My journey with Werner begins

BUMP

How's it working out?
You still with? Bailed? Termed?

What's the story, morning glory?

 

You know I don't really hear a lot of bad stuff about Werner these days. It use to be a daily or weekly thing.

 

.26cpm? They paid me that much to run Texas regional in 2003 after training, even running 3k miles that's still less than 800/week.

 

They have a new CEO, and CL is involved pretty heavy ahain

 

OTR is worth .35cpm to start.
The average of miles varies heavily. Some weeks 1700, others 2900. You can't strike a rhythm.
Hardly any direct carries, 50% splits to either get guys home or provide Net Ops their pittance. I got my first 1000 (1015) loaded miles trip this week (Fort Mill, SC - Topeka, KS)- 10 months deep into this show.
I'm usually relegated to the Northeast (that's 'home') or the upper Midwest: Ohio, PA, IN, IL. The only good that comes of that is that I'm familiar with the routes - what to take what to avoid; when to take it when to avoid it.

 

Didn't know you drove for them Fort Mill is where my surgeon that checks on my jaw is around 30 minutes. Let me know when you are back this way again.

 

Will do, Trooper. Tho, I'm really working towards getting out. A life trapped sleeping in a truck, stuck on the road, far from home and the people that you care about... isn't much of a life. The dispatchers don't get it... request 12 out 2 off (the minimum rule) and it's always: I'd like you to do 18/3. I've said no more than once, but they're as aggravating about it as an ### rash you have to sit on all day.
Dunno if I'll make the magical year with them. The ire rises each time I'm sent out and argue about when I'm getting back.
