.
