Good luck to all of you hopefuls, but don't be too surprised if you are turned down, as happened to me last year. No reason given other than, more...
Agree! Never worked for Werner, but my first company had a similar setup for Fleet Managers. They were ranked/rated with peers based upon how busy...
Try Southeast Carriers out of Lawrenceburg, TN; they have a small terminal in Wills Point East of Dallas that operates M-F on a dedicated account.
Don't recall a yard being in that area, but could have changed by now; I did the 7/7 for about 9 months and had to drive about 200 miles to and...

Good luck to ya! Roehl has a good program to get you rolling.
As a modified version of the old saying goes, "I am not an economist, or the son of an economist," and while it makes sense that "money itself...
