Just an update to a message that I posted in this thread.
I was planning on going to Werner on 23 Feb -- it didn't happen.
I was originally going to retire from my state job (get a paycheck that I don't put the hours in for) and have the Werner pay would make up the rest. I looked more at the pay I would be getting and the math didn't look to good. But mainly I was concerned about health care coverage. My hubby is diabetic and is on a lot of meds and I thought that I would have a major interruption if I decided to go about a change.
So, I'm staying with my day job (it is still here) and look for an additional part-time job (which are just about non-existent). My hubby is out of work (again) and what I do get doesn't go very far.
I still want to eventually be a professional driver but I may have to go through a refresher program as I may not be able to get on the road any time soon. In the meantime, I got my hazmat endorsement since it involves a background check, I figured it would be at least a good thing to get now.
I'm going to use my time now to finish up a college safety program that I have been in for some time now. I have 4 courses left and it will be easier to finish them now than when I do go out on the road.
I'm looking for any part-time jobs that may open up so as I can keep my skills current but it doesn't look all that promising right now.
Eventually, I will go about being a driver it will just be later instead of sooner. -
That is cool. -
VERY Close!!! That is cool!

Jbennett:
Are you still going to get your cdl ? If so are you going to central tech in Drumright OK? My husband went there and said they are really good . -

Drivers cannot be expected to not stay up more than 14 hrs. it is not natural for circadian rythym the hippocrites at /DOT cant tell you you will be a better driver under this 11 hrs driving 10 hrs off duty and no split sleeper berth, it causes fatigue due to the lack of intensity of the sleep wake cycle. -
Does anyone know what equipment comes in a werner truck? I.E CB,tv, anything like that?

It is pretty much the same with all companies.
