    Exactly, when I was a trainer with Schneider I had several students that were from Werner, they all quit and amazingly the company didn't just dump them on the side of the road. Do you really think you're the first one to quit Werner?

    Does the applicant have to pay for his lobotomy once they agree to hire the new officer or is that provided by the FMCSA/DOT?

    Dude you need to just relax a little bit. I know that isn't what you want to hear. We all have horrible days in trucking. Just get a good nights rest, see what tomorrow brings and if you still feel the same way. Cooler heads will always prevail.
