Interested in some of the feedback to, as I will be starting school in May here in Jacksonville, FL, and have gotten a pre-hire from Werner for solo National 48 state van division.
Curious to here more about their sliding pay scale rate (cpm). -
i started with werner 2 months ago and so far everything is going ok. i was hired as a team driver and i did that for like a week and a half before my teammate quit because he didnt like using the qualcomm. so after he quit i been solo at the moment and my first load by myself was 1200 miles. but recently i been helping out on this family dollar dedicated account in rome new york so i dnt know how my dispatcher is going to run me when i get off this account. but if u just starting with the company i say just try to keep a positive attitude and do what u are suppose to do
Injunjoe Thanks this. -

foodmojo Thanks this.

Are you Family Dollar or Dollar General? Thanks, just curious! -
i head out with werner in a couple weeks and was looking at regional or dedicated. i like the physical aspect of having to unlead the trailer(hell, might be the only workout youl really do on a truck). but as posted above, driving 5-11hrs, then olading for 3-6 hours will take a beating on you. thanks for all the responses and lets keep em coming.

Im on the Sears dedicated account here in the Northeast region and I like it, It doesnt pay as much as Family Dollar, but then again, you dont touch the load. just open the doors and back in and wait. Some of the Docks are pretty tough to get into, but if your new or and have no experience, its a great account to be on. like the family dollar account, Your skills will be tested at times and it will help you be a better backer.
My advice is Dont go into this company (or any company) with high expectations. Expect the worst. I came into this company with bad expectations, ( based on what others here posted) and its better than what I was expecting. For me pay is decent and I live comfortably with the werner pay. The only negative I have is dealing with the terminal employees, they are nasty sons of B!#@es. avoid the terminal and you'll be fine. -
hey crabby. thanks for posting. with that account whats your hometime like? i know being a newbie.. hometime will be limited, but i would like somewhat of a life not on wheels. yea i look at it as ok, as new drivers... the high pay companies wont even look at us.. so we just have to take what we can get and pay our dues.
so far my prehires(im with a school in town) are werner and covenant, but im not to up for the teaming ALL the time thing.. -
They gave me the option of having off 1 day a week or 2 days every two weeks. I chose the 2 day option. If I get really lucky, I usually park at this one consignee that is a 30 minute drive away from home. My GF picks me up and I spend the night home after I MT out.
