I'm going to be a new driver - I've heard the nightmares about Werner....

Those are pretty rough offences.The firearms offence will be looked at heavily,the impaired driving will be scrutinzed even more. If you are fortunate to get on with THE SMURFS OF OMAHA NE,you better kiss some major league "bootay",because they can change their minds so fast about employing you you'd think you were struck by lightning. GOOD LUCK. LONEWOLF65 AN ex WERNER driver. of 15yrs.again good luck brother.

 

Ok, what scared me is...What kind of temper does he had. Thats a lot of charges. Is he gonna have road rage and kill someone?

 

I was a Werner Prehire. Did not yet have my license. Got another letter- non hire. They can change their minds. I had a 1968 Felony sale & possession of Marijuana. They were told from the beginning. It was ok & then became not ok. Take your chances. I may try them again. I was told they only keep your records 3 months & then toss them. Was told on the phone by a person at Warners to apply again.

 

Unless Werner has changed their hiring qualifications--they will not hire you with a felony, EVER and misdemeanors have to be 20 years old or older. At least that is how it was. They may only keep your records(application file) for 3 months, but they re-apply for your DAC every time you apply with them. Some companies ask for a copy of your DAC ever year you work for them, it is unusual, but not uncommon. These companies will pre-hire about anyone, but NONE make that final decision until you finish your school and have your CDL in hand. BTW, every driver has a DAC as soon as you recieve your temporary CDL before you begin your school.

 

Shoot around here you can get a DWI for just one beer
I'll bet they could even get you for mouth wash
The charge is up to the discretion of the officer, its his word against yours
Pretty much because he's a sworn officer of the court your screwed!!!!

 

It troubles me that these lowlifes are what's out there in these trucks. I wish something could be done to attract higher caliber people. I suppose a start would be companies raising their standards to exclude felons, drunks and idiots with guns.

 

Whatever a company's recruiter tells you, GET IT IN WRITING! That way, when they "suddenly" discover a discrepency, 4 months after you've been hired, there is a paper trail to fall back on.

Good luck with your search!
