Werner is a good company

Thanks for that correction! I'll chalk it up to lack of caffeine! You are correct, it is hours not miles.

 

I know very little about trucking, I dont understand "log 300 hours on line 3." What does line 3 mean? So would Werner be a good place to start a trucking career? Thanks for your patience with me guys!!

 

Well, you couldn't log 300 hours on line 3 at one shot without getting in serious trouble! Line 3 is where you log your actual driving time. The lines in a log book go as follows:

Line 1. Off Duty
Line 2. Sleeper Berth
Line 3. Driving
Line 4. On Duty (not driving)

Werner would be an OK place to start a driving career. You may even find that the company fits you and your needs to the point where you would end up staying there for years. You may find a different company to start with. My hubby started with Werner. He left them after three months. The guy that was his trainer (a very good one) has been with Werner for years, and still is.

 

1. Off Duty - Not in cab
2. Off Duty - Sleeper Berth

 

Thanks for that! I'm a bit rusty, as it has been 8 years since I filled one of those out!

 

They don't have very many of those left. They are going to mostly Freightliners and 387 Peterbilts. they just bought a bunch of Freightliner Cascadias, that's what I'm driving right now while I'm in training.

 

i got accepted to werner but i need more than 375 a week to survive on. i work for a city govt but their insurance is too high and i plus i need to be home for my reserve training also and they say they cannot be guarantee me home on those weekends. i have 15 years of military driving experience driving oversized loads like tanks, bradleys, fuel and ammo. any advice anyone out there

 

If being at HOME is important why are you looking at OTR trucking ?

 

i need to be at home at least one weekend a month for my reserve training thats all im asking for. i have served my country for 15 years and they wont even work with me thats bs

 

I thought they were required to work with the reserve weekends and such. I could be wrong.
