Nope. He picked me up with an empty, we shot up to the dc, dropped it and picked up our loaded and came back right around the hotel to the first dollar store we unload in the morning. I got about 3 hours of drive time in today.

Enjoy it! I trained with Werner a decade ago, I lucked out a had a great trainer also. Is he making you help unload? My trainer used to always buy me a meal if I helped him unload, but it was pretty rare as we ran standard OTR.

Update: so now that I have some time I will write out my experiences so far. My
Trainer is a really cool, laid back guy who doesn't scream, explains things, takes his time teaching, but he also let's me try to figure out what's wrong before correcting it then explaining. I really hope other trainers are the same way, but reading these forums I must've gotten lucky and got a awesome trainer, anyway, we're both on the dollar general account, so far I've been places in Florida I never knew about and some places I knew well, as far as working dollar general it's not bad at all. I actually like it. The rolltainers are pretty easy, the ones filled with bottled water are heavy as heck but I get it done, I also help my trainer unload, its a team effort since I'll be on his account when I get off his truck. So far werner has been good to me. And im learning a lot out here and I hope more people can come to our account and have a positive experience too. I enjoy everything so far. Except missing the wifey lolpattyj Thanks this. -

Yes sir, I haven't had time between driving, sleeping and unloading lol. Anyway, everything is still going good, I found out we are getting a pay raise May 1st, so I'm pretty excited, they also now pay students that train on a DG account $600 a week instead of the standard $550. Which is great, also they are giving a pay raise to all the drivers on the DG account. At least the one I am on. My trainer is teaching me a lot and im picking up a lot and quick. As far as doing DG stores most of them are pretty simple to roll the rolltainers in Ive only been to one store that sucked. Everything is going strong still, im going home for the weekend since my trainer lives about an hour south from me, we work tuesday-saturday On this account and run 3 states however I've only drove in 2 so far. Honestly, I'm really glad I opened up my mind and gave werner a chance and gave the DG account a try, it's not something I plan to do forever but I'll be making good money, and I don't mind the work. If anyone has any questions about werner in general or the DG account feel free to reply or pm me. If I don't know the answer I will find out for you. It seems to me most of the keyboard warriors on here are either too lazy to do DG, can't back up, or got fired for safety violations, I don't know but it's really not what it's made out to be on here, my experience has been great and a lot of people I've talked to that just got their own trucks and million milers on DG are still enjoying it. Don't judge a company by the words of others.....so many of you told me to stay away and honestly I'm glad I didn't listen. Thank you to those that have me their support.
