    Hello all! Supposed to start Orientation at Werner May 28, 2009 in Omaha. Will find out 100% later this week. Supposed to start training on Dollar General account and be on it when I am done. Would like some info on Omaha terminal and orientation, and are there any Fulton Mo. Dollar General drivers out there to let me know what it is like. I have read a lot on here about how bad Dollar General account is but $900-1200 a week and be home most all weekends? Doesn't sound that bad to me actually. Yea yea, rolltainers "suck" and you have to actually work, but I need the work out and I need the backing experience (because I SUCK at it). So it cannot be all that bad.
    Please let me know if you know anything about the Fulton, Mo warehouse and the Omaha terminal.
    Thanks and drive safe!!!

    Well the recruiter was in the classroom this last week, He is a 2 million miler, He spoke them up pretty good. Take it with a grain of salt. Take Care. Be Safe. TD.

    TD was it Jon Jon? He talked a good talk don't he. He is good at his job. They are no different then May or Schneider or Swift you are just a number there. I wish anyone luck who goes with Werner but something just not right about them to me.

    The home time and the family benes look good to me $312 a month, I wish I had more info from the real guys, Yeah it was Jon Jon I sent him an email about the stuff he said so far no response, Not revealing the pay scale has backed me away but I would like to know if they would not be good after we get some time under us? I'm still going towards W/S but we will see.

    Hey guys, I head out in a few days so I will try to update you when I have time. I plan on taking laptop and if I can get a Wi-Fi signal anywhere I will log on and get you a fresh update on them. The pay scale is a rough one with Werner. They do not post anything on their web site nor will they tell you much when you call. In my opinion if you are willing to drive, regardless of the mileage of the trip you should make money. Don't be afraid to scratch a little back to get your scratched. Its a dog eat dog world out there. Just keep you chin up, your mouth shut and your wheels turning. Going back into the industry i am scared to death but I want to better my family and they are backing me. If you have family at home make sure they understand and back you.

    Take care drivers, new and old, please be safe
