    I have driven OTR for a little over 3 years and then got recalled to go back to the military. I am now out and worked as a cell tower climber but the open road is calling. I need help finding a reptuable company out there that will bring me back in. I still have my CDL just dropped the hazmat at my last renewal. I have drove a tractor trailer during wheat harvest last summer but that has been it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    What you're asking is a bit vague. What was your previous experience with, and what are you looking for in a company?

    curious to know why you ask that. I'm "soon to be" new to the trucking industry & want to know why you say that. Werner from what they have that I seen you get just about all your miles (unlike other companies) & they seem to be a lot more optimistic with there paperless log in book they also have 1 of the top best insurance companies I didn't have since UPS Bluecross/blueshield. I just don't know how much cpm they pay but from like 3 different websites werner is like the top 10 companies to work for

    There's a whole sub-forum dedicated to Werner, as well as the "Report a Bad Trucking Company Here" section. I never worked for Werner, so I don't have much to say about them, but in those sections of the forum, you can see what people who have worked for them have to say about Werner (and any other company, for that matter).
