Going with Werner

are you talking about the same Dallas they keep in Texas? lol..werner Dallas needs to be closed down and restarted with new people.

i am in Pheonix now for afew days, doing southwest regional.
what i have found is there are a lot of managers at Werner that do not like their job and they pass that down to you as ofton as they can.
however.....their are some good people here also.
i need some home time in the Dallas area, 42 days and counting....

 

I'm setting in my Indianapolis hotel room waiting to start my orientation tomorrow (monday the 25th). Got a good roomate and it is a nice place. Does anyone know about the terminal here what I should expect I will give another update tomorrow after I get out.

 

wish i could help you there, been to south of you but not that one. just make sure you have done your CBT's. you will need them to test out. keep you log book or you get a lot of CBT's to test out. good luck.

 

Thanks my first day went really good today and i'm feeling pretty positive so far and I hope things keep going good. Talked to quite a few guys at the motel and terminal and they all seem really happy with werner.

 

Just an FYI, I was at Phoenix for four days. They sent one guy to Virginia by way of greyhound to get his truck. They gave the woman a very crappy truck that will be in the shop two weeks for repairs.
I got the rent car, 2200 miles to Michigan for a recovery. The thing is they say I won't be able to keep this truck long. The manager in Phoenix said there are just no trucks out there right now.

 

Hey Redclay, what's a CBT? And a DAC for that matter?

 

CBT is computer based training. like online school. they have backing videos, winter driving, how to operate an APU, THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE DAC is A RECORD OF EVERYTHING that has to do with your CDL.
it is like your credit report for the CDL.
you get a ticket for anything...it on there. wreak...bad inspection...
this you need to keep clean. they say there is a place oyu can get a free copy of your report just like your credit report so you can see what is on it.

 

hey well I finsihed training a few months ago. dallas is not bad...but hookers and drug dealers just outside the fence.. the hotel is ok... ive come here from a different life style. Dallas has lots of new trucks.. but Ohmaha is the best place to get one. I had to drive a pc. of crap for a bit then got a brand new truck...it rolls at 67 loaded or empty...nice bic condo sleeper and all. there is lots to say negative, but to each man his own. The worse thing is the money...and it depends on how much is "good" to you..I haven't had a paycheck above $550 yet... most $300 or so, net. But you have the correct attitude stay positive and do the right thing....never leave or act angry to any one and move on if u dont like it. I will when I can. best to ya!

 

ya i am on my way to Werner today. i am at the bus station and i start Friday. ill let you guys know about my experience at the indy terminal.
