have a laptop with microsoft streets and trips so you can locate your shippers and cons
as werner directions suck
have a 4 pound hammer and a vise grips
so you can free the stuck tandem pins on their trailers
beat em with the hammer
the vise grips are for holding the pin release rod out
while you slide the tandems
i did werner for 8 months and useless express for 6 months
pay was better at useless but miles sucked 2000-2200
i got my 14 months total experience
and now i work for crete 41 cents a mile and practical miles
jan is a slow freight month
but i still got 3000 miles for 2 of the 3 weeks i was just out
because cretes average run is 800-900 miles
get your first year in however you can
dont waste your money paying the 1 cent a mile for per dieum
its a ripoff
buy the legal service for 15 a month
it saved my butt
then come to a real company like crete
How is it a great training company for 6 months if they treat you like dirt ?
Why not just start with Crete ?
