Just finished my six weeks of training with Werner, and plan to test out later this week.
But to be honest, I don't know if I want to continue with this company. My trainer, who was wonderful, has lost $3000 in the past month or so because her truck was down. Werner sent us to JFK to get a load even though we had a faulty starter. So, that meant we couldn't shut the truck down in NYC, where they have no-idle laws. My trainer said if we got nailed with a ticket, she'd make Werner paid for it, since they weren't going to approve getting the starter fixed until we got back to the terminal.
There are lots of other things going on too, my first roommate at the hotel got finished with training without taking any paid time off, and thought she would get the $500 bonus for going all six weeks without taking a break. She went through HELL but kept going. She tested out, then, since they weren't going to issue her a truck, made her go home. After about 2 1/2 weeks, she finally did get a truck. She made her first delivery, and tried to get her $500, but the company said she took off too much time between testing out and delivering her load, even though they MADE her go home, so they didn't pay her the $500. Not surprisingly, she quit. I've heard a lot of unhappy Werner drivers complain about stuff, breakdown has to be the worst.
Can anyone suggest a decent company that will hire inexperienced drivers who want to travel with a small dog? Thanks.
