does anyone know if Werner makes you sign a contract?

Does anyone know if Werner enterprises makes you sign a contract and if so for
how long. The reason why i ask is i have seen alot of horror stories on here and if they turn out to be true i dont want to be locked into a contract. Thanks for any input you have for this newbie.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I went through school on my own and just got my cdl a couple weeks ago. So i will have to do the 6-8 weeks as a trainee.

 

Yes, i have tried a ton of other companies all the locals want 12+ months of experience and out of all the otr companies that offered me jobs Werner seemed like the lesser of the evils. CR England seemed to be the worse one in the bunch. I really wanted to get with Baylor but they dont have any trainers available in my area. I am a very hard worker and just want to get my experience. My plan is to do my job get my experience and hopefully get with a company like UPS i worked for UPS for a few years and my step dad retired from there so thats my plan but we know how plans work or dont work for that matter

 

I would love to apply for those jobs but they dont even give you a chance i try calling and with some of them a prompt comes up and says press 1 if u have 12+ months experience and press 2 if you dont you press 2 and it says call us back in 12 months same thing with the websites. I have even tried going to some of the hubs and you just get turned away. I have been unemployed for 7 months now and i just want to get on the road and werner will give me the chance worst comes to worst if it doesn't go well i just leave and try somewhere else. One thing i have learned is theres a lot of otr companies that will give u a chance.

 

thanks BossOutlaw88 are you currently with Werner and if so how is it going so far?
