also if you were looking at joining a company would it be worth it to go to werner and take the 50 a week pay cut and get eh benefits quicker or go with the other company who pays 375 a week and doesnt give benefits for 90 days
how are miles at werner right now?

Low...low...low...cpm at any years exp if not on good dedicated run ...
1800-2200 miles per week avg non dedicated solo miles...At .26 cpm 48/canada...15cpm dead head /21-26 cpm load average for most regional like 11western or south western ...
As for Allentown Pa term it is shy on trucks for issue and nice ones very rare ...good bet you'll end up traveling to another term for truck or recoverning ...
Now if you can get a good dedicated account I'd say good deal...however the base critera for good ded accounts is locatioon if you don't live in the right area you'll never be accepted unless you move .
However Werner is a good place to get your 1st year in they have well maintained trucks that range from newish-new there are some beaters in the batch due to driver error but overall very good trucks...they have a fair idle policy for the trucks that don't yet have apus ...They have a very well organized set up and have most of the driver ammenities you would want otr like 24/7 dispatch...numerous drop yards...many terminals ...
What's your list of companies look like ? ...If you live in PA within 200mi of hazelton that should put you in the running for the office-max account ,as they have a DC in Hazelton,PA .
