    when I went through training this summer we never got anywhere near the east coast. Trainer ran mostly Calif and that's where stayed except for a few trips to arizona and nevada. Also never got a zero paycheck either, had a small one when I elected to send my bills by the trip pal box instead of scan them.

    I got zero check or close to it once a month when I went home.They would route me to Omaha and never failed every time the mechanics red tagged it.So there I sit for a day or two then would take my home time that check was beyond sad.Cost more for the paper and ink on checks then what I made for that week.OTR wasn't any better swapped or split every load except Canada and hazmat loadsWhoever decides to go to Werner better have money saved because you're going to need it.

    I think there are problems with any of the mega carriers. I know drivers here at Werner that are doing quite well their 1st year.

    There is no company that will pay you for sitting at home. That's the catch in this industry; in order to get a paycheck you must drive the truck. Who'd thought?

    What I'm saying is there was no reason to route me to Omaha and red tag my trk when nothing was wrong then let me to home.

    I would say that's sound advice no matter where you go.
