ordinaryguy,
What is your hometime like on that dedicated account? Do you know of other good accounts with Werner that pays well, good hometime and maybe even for team driving? How did you get on the Anheuser Bush account? Did they give you a choice or do you say what you want and wait for an opening?
My hubby is still in training. I am trying to help him learn some of the things that no one tells him about. This site has been a big help. -

Thanks for the positive comments!! I was very concerned about Werner as a Newbie in a training class currently. Can anyone tell me if what my recruiter told me in correct? She told me .35 cents a mile at first? That sound high to me for a newbie, and do you think I can make her give it to me in writing? I won't be going out until October 2009 after graduation. Thanks to all you fellow trucker with more experience us newbies won't be left out in the cold! I am going to tell all my classmates about what you Pros let me.
Thanks again,
NEWBIE IN HOUSTON TX -

what are the bonuses that you are talking about this is going to be my last resort if this class b job don't come though i will be calling Werner on Monday just to ask some questions i have been pre-hired with them and the one time i call sounded like that person was very busy and sounded like she had no time for me so i cut it short with her i am in Minnesota and i heard that if i get in there i should be all right getting a dedicated account but what is stopping me from just going is that i have a 2 year old and the wife will be having our 2nd one come november and i don't want to miss the birth so is it better to wait till he is born or should i do it now any help or abvice will help
Thanks

That is all the bonuses I am aware of, there may be more but I would not know as I have never got any except the annual achievement bonus. If my math is right this will take you to .285/mile, still a good deal shy of that .35/mile they tell you first year drivers average.
Ask the recruiter to tell you all the bonuses available, what the max per mile the bonus is worth, add them up and I would bet you do not come up with .35/mile. Before I started I asked them to break down the .35/mile thing for me and they could not do it, I doubt they can do it now either.
Not trying to scare you away as I still work for werner and in my first year I averaged more than the .35/mile but it is from a dedicated account not otr. You can do OK with werner, just don't get your hopes too high to start out. -
To the newbies and the students still in school, Werner isnt for everyone, it just depends on if you can get dedicated or not...Best of luck with whatever you do. -
Hello BadInfluence(Tara). This is Cracker. I have been reading your thread and I must say that it is well thought and positive. Not a common theme for trucking threads.
Also must say that Drivers sure have gotten Prettier and more articulate over the years.
Congratulations to You and to all on here for what you have accomplished with Werner.
I think we hear so much complaining now days in the trucking industry out of frustration. A lot of the people in this industry cannot seem to ever figure out the company they work fors' system.This leads to frustration and eventually anger toward the company.
Great thread, keep up the good work guys.
