    Hi how is the 275 hours of training from Werner is it good? Do you know if they use 10 or 8 speed?

    I have not seen 1 auto shift werner truck yet. They may have some but it is not the norm.
    As for 275 hrs. The reason it is so high they run you as a team. My experiance is that the trainer can make you or break you.
    But if you get a bad one call your stundent manager right away. And tell them you want a new trainer as soon as possible..

    My bad, I asked a recruiter this afternoon about auto-shifts and he said they do not. It's USXpress that has 'em. I think maybe I heard someone here post Wurner was about to buy into them. Sorry for the error. :biggrin_25512:
