How should days off be counted with Werner.

The account he's on is called the "Bus Fleet". A Werner Bus goes from Atlanta to Lakeland on Mondays and Thursdays, and returns to Atlanta on Tuesdays and Fridays. The bus only deviates from that schedule on holidays. It wouldn't matter if the guy stayed out 10 weeks or 2 weeks, still has to catch the bus one one of those days. The days that your on the bus don't count as home time, but unless you want to find your own ride, options are limited.

 

Thank you H-D Road Glide for clearing this up.

 

Thank you very much for all the responses. Even the questions helped me to see what the possibilities are! I appreciate your time.

 

With Werner it is normal.After his last load he delivered is when hometime starts no matter where he is.I know it sucks but thats how Werner is.How far is the Atlanta term from the florida term.I'm guessen that term is in Lakeland florida is it not?Your brother will get the worst end of the deal everytime he goes home.Maybe he can ask his dispatcher to route him to the Lakeland terminal for hometime.I'm guess finding freight in Florida is kind of scarece or does'nt pay so thats why they routed him to the Atlanta term.But none the less they should have told him.Companies are notorius for that,never tell drivers anything.

 

Home weekends means getting home Saturday and leaving out Sunday!

 

He can't take the truck to the Lakeland terminal and he can't take the truck home. It's a slip seat account out of Atlanta.

 

I did'nt know that.I drove for Werner and never heard of that.My hometime always started the second I sent in my mt call.Companies are always changing except one thing,the pay.

 

oh ok thank you.

 

and a saturday afternoon at that,lol
