    Only million milers get APUs.

    You're a number here at Werner.

    "One of the things that I like the most is that Werner is very good at safety that they are number 1 in that from what I was told." You might just want to count that is the first lie a recruiter told you.

    Safety is poor all all the megas, Werner is no better or worse then most.

    Number one in safety my foot.

    All company recruiters say they are number one in something. Safety my foot. Oh wait...

    Im not going to pick on Werner too much.

    The school is a hunting ground for hungry sharks seeking to fill the tractors with the newly stroked and flushed newbie seeing dollar signs...

    I was at the Atlanta (Lithia Springs) terminal.... a month ago, roughly. Looked at one of the poster boards outside the Safety office:
    Roll Overs this year: 31
    Days since last roll over: 2

    Chuckled a bit then went about washing my undies.

    At what ????

    To the OP, i'd put some other irons in the fire. look at several companies, and compare. And remember recruiters will lie sometimes, like when their lips are moving, so look at websites too
