    We'll I'm done my training hours so now all thats left is to get to a terminal and test out... I dont know If I'm going to get this account or not, the guy said hes looking for someone with experience But he is willing to take on a fresh off the truck student. I have no doubt that I did well in my training. been with the same trainer the whole time Not one problem every load delivered on time except for one which was delayed by a bad accident on the interstate and most of the loads delivered an hour early. I was talking with Driver placement and was at 1st offered the family dollar account.. than after hearing a bunch of typing after he put in my employee number he imeeditley said we also have available a R&R Donnellely account.. Its a local (for me run) as everywhere i go is only about 3 hours from where I live $800 a week guaranteed and most weekends home... Now I have to drive a baby bunk as I'll be pullin 49000lbs + loads but that dosent bother me at all.

    does this sound like a good gig for a new guy?

    But they have consistent stuff which is why we keep getting hooked with them. Not sure what Werners relationship is with them but would offer the caution to not be scared to remain legal. A lot of dedicated accounts seem to use the mantra" well everyone else does it" but being on elogs you should face less of that good luck!

    Werner, in my EXTREMELY brief time with them, are nothing but liars. They recruit everyone fresh out of school so they don't have to pay them anything! Not to mention having you wait days for loads without pay! Oh yeah and make sure to bring plenty of bleach to detoxify the ####### they will give you. don't forget to bring your own mattress too, very good chance it will stink! Not trying to discourage you, we all got to start somewhere. Especially if you owe them for the training. But hey, if you can make 800 wk go for it (I would ask for that in writing) If it's a lie, get some time in and look elsewhere. Some drivers love it there, I was not one of them. Much happier running LTL.

    I did the RR Donnelly account for awhile when I was with Werner. A lot of it was hauling magazines/catalogs to bulk mail (USPS) centers. Spent a fair amount of time going to/from York PA. Luckily there is a Walmart close by the York warehouse and there's a strip mall next to it with a Best Buy and a Chinese buffet.

    But yeah, every load was pushing 45k.
