    Yeh, I've tried most of them and always the same result. Either not enough experience or need to work for a company a year before they can hire a driver previous released from a company.

    I hear OTR is a lifestyle. Seems that companies knowing this really don't care about drivers. With the high turnover rate and a complimentary student pool always replacing the existing workforce. It's no wonder why companies don't really care if a driver freezes or roasts to death.

    I caly describe OTR as spartan lifestyle at best. If one can not adapt to their surroundings it will be hard. I agree, -11 degrees is cold. But what incentives does a dispatcher have to keep his driver from freezing? Nothing, zilch, all they care about is getting that product moved.

    To the driver, they can really care less about them. I sure they hear hundreds of drivers complaining about this and that. They've become inmunned to drivers needs.

    I would have to agree with you. Also with the unemployment rate as high as it is, these companies do not suffer if they don't offer good pay per miles. 24 cpm? Out of desperation "There is always someone willing to do your job, cheaper." This is the work force attitude at the moment.

    As for Werner, they may not force teams but when teams is presented as your only option to staying on your trainers truck til something opens, sounds a bit suspicious. Werner has a constant ad that runs on most job sites and newspaper ads. I've heard the stories of having to stay on the trainers truck 2-3 wks after you've already given them 300hrs of driving or the other option was to go home and wait for Werner to call you when something opened.
