Only Drivers Happy With Werner

Where did you get that statistic? and if it is correct, It's sucks that 51% of the drivers dont smoke...... ... LOL just kidding brother!!!

 

Thats what I did, waited to long and took 6 months to get approved again and now have start again, but I wasnt out but a few days......

 

Mommy said to be nice to smokers................they're dieing................

 

If you get off the truck before training is over, your SDM is in touch with you all the time reminding you that you have so many days to get back on the truck or you will be starting over again. With so many new students starting there might not be an opportunity to get back. So, here I go, out in the cold and probably in the snow. Did I mention I hate winter??? LOL

 

There was a Werner driver that came through Bangor Maine to make a delivery. He was on the fleese deal. He told me that the dedicated would not give him enough miles to make the payments. But otherwise he said it was a trucking company.

hope this helps

 

Fleece was his first mistake!

 

Jim,
If you even had a clue of what your headed for you would not do it. Theres a reason that there is not any positive postings for this company. Your going to drive a truck that is full of someone else filth, poorly cleaned at best. Your going to work more hours (alot of them for free) in 1 week than your currently work in a month. Your going to get treated like #### by most of the shippers/receivers, and (sadly) other drivers on the road. You probably going to get the privilege of getting to take a shower in a room that is dirty than you are. You will probably get stuck with the hand unloads ( Micheals, Kaybee Toys, etc..) because your the new guy. An this is the good stuff, as if I were to write about the bad stuff the editor nazi would strike it all out..

 

A friend of mine went through training with both Werner and Prime. The trainer at Werner trained him on driving, backing, recordkeeping, handling shippers and receivers, company policy, and gave him tips on how to succeed in the company; the trainer at Prime only gave him lots of miles behind the wheel. He found Werner's training to be better monitored and more comprehensive.

I'll be honest, though. I don't think the problem was necessarily with Prime as a company. I think he just had a crappy trainer -- one who admittedly was just putting in time until his lease expired. But his training with Werner was definitely a better experience for him.

 

A lot of these co's try to put you in as a trainer. Even if you lease. The co's that train newbies to get their CDL's make money off the newbies and the trainers. Sad deal if you have to train to make money. I like the co's that require a lot of stick time, standards, and time at a co before they label you a trainer.
