I am driver whose coming back after a couple years hiatus. I have been offered a position with Werner and am also looking at Stevens Transport. Can anyone tell me if they are worth my time and which would be the better deal for cpm and average weekly miles?
Uhhh.....stay the heck away from Werner. I would stay away from Stevens as well. However, they have a better reputation than Werner, though only slightly. Here are a couple web sites that list companies in your area, they might be able or willing to give you a shot. You will have to search for your home state, and city on these sites.

Ok, Because the problem is that I dont have much experience and there aren't many companies out there that are willing to hire me until i get 6-12 mos of experience. Schneider and Swift have turned me down. I want to do OTR but I cant think of any other companies that hire #### newbies.
CR England may give you a chance. I spoke with a driver a few weeks back at the blue beacon who was out of the industry for ten years. When he tried to come back the only company that would take him was England. Even Swift turned him down. It's a start and an opportunity to get that recent experience in.
Thank you everyone for your advice, sounds like I will have to bite my lip and just get my experience and then move on to something better.
I quit Werner yrs ago because of low miles and just spoke with a Werner yesterday whos been sitting at this truck stop for 2 days waiting for a load.I was with them 3 yrs mainly to get the exp.If your goal is to stay with a company to get the exp then Werner is not for you.You will not get the miles and there pay is one of the lowest in the industry.
