    Good for you Opal. At some point we would love to hear how it's going for you at Werner. They came to our school and made a presentation so they are on our "check 'em out" list. They certainly sounded like one of the companies who would give you LOTS of miles.

    Well, I am out of the Hiring area for most noob jobs in trucking. I'm grateful that Warner will take me on, and I think its a better choice than Covenant. I talked to 2 former Warner drivers, who were with them in the last 5 years, and who live in my area. That's where they started out and they were OK with the training, and the way they were treated. I gotta get into a truck and start driving, plain and simple. I'll let ya know how its going.

    I have been with Covenant for over a year now and it will not make 2 years. For a few months now I have been thinking about leaving Covenant for various reasons. One is pay. I have been with them for almost 2 years and I am only making .29cpm.
    Now just a week ago Covenant announced that it is mandatory that everyone take the per diem, they took away local haul pay, plus bonuses are being taken away and now on top of a $500 pet deposit, they will now charge a $250 annual fee for people with pets. It seems to me when a company takes away opportunites for a driver make money, charges the driver more money, and or takes money away from people that they are not going to be in business very much longer and they are grasping at straws.
    I have had enough of Covenant...If you are looking to Covenant for employment. I would say...do yourself a big favor and go somewhere else. I'm at my limit of BS.
