werner enterprises..some questions.

DON'T DO IT! All of these comments are right. The best way to beat a test is just don't do it. How is your friend is going to beat the test every time it comes up. YOU could lose your livelyhood because of him not wanting to be responsible.

 

I agree with the other posters - ditch the pal and run solo or find a new partner. They are looking at tightening the drug testing so that the tricks he's looking at won't work anymore either. They are looking at the changes because of people like that.

One tip with Werner - stay away from the dedicated routes. They tend to over load those with drivers, and you'll be lucky to get 2000 miles a week. I know, my hubby started with them on a dedicated route. He stayed three months, which was just enough to get him on with a better company.

 

to the OP, werner's mostly alright. Screw you around when the truck needs to be worked on...for days.

i make $800 on a good week and every once in a while i've had a bad week with more like $200.

 

New to trucking. I am 53 years young. Heading to Werner this weekend. What are the good and bad things about being a rookie?

 

Stand up for yourself an show them your not no fool and of all things. Since you are going to be on a trainer truck an if you and the trainer aren't getting along an things don't seem right GET OFF THE TRUCK .. Call those so call Sdm people an HOPE U dont get the SDM that doesnt care an there are some there. I was a trainer too. Just becareful out there, an watch out for the back stabbers. Trust yourself First. AN dont get on no decaded accounts they will push you.. good luck

 

Bad, low pay, $294 take home per week,for 8 weeks.Good, you get a $500 bonus if you don't take home time during training.Also they reimburse you $100 per month for your CDL if you got it before you came to them.Also good you get to see the entire country cause they run you all over the 48 states.Overall more good than bad when you compare them to some of the horrible places you read about on here.
You going to Allentown?

 

Thanks for the info guys. Yes I am going to Allentown.

 

Werner doesnt Pay nothing a month for a trainee's cdl or even a person's CDL.. Have u worked for Werner? just wondering .. it says your a wanna be on ur side bar?.. Plus That 500 bonus is right but the taxes will get most of it too. Yes I worked for Werner for 7yrs. ​

 

Don't get sick and have to be on medical leave because they will fire you! And don't trust what they tell you.
