Werner School
Hey guys. I got accepted by Werner and they want to send me to school at Central Community College in Hastings, Nebraska. Has anyone heard about this school good or bad?

I haven't had experience at the school, but in doing some research (I'm a newbie here, too) I do know Crete takes their grads, so it's probably good enough to drop the $2,000.
Reason I say that... in talking to their recruiter, Crete was a little persnickety about what schools they will hire from, and prefer PTDI-certified schools "or equivalent." for hiring new drivers. Central is not PTDI-certified, but they are on Crete's "Nebraska Driving Schools" list. The other two are Southeast Community College in Lincoln and Metro Community College in Omaha. I believe Werner also takes grads of JTL Driving School and Custom Diesel in Omaha. I imagine Werner would take Southeast and Metro, but they're longer timewise. I think Southeast is about 10 weeks, and Metro is 6-8 weeks. If I recall, Southeast was the cheapest, if you're not in a hurry and live, or can stay in, Lincoln for the duration of the class. Good luck with Werner if you go that route. |
Thanks for the info Big Jon. Werner is my plan b choice as I am hoping to go with TMC. But if they don't hire me I might go with Werner. Do you think Crete would send me to school? I have heard they are a good company.

Stay away from Werner, look for other options or companies.

TMC is one of them. Hopefully you can get on with them. Let us know. Crete's another. As far as I know, Crete doesn't pay for school, or offer reimbursement. There's some Crete drivers on here, maybe they can confirm that. Good luck. Jon |
I spent my first year and CDL driving job at Werner. I just didn't know about anyone else. When I hired on at CFI, I found out that they hire students also, but it was too late for me of course. CFI is the best company for a new driver, much better than Werner in my opinion. One big reason is that Werner has electronic logs which eliminate cheating. If you drive over just a little bit, the Safety Dept will call you in at a terminal and waste an entire day of yours (and eveyone else's in line) explaining thier policies to you over and over. Werner is a training company. CFI trains you to be a successfull driver, not a successfull student driver. CFI is the way to go.

Stay away from Werner If they dont have the trucks avail. when you finish there training you have to stay with a trainer untill they get the trucks avail. And dont take the phase 2 with the 500 bonus at the end, If they dont have trucks you will be a good canidate to be canned.

Yeah, stay away from werner.... go get a job at McDonnalds, if you work even similar hours, you'll make more money and be home everynight.
