    My brother-in-law is in school right now. KLLM won't hire him because of where he lives and he was all set to go with Swift. My hubby told him to talk to me, but my talking fell onto deaf ears. The Swift recruiter was so wonderful. Apparently the Werner recruiter was even better because that is who he signed on with.:biggrin_2554:

    OOOOOHHHH NNNOOOOOO!!!!! I hate to hear that leannamarie. These guys were talking about a local type job for me that went from Texas to Alabama and back. You ran that 2 or 3 times a week and made around 450-500 bucks a week. WOW!!! I told the student who had that info, that KLLM paid darn near that much during your training time. He was like, well I'll be making that right out of school. :biggrin_25518: I said well if that's your goal, you will probably be OK with Werner. He was convinced that he was going to make that in training and solo for the rest of his life. :Yacht: Yep, smooth sailing all the way. He just didn't get out much. Of course he was from "Dog Crap, Mississippi or someplace like that, and 450 a week was probably livin' high on the hog. Anyway, hope to meet your guy at KLLM someday. I have a couple of friends there that have been with them for years.

    Happy with $450 a week? Wait until he starts blowing $500 a week at the truck stops, lol. If you see a guy riding a purple mountain bike around, that's my guy. I hope you get a good trainer.

    What kind of a person are you? You should have bought baby wipes and wiped his #### area for him.

    owe i have been showing him these posts and all the suggestions from the wonderful people on here, i think he has seen the lite of things now and i doubt he will go with werner if at all possible and only as a last resort, but i doubt it will come to that .. he is looking else where for training after he gets out of school...i just could not imagine him being in the same situation as you were, i know my husband and he would have said something to the guy and then walked out the first nite...hell i would have told him to leave in that type of situation its just not right...but still a funny story sorry had to laugh at your expense:biggrin_25525:

    OK Dude.

    In the words of the Late Great Slim Pickens in the movie classic Dr Strangelove :

    "Well, I've been to three county fairs, a rodeo and a goat molestation trail and that's the craziest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones!"

    I guess at this point the only advice I can give you is this: Most Wallmarts have truck parking. Find one that does and buy Top Ramen by the case.
    Most truck stops have hot water for tea. Get you a big Styrofoam cup and fill it up with hot water for your Top Ramen and don't look around at all of the food that you have no way of affording. Just hustle out back to your truck and don't think about it and you'll be fine. Did they tell you that you get .01 penny a year raise? Don't sign up for the "Per Diem" that they ram down your throat. It makes your SSI retirement a LOT less. If you go slower than 5 mph for less than 1/2 a mile the GPS won't know that you moved your truck. That way you won't have to restart your 10 hours line 2 if you have to move. (like if the truck stop is flooding or whatever.) If you get red tagged at a terminal you are looking at 1-4 days unpaid. To expedite, find out who is in charge of fixing your truck and buy him an 18 pack of beer as a bribe and you go to the head of the line. Make sure nobody catches you and look the other way when he slams the first few at work for good measure. Make sure to thank him for the crappy work he just did so you can work him over with a bribe again next time. As long as you don't crash, all you want to do is get back on the road. It's all part of the game.

    Won't be long before you find out what everyone around here was talking about. When you DO, make sure and stop back by and let us know how you did.

    best of luck,
