    This a long story, I will try to shorten it.I got laid off a few years ago. I held a class B CDL at the time. I could't find work in Denver and through the workforce I hooked up with Stevens transport, Went through School and stated working (LOL). After 17 month's of being LIED to I tried Werner Ent. Got prequilfied and went to orientation. I was enlightened as to what it is at Werner in that too long oreintation. #1.
    anything female person said in the process of getting me to change to Werner did not under any defination apply to realty. All these companys are doing is using people who are in dire times to mandate these peoples time 24/7 for much less then minimum wage and then these LEAGLE US people must pay for the school.With Stevens I spent under dispatch 7 days in Dodge city KS, all this time NOT PAYED FOR by Stevens or Shipper. i lost a week 's pay right there. Now Werner is Playing games with my DAC . People we need to understand that when we are Born US Workers that these people can not treat us like are wet in the back. Hell they will pay them that are wet in the back more to unload a truck then they will pay us.All I can tell anyone in the industry is DO NOT TRUST ANY TRUCKING OUTFIT. IT is the biggest con I have ever gone through in my life.You must cover your own backside. Dont listen to antone from any Company . Just say SHOW ME THE MONEY.And all they will show you is blue sky. And blue sky is free not only to you but most of all to them. If in orientation someone says " it is what it is" get up and walk out. Because you will know at that time THEY ARE BEING MUCH LESS THEN HONEST.

    Just the training from Stevens Alone Punches your ticket to go to work for any good Trucking Company out there,I don't Know why you went to werner to drive, You have got to be pro active while sitting there at the Shipper or receiver for 7 days and hound your DM about getting Detention pay or something.


    I Already Started Drinking.

    Great post for the people just entering trucking.But for the ones that's been in this bisnesss for yrs knows all about how dishonest this industry is.You have to look at more then just money more then all the lies,dishonesty.You deffinately have to have thick skin to succeed.So anybody who enters the trucking world better make dam sure you're 100% sure this is what you truely want to do.
