    Everything East of I-35. They say SE Regional, but SE also includes NE &Mid-West. Most people train for 140 or 275 hours, your the first I've heard mention 70 hours.

    I am taking a local job in Columbia SC...I am coming in with 4 months experience plus trucking school so they felt I only needed the 70 hours to be ready. Also said it would take up to 2 weeks to get these 70 hours!!! At first they told me I wouldn't need any training but at least with this I can change and go over the road if I want to in the future

    Not saying that Werner is lying to you about the route, but I will say they do leave out a lot of details, even when you ask specifics. First I was told I'd be doing Dollar General in Florida only, then found out the DC I was set to be going to ran FL, GA, AL, &MS. Finished all my training on DG, then they said it was full, had to go to a different account. They said a SE Regional Bus Fleet. Sounded good, came with a bonus, so I took it. Even my buddy that I came to Werner with is on the same account, and they sent him to Montana, Idaho and Utah last week.

    For most transport services, SE Regional usually refers to any state east of Texas, and south of Virginia. Some companies will also include Eastern Texas, Southern Missouri, and West Virginia but not most. Here is a regional map from State Highway Transportational Officials, and this map generally reflects what most companies consider "South-East Regional". Refer to "Region 2" on this map.
