Hi all, I received a call from a recruiter from Werner this afternoon. He was telling me about a dedicated acct for Family Dollar stores. It's ded. out of Rome NY, home on weekends, driver unloads yadda, yadda yadda! I live on LI and have been looking for a more "local" or regional position. I just started at a local food chain(Stop&shop, home delivery). Any advice from "present" Smurf-drivers out there? I have been out of a truck for almost 4 months now, and am getting a bit nervous(anxious even) there won't be too many opportunities left out there a few more months from now! Thanks for any replies!
Got a call from Werner Recruiter today!

Who was the recuiter that told you that? It could be true,than again it can a b.s story just to get you in.

His name was Brian, he also mentioned stop pay $25, $85.50 to unload the trailer, oh and the .34 cpm per mile spleal! So don't know if it is worth the effort,ya know!

The stop pay is accurate. My hubby drove for Werner on a Walmart dedicated out of Tomah, WI. The mileage pay probably includes potential safety bonuses, etc., but hubby was getting .31/m on the dedicated. I'd try to find out what the miles are really like though, as they had so many drivers on the dedicated routes in Tomah that the drivers were lucky to break 2,000 miles a week. That's why hubby's not there anymore.
Don't count on them caring about anything but the truck and the load. Hubby had a trailer brake fire (mid-winter ice issue) on one set of trailer brakes. Got the fire put out, and when he sent for road-side to come check everything out to make sure that the trailer was safe to be moved, the only thing they were concerned about was whether he would make his stops on time. They didn't ask if he was OK or needed any medical attention. It was shortly after that he returned their truck. -

especially when you are broke down -

well to be fair the night guys don't sleep up there... not enough time. nights has an average of 250 drivers per dispatcher. it's not that they are screwing off, it's that they really don't have time if it's not important. nights is only there to hold our hands till days gets back. load planners, well they can die in a fire.
