Anyone know much on Werner? Brothers-in-law told us to check them out but cant find too much info on them. Any information good or bad would be appreicated.

 

talk to big jeep on 44's he loves werner.

 

SMACK your brother law in the face , And tell him to stop rolling his poo into balls and eating crayons ... :lol: if you have a decent driving/criminal record you can do much better than Werner I only went to Werner ,because 8 months before I got my CDL I had two speeding tickets back to backl they were only 10 MPH over ,But most companies want no more than 1 in last 12 months ...However had I looked around beyond the companies the driving school was pushing I probably could have done better , But you live and you learn .

 

i think he needs to go with cr england :lol:

 

England pays better than Werner . :wink:

 

yea and no one can beat their fleece pruchase program :wink:

 

England does pay company drivers better than Werner , However their Fleece puchase program is just like Werners "OWNER OPERATOR" program as far as driver earnings...But all of the big companies that offer an option to buy a truck in some way or another pay about the same , So Eglands Fleece purchase plan is no better or worse than Werners "OwnerOperator" program or any other Big company truck lease or purchase plans they pay about a buck a mile after it's all said and done , And A solo driver running 3k miles will only gross to himself about $750.00 after operating costs , To be honest I thought about a lease with a Company like Trans-Am If I could run loose leaf , As I could gross about a grand a week running hard after operating costs , And lease a brand new T-600 with a tri-pak ,and 575k power train warrenty ...But I don't want to run loose leaf ,and run illegal , As I like my sleep , And I don't think I would like the worry of getting popped by DOT ,and fined .

 

Only have one question.How long have you been driving,jeepster?

 

Just a little over 2.5 years , so not very long , But long enough to know that what most companies pay a person to lease a truck on with them you would need to run beyond a legal log book , as $1.00 a mile takes many miles to net much in the way of pay after operating costs ...now if I could get constant freight at atleast a $1.50 and up and get 3k miles a week I would be signing my name , But not for running 3k miles and grossing $650.00-700.00 to the driver after expenses .

 

Well, was pretty sure I didnt want to go with them, especially after reading more on their website I found. We are pretty serious on going with Crete but brother in law said try Werner so I asked here. Dont want to be an o/o at this time, possibly never. Owned my own buisness for 10 years and not sure if I want that headache again. But I dont like being under a camera all day either (they put up cameras at our plant to watch all employees and write them up if they are caught going to the bathroom at a certain time or talking). Thanks again for the info, I think we'll stick to our current plans and go from there.
