Werner Enterprises

Bein a freightliner century,there is probably a 99% chance its got a detroit 60 series...

 

Ok I was thinking that too but when I saw that website lists them having both, i figured they were phasing in new Detroits and cats out since Cat is supposedly getting out. Can anyone confirm who drives at Werner?

Fry, Glad to see you found the equipment you like. I can only pray you get the truck you want or something like it.

Well, the main differences is one is built by PACCAR and the other is built by Freightliner. I gurrantee you half or more of the fleet is Paccar products being Kenworths and Peterbilts. Now the only differences between the two brands are one is quality and the other is not. Give me a Pete or Kenworth.

May i ask what work issues??? It's ok if it is that much priviate.

 

Standard training. Trainers want your FULL attention. No distractions.

A mark of inexperience on her part. She has not learned to sleep behind another driver, while the truck is in motion. Too many bumps? HELLO !! It's a 80,000 lb unit, travelling down the interstate. Which you did not have any input on when it came time to lay pavement. Not your fault. Not your problem. 100% her problem.

It's like coloring. You HAVE to stay between the lines, if you want it right.

Of course you could slow down to 20 mph, to improve the quality of HER sleep time.

 

too all those who have gone training thru werner and gone on there own do you get to pick your truck and is it new or used. they came in a said we can take home between 850 and 1150 a week if we bust our butt, how tru is that and they have lots of loads for us to get too, so there would be no sitting, can someone help in that department. any pointers to look to when i get a trainer, i hope im making a good decision when i choose werner over TMC some insite would help.

 

I don't work for Werner. But I can answer your questions.

NO you do not get to pick out your own truck. They assign you one.

Werner, through it's own annual reports, show plainly that the fleetwide "average" is less than 9500 miles per month per truck.

Do the math, see it that comes up to the dollar amounts you were told.

Yes, you "could" make more. But.... the averages don't lie.
