If your not afraid to run your but off and get hooked up with the right guys its prolly one of the higher paying jobs around, empty half of the time, but onse u get loaded you don't stop wether its 30 miles or a 1250 mile you drive strat through.... -

for a fella to get fired from swift he had to do more than jus run over a fire hydrant. everyone knows what swift stands for rite? See What I F***ed up Today -

You've heard my piece on Werner so I'll just say based on the list of trucks, if you want fuel economy, get whatever has the non-DPF Detroit in it.

How much is your fuel bonus actually going to be? $5,000 a year? More? Less?

I'm guessing much less by the time all is said & done....better off losing a few bucks out of a paycheck to be comfortable. Back doctors are way more expensive than any fuel bonus will ever offset. -

It doesn't take much in nebraska to get right with it I go to grand island a lot and can make pretty good time... You hit about 80 and most guys are asking for their doors back cause their limited out at 65-70 and really makes it look like your movin when you go by them, Going to NC tommorow so I'll have to slow down my ways a little.. -

I used to love to run with ya'll crazy bullhaulers. Me and this guy in a blue Pete with a bullrack made record time comin across I-70 in Ohio one day. I dont think we came under 90 mph all the way across unless four wheelers got in our way. Best trip i ever had across that damn slow state -

got done with orientation tuesday night, got picked up by my trainer late wednesday night. I've got 1200 miles in 2 days. I'm on the dollar general run. trainer says I'm going 2 do all the driving and he'll do the unloading, that's fine with me! I'm driving a new freighliner century with the new DD15 and a super 9. with the way the truck is geared and governed, there's not enough poop to get the 9 into overdrive which is fine cause she'll hold 65 on mild grades. the overdrive is suppose to be automatic.

My trainer took the weekend off so he put me in a motel. Werner is paying for 1 night and he's paying for the other!

So....from what I've been told/heard about Werner seems to be a bunch of B.S. or maybe I'm just lucky??? So far so good. All of the drivers I've talked to have been with the company for quite a few years and seem 2 be happy! -

Glad its goin good. Just be careful. Truckin can be risky business, you aint never but just one F up away from jail or death. Oh and stay out of them pickle parks, weird stuff goes on in there -

Good luck with the new truckin job enjoy I drove for an independent co. for 5 years loved it.
