Werner Express Dedicated....

If I were you man I'd choose swift over Werner. From what I hear from Swift drivers, Alot of them are happy there. Swift may have a bad rep but I promise you they are better than Werner.


Edit: In all honesty, if you want to be home more do a bit of time OTR gain the experience and more doors will open. Don't risk your Cdl for a DG account.

 

have you applied to and contacted Marten or Crete? Marten is a pretty good company from what i hear and Ive heard quite a few drivers say if they had to go somewhere else or go otr they would choose Marten.

if you stay on with werner i suggest going 48 states otr. dedicated/regional wont pay you squat. after a year become a trainer and get paid your cpm for your miles and your students miles.

 

Just out of curiosity, who did you drive for five years ago and for how long?

 

Three months total experience five years ago?
I assume Werner will be sending you out with a trainer for awhile?
With your limited experience and five years away from drivin' Big trucks, --- without at least a refresher course to bring you up to speed, you may be setting yourself up for failure. A termination could put an end to a career before it begins. You may prefer to avoid going through Big truck truck drivin' training again, but there's a good possibility that you should,--- especially if you plan to run a dedicated account known for tricky backing and tight places. Are you confident enough with your abilities to handle the program?

Shortcuts can lead to dead-ends.
Be careful.

 

The pros are (as I understand it), you can expect to sleep in your own bed 2-3 nights a week if that's a plus for you. For some, that would be a con.
