my first nine days of working at werner

in nine days I have driven about 2600 miles and logged almost 58 hours of line three. my impressions so far;
1. I'm lucky to have a trainer with almost two years experience.
2. I'm also lucky that although he works a dollar general dedicated account he likes to stay out as much as possible so his student get their hours done. ( he volunteers to work weekends )
3. the qualcom we have in our truck works very intermittently, sometimes I have to wait 15 minutes for messages to send.
4. driving is getting easier, driving in and around these losers in cars sucks!
I had one woman in a SUV pass me swerve into my lane 30' from my bumper and then hit her brakes HARD! at 65 MPH. my butt was puckering big time.
5 the paperless log thing is good and bad, your legal but you also log alot of time that I think should be line 4 ( unloading, fueling ) as line 1.

I can tell my time here is limited, they don't pay enough to keep good drivers.

I'm still accident free, as long as I keep my following distance, G.O.A.L, and drive defensively I'll stay that way.

does anyone know how much Crete pays new recruits with 6 months experience?

 

I don't want to play the "huntin' for a good company" game.

alot people on here say Crete is a great company and if they'll have me I'll work for them until I retire.

sounds like they treat their drivers with honesty and respect in return they would get my respect and loyalty.

thanks for the responses
