    Don't know the money but you'd be employed, would have time to think about things, learn a lot about the warehouse/dispatch side of things and you'd have options. Could go into the office, could go driving (again not that great of a job) or meet someone along the way that leads to something not related to transportation at all.

    I went through Werner orientation last year and they drove everyone in a van to physicals. The doctor told me Werner disqualifies people who have ADD.
    Unfortunately this nice guy said something about ADD when he was with the doc, and Werner almost cut him loose.

    It was very weird/creepy my first day at orientation getting picked up by students who were in orientation a little ahead of me. They told me first thing "tell them no to everything on your physical. Keep your mouth shut" I actually had a medical card. Id been getting them for 9 years driving non CDL.

    Some members on here have posted drug failures on their dac. Or some other stupid crap. When they never even made it to the physical.

    I'd be checking mine if it were me.

    I don't disclose anything other then the obvious. Glasses. And they can most certainly tell if you smoke. They listen to your chest with the stethoscope.
     
    AteamDRIVER80 Thanks this.
