    I went with them and got down to fontana cali for orientation which was fine then after that it all went downhill. NO communication happened after that and they didnt handle things very well so after 5 days down there i came home

    One question I forgot to ask, but need to.... Does Werner do any kind of physical agility test? I bombed one at US Xpress in Choo-Choo Town last week and have come to the conclusion that I HATE PATs with a passion....

    10-4. I hold a Class A with all endorsements. Shoot, with those kinds of credentials, I'll be a trainer in 6 months.... Oh, did I mention, I can back a rig too!!! I'm ahead of the game already....

    hey hey, 3 months to be a trainer. Lol.

    I guess I'll do an update of what I've been up ta. Went home for a few days. Before that I sat in el paso for 3 days because my release handle on the fifth wheel broke while I was under a trailer, fun times. Got a run to Dallas where I had a "safety hold" on my truck, ended up just being a random drug test, passed with flying colors(or should I say slightly yellow?) then went down to Laredo where there were 150 truck waiting for loads. Sat there for 4 days then got a run home. Little work of advice, keep atleast one decent $amount trip pack incase ths happens you'll have something to cover the time you spent sitting. I luckily forgot to drop a $300 one so I had that. Went home to pick up the mrs, deffinatly enjoying the company(and cooking). Been running around in nm since Monday. That's about it for now, might be on a Vegas-la acct when I get home. Anyone got any questions feel free. Be safe!

    Well trucks been in the shop 10 days!!! Luckily it's a shop in my home town :)

    got a new clutch put in, and new batteries and diagnosed a check engine light. I don't see what took 10 days but oh well. Should only be with Werner until mid December them I'm hightailin somewhere else. Might go with knight(I know I know, not too much better) but if thier express 14/7 thing is true and pay is even slightly better then I'll go there. Considering I'll only have 6-7 mo exp.
