Thanks for the link. Lucky for me I`m not ging through their training school. It`s a private school. The way they talk up Werner it`s starting to make me wonder about the school too. The admin guy has already BS`d me on a couple things. I definatly think that Werner is not the company I`m going to go with. Too bad though cuz the way they talked about them I thought they would be the best place to go.
If they are like most schools they get a kickback from the company for sending them new driver trainees.
Too bad this didn't come up sooner so you would have had time to see if they would have let you use one of their trucks to get your license with!
Yeah I looked into a couple that actually paid for the training too but you have to stay with them for a year or so and they only paid like $.29 a mile which isn`t much with the 3000-3500 mile week they were talking about. I probably won`t do much better than that anyway for a while,lol. At least the school has the trucks to use and I`ll have tanker, doubles and haz mat endorsments. I got a grant that covered most of it o my out of pocket isn`t too bad of a investment. My FIL`s brother drove a car hauler for years out of southern CA and was making over 100K a year but he drove for like 25-30 yrs or something like that. He has a nice big house in LA somewhere. He retired from trucking and is now in real estate investments. I know it`s all about getting on with the right company too. Being good at the job helps alot as well. The best I ever did wrenching on bikes was $37k and we were doing ok with that so if I can get back to that or better it`s worth the money and effort to provide better for the family.
