How to stay in a truck...

Did you get the PM I sent with several threads and a suggestion? I guess I should have posted in this thread for all.


Check out and read these threads. Know what the conditions are and have realistic expectations. This is hard work but good pay. Winter conditions are brutal in North Dakota. Pay for crude hauling can be > $80,000 annually, based on my research. Water hauling is an easier entry point. Tese are local jobs and trucks run 24 hours a day, so not a lot of sleeper use. You need living quarters. Some companies provide temporary quarters for a charge. Just research. I'm about to go to work in Texas, but will be home less than OTR. I plan to pay my house off in 2-3 years though.

Drivers Needed for Fast Growing Company

Wear your seatbelt!

 

Is Werner a forgiving company or have low standards? or they just need drivers?

 

IMHO, forgiving if it meets their goals, low standards absolutely and need drivers absolutely. They are the bottom of the barrel.

Anytime someone with six months experience is training, something isn't right.

All these Mega-Companies make more on training, tax credits, slave labor and fleece purchases than they do hauling freight. This leaves them free to cut rates and continue to make the industry generally worse.
