    Thank you and Roehl seems like a great fit for me, all the training and homework I think a student driver should get. They also have their own training school I believe. You should be able to find out on their web site. I went to Premier Driving Academy out of Theodore AL and they have a refresher course you can do. It cost 250 a day and you can take it on the weekends until you get the hours needed to start with a company. Good luck with everything and remember your first choice in a company will make or break you so research and make it count.

    Just another know it all rookie..Comments about "comprehension" don't faze me..Pretty soon, you will be on some other forum whining about something. Perhaps the CRE or Prime thread...And your comments about people serving in the Navy or Air Force were pretty stupid too..I have a kid in Air Force Special OPS, based out of Eglin AFB, currently on his second tour of Afghanistan...Care to tell him he's a "weenie" by your definition ? Get over yourself rookie..

    I had bronchitis....oh, look at me..BFD. I went through USMC basic training in the 60's when it was perfectly OK (and expected) for your DI to beat the crap out of you..Didn't make me any better or worse for wear..

    WOW! TMD = Too Much Drama! No comments are needed as you have stated that you are a pre-hired for Werner. Believe me, NO ONE on this thread or entire forum for that matter can say more than you're about to find out first hand. I don't wish the horrible stuff that my family has had to go thru from this company on anyone but people have to find out facts on their own. I know we did. We were also warned. We also took a chance & followed that road and in the end, we got screwed. Ya win some, ya lose some. Not all of Werner's trainers are aweful. My husband still talks to the 2 that trained him. He is also currently training for Werner & has a trainee with him as we speak & I know he doesn't do him dirty. But it does happen. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you. Anyhow, good luck at Werner Jon Niners
