    I, for what its worth, Have never heard a good word about Werner. I have never worked there, its just word of mouth to me just wanted to put that out so you do your home work

    Congrats on the other hand, I remember the day i passed my test and they handed me that piece of paper in the mobile trailer at Roadmaster telling me im aloud to drive a small building around public roads lol Good luck to you and be safe out there. Remember we are all in this together so look out for your fellow drivers


    THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE men like you give men like us the freedom to do this job and live our lives!!!!!!!!

    Congrats on earning your CDL and be safe in whatever driving job you choose. And as a fellow veteran I definitely should say thanks for your service!

    Just one bit of info for you... I've been driving truck now for 7 years and like the previous poster I haven't heard a single good thing about Werner. All I can say is do your research before you commit to any company. Best of luck to you in the future!

    Flatbed is a good career; did you rule out tankers?
    You going to stay around San Antonio?

    That's what I did when I got out of the military. (went to a 2 week trucking school crash course) Got a job with a company like werner) You don't want to go with these kind of companies. They will screw up your dac score. They send you to warehouses where you'll need to hire lumpers to get unloaded. Ain't nothing but bend over Billy big rigging with those guys. . I'd go with maverick and do the flats until you gain enough experience to find a real driving job.
     
    Josherd87 and 88m1973 Thank this.
