Neither. If you have your CDL through a PTDI certified, look elsewhere, first.

I agree 100%, a new driver should not limit there self do alot of research about other companies before you commit yourself,broaden your horizen's so to speak. good luck

[fireman932003]

I agree with the rest! BUT, if you are just choosing between the two I would go with US Xpress. They are the lesser of the two evils.

i have worked for both and left

they are perfect to get your year in

thats it

with werner you will train for 6-8 weeks then go solo

and average 2300 a week

in a stick shift with an auto 8-9 speed at 26-27 a mile

do not get per deim its not worth it because you will never get 2800 a week with either company

i di my month 8-14 with usx

an auto shift columbia

2200 miles a week and a split pay scale 30/33/37

your training will be 21 days with you in the driver seat from day 1 since its an auto shift

do either one to get a year or more then try may trucking or crete

my werner trainer went to may due to a 3 yr old serious accident on his dac

i am at crete

he has 3years more driving experience and makes 35 a mile

i make 41

your 1st year is an apprentice pay year

accept it

low pay bad miles etc

the advantage to usx is their road breakdown 10-30 min contact time


is 5 times better then werner at 3hrs to get thru

like what happened to me in chicago

and their dispatch though lousy is 3 times better then night and weekend dispatch at werner

their trailers are in better shape too

at werner you need a 4 pound hammer and a vise grips just to pull out

the release lever and secure it

so the pins stay retracted

[redsunn21]

isnt werner paperless logs? ive been with usx for over 3 years now and lately its been going to crap out here lol.

[tbaarr]

ya werner has paperless logs

i still know how to cheat it

i legally ran 716 miles in 10.5 hours on line 3

on a werner electronic log

2 different times

it requires 8 line 1 breaks

that you start driving at the 9-10 min point on the line 1 break

ie 5 min driven on line 1 legally by dot rules

8 times is 40 min

as for useless going to crap

no lie, i left in march and went to crete

immediate raise to 38 a mile on all runs

no split rate

now at 41

practical miles paid

2700 average a week

no stacy powell or dale steward lies from x d division

or and guys i did force usless to pay me the money they owed me

i spent 5 hours talking to the feds

and they inspired the state of tenn dept of labor to force useless express to pay me


finally since max increased his ownership in arnold trucking

i am sure you are getting the shaft

[redsunn21]

im getting the shaft??? you mean they are going to fire me soon??? awww bummer lol.

[tbaarr]

no by the shaft i mean

2300 avg miles a week at rand mcnally rates not practical rates

most runs under 500 miles

ie more line 4 lost time and 2-3hrs live unload with no detention pay

one week i had 4 live load and unload 500 mile runs

it ate 6 days up when combined with 1-3hr waits for next load

due to the inexperienced dispatchers

not preplanning

this is what i mean by getting the shaft

[redsunn21]

ohhhhhhhhhh,thats what u mean by getting the shaft,well like i posted before ive been here over 3 years and been getting the shaft ever since lmao.also,wtf is line 4??? you mean that line where it usually adds up to 15 minutes everyday lmao!!!thanks for your advice.

[tbaarr]

15 min vi and fuel if your lucky and sleep at the pilot they assign you

or cough up the 15 buck complience fee

or 15 min vi / 15 min fuel

15 min load / 15 min unload

all in 1 day is an hour unpaid

i averaged 4-6 hrs a week out of the 70
