I just personally talked to placement for my current student, as well as the one I just dropped off... only regional drivers make less than 29cpm. I was making 29 for the month I was on 48. One of my students from Colorado says he was making 36 after a year. Ive personally seen people making 42... with my own eyes. I currently make 38 when I am solo. I was making 40 at Hunt...
Werner has over 200 accounts... give placement a call. There is always something open... but a lot of people refuse to do what they need. Like Ive had a few students turn down Home Depot, then throw fits and accuse Werner of refusing to give them a dedicated. My current student was offered 4 different dedicated accounts, and somehow he's unhappy being offered any of them. Some people just dont know whats best for them.
If you dont believe me, go into the Werner driver portal and enter zip codes. You can see dedicated accounts in just about any city or state. Its pretty rare not to have any, unless you are in places like Washington or Idaho. We are currently looking for people in Wisconsin to run there to the Dakotas...and I just saw an account for Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado...
The one thing about Werner is that its overloaded with people from Florida. A lot of companies just refuse to hire people from Florida because the freight rates are so low, it costs money to employ them. Brokers wont even pay enough to break even... its crazy. We give out $2000 bonuses to take the Werner bus down to Lakeland... because it costs so much to send the trucks there on hometime. Thats why people from Florida are the ones making the least money. The pipeline starts at about 26cpm... but if someone wants to live in Florida and refuses to move in order to make a living... thats their choice.
Anybody living anywhere remotely close to civilization will make decent pay. Even Crete only offered me 34cpm my first year... when I was already making 36 on a Werner dedicated. They offered me 42 now... turned out to be 40... so I just went back to Werner and I make 38 and I get way more home time. But then again, I moved so I could be dedicated. That used to be considered a responsible thing to do.
The jobs are out there, you just have to be willing to get them. I move to the best place I can make a decent living. Im not going to move to NYC or anyplace I hate, I moved to Geogia and got a decent dedicated... best decision I ever made. I almost moved to Pennsylvania for another dedicated account... they offered me relocation pay and a bonus. Some accounts do that, some dont, but they are always willing to take someone.
As someone who barely survived the recession, I consider making 35 grand in my first year as pretty #### good. I always look back fondly at the time I spent in that Black Cascadia. Werner gave me a chance when nobody else would. Most people would consider taking care of a dying relative to be a sign of an honest person... not PAM, Colonial, Rosedale, Crete, or a few others that turned me down as a student. Apparently its considered worse than going to prison. Great people, arent they?
Warner good or bad?

Ok genius, if that is true, which it isn't the. Please explain this will ya.
have you been to the Fontana terminal? Well guess what just behind the orientation room there is another room. Do you know what they do there? It's the Werner cdl school, and again genius, my student which I still talk to today, was not only trained there for his cdl, but I also picked him up from their, and after his training took him back there to get his truck. Now you may not want to call it a school but it is a school, and I do have his number if you really want to verify it.
and lastly you supposed genius that you are, do you know anything about the pre-pass? Well guess what back in beg. Of march I believe Werner sent everyone a qc message about how their csa score was so bad that the pre-pass wouldn't work for the weigh stations. (Oh and by the way contacted another student who is still there and again the pre-pass still doesn't work).
if they didn't have such a bad rating wouldn't the pre-pass still work? A whole company doesn't get their pre-pass priveleges suspended for having a good csa score.
please go blow smoke somewhere else because you been talking out your butt and it stinks -
Here is a challenge for all drivers that read and use these forums, next time you stop at a truck stop and see a Werner driver ask him/her what he/she makes per mile and post it for super genius davezilla, as obviously he more of an office person than a driver. Read his posts and he sure knows allot about the lanes etc...
I am just curious how many .26 CPM or less gets posted -
I bet he's a recruiter a driver couldn't be as stupid and blind as he is
Lowa3468 Thanks this. -
Look buddy, stop it with the lies already. Do you have any idea how insane you sound to people who have actually looked up the information? Be a man and look it up, or go away.
Anybody interested in seeing Werner's CSA score and comparing it to CR England, or any other company, can find it here: http://www.cb39.org/carrier_csa_score/werner_enterprises_csa.html
Note that Werner is currently not under CSA intervention. Do you even know what that is? Since you dont, take a look at the CR England CSA score, and you will see a giant friggin exclamation point next to their unsafe driving score. This is the intervention threshold, and the DOT is all over them. http://www.cb39.org/carrier_csa_score/c_r_england_csa.html
If you look at Werner, it says only 14% of trucks fail inspection... which is lower than Crete.
And yes, I received the same message... and you are basically making things up. The prepass is turned off... that has nothing to do with CSA scores... as you can see yourself, even the DOT itself says Werner has average CSA scores. The prepass is a totally seperate system, which only operates in 30 states. It is not federal in any way. 20 states dont even comply. NORPASS, the huge logo on the back of the prepass... its an organization of a handful of states, lead by the states of Kentucky and Washington.

Oh, and if you know so much... why dont you know that DDA is a totally separate company from Werner? DDA is a 10 week course that counts as college credit, and they provide students to Schneider, Stevens, Empire, and a few other companies as well. HOW THE HELL CAN THEY BE A WERNER CDL MILL IF THEY WORK FOR EVERYONE YOU CAN THINK OF?

Go ahead, tell me about how Werner owns them. Werner doesnt even have Terminals in Louisiana or Arkansas. Do you really think Werner trains drivers with a totally unrelated company, and then sends those drivers to their own competition?
Really man? Really?
I mean, really? You really couldnt spend 5 minutes to google that? -
Lmao
wow. Right when I thought it couldn't get any better!
-
Ok, then provide your own information please. Do you have ANY sources? You cant just say things and expect people to believe them, especially when I can provide information directly from the DOT website.
-
You can provide all the info you feel you need to... To justify the **** company Werner is. I hear somthing new everyday as one of my friends is doing a sentence there... Barly making 400 a week. Even he told me the pre pass got taken away from horrible reputation.
Lowa3468 Thanks this. -
T_TRUCKER⢠Thanks this.

Why in the world would a company get a pre-pass taken away? Any idea's from anyone?
