Simply put, you go through training and get paid on salary. Get out of training, test out, get a truck, and (after going over it with a fine-toothed comb to make sure it is 100% safe and DOT legal) start haulin' freight and get paid mileage (and unload pay, and stop pay, if applicable). If you're OTR, expect $400-600 gross weekly, and out 4 weeks, home 4 days. On dedicated, the money's better (depending on the account), as is the home time.
Where are you, and what division are you after?
Once we figure that out, I might have an idea of what's available and which terminal you'd go to for orientation.
Either way, I'll say this. At the end of the week, that direct deposit is in my account, just like it's supposed to be.

Hello! This information might be a little out dated but I will give it to you anyway. I worked for Werner for 9 years. I was also a driver trainer for them as well. Werner is like any other company. You get out of it what you put into it. As a rookie driver, don't expect to make great money right out of the gate. The longer you are with them it will get better. I would try for a dedicated account if possible. The money IS better and so is the hometime. OTR is ok, but if you want to make money on it you need to say out for a while and keep that left door shut! If you have any more questions, feel free to message me! I know I didn't give a whole lot of info on here but I will be happy to give you more if asked!

ty fireman i talked to a driver and they said the dispatchers are miserable and you have to talk down to em. i agree that you get out of what you put into it. yea i'll probily have to stay out for a month to make any money no problems with that. and i don't expect to make top dollar being a rookie its like any other carreer you start from the bottom and work your way up i love the newbies that think there gonna make top pay LOL. but thats what the ad's and recruiters do is glamourize trucking making em think they will get the max miles every week all year long as recruiters are sales people for the company no sale they get fired. i thought of running for them with my own truck but it don't seem worth it with there pay scale after what id'e be shelling out for fuel insurance maintance and my pay.
