Team Werner Driver

You can use the baby steps without paying a dime. It's still good advice for getting out of debt.

 

Man, if i hear any more Dave Ramsey "advice." Well put Lonesome.

Clark Howard is the man!

It takes $$$ to make $$$ duh!

Werner clearly isn't cutting it. You're obviously a new driver and should have known Werner's reputation.
Regardless you're being overly negative for ZERO reason. Ask yourself the right questions. Search for answers and since your original post smacks of a pity party i want to help. Lose that destructive mindset. It isn't helping you!

Where do you live (outside of truck)
Do you have 6 months experience yet?

Construction season is upon us again and 7 days a week in a dump truck 12 hrs a day comes out to $2600 a week gross. Just one of many solid examples i would consider before having to breathe whatever your partner had for dinner last night Day in & out.

 

Honestly, it's mostly common sense.
It's surprising how stupid people are.

 

Some people have to be spoon fed. Others just need a kick in the pants for what they already know.

 

To be a winner....at Werner....you can't be a whiner....or a weiner.

Now I hate to burst your bubble, but You're talking $31 an hour for driving a construction dump truck. Where you get that kind of pay? Surely not here in the Midwest!
2,600÷84
= 30.9523809524

 

It wouldn't surprise me.

 

Indiana you can. My dad has a triaxle I’ve run for him in the past, and you can do pretty well if you don’t mind being a yo-yo

 

Average $25hr. Many, not all seasonal construction driving jobs offer time and a half after 40. It's the incentive to lure drivers into a crappy lifestyle of living in your truck to get crap done in the 8 months out of the year this type of work can be done.

 

Fact. I loved what I was doing at Werner at the time!
