Werner Enterprise orientation 2022

Just letting new truck drivers know how Werner orientation is. That’s it’s a lot of paper work and listening , you will go through pre-trip , backing , coupling , and road drive

[@andreawaymireable]

Very good video. Straight to the point. Thank you my friend

[@charliebravo5562]

That was the best explanation of what happens during orientation I’ve heard. In some of these other videos people get long-winded and start talking about Star Wars, or what they have for lunch that day. This was concise and to the point. I wasn’t looking for details cause I’ll get that at the school and will go through the experience myself, so this was perfect. Thanks!

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

No problem man thank you I’m glad I helped

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

If you got more questions feel free to ask

[@shanemaddox5049]

So pretty much once you find out how much responsibility they load you with and work and downtime is pretty much when you quit

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

😂😂😂😂 nah but Werner does have hella shit you do before coming a solo driver

I’m about to start a local route, do I do orientation then come back home? Or do I go over the road with a trainer?

Hey did they give you a new medical card during orientation? Or do I need to get another one before I get there? (Mine expired)

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

Before u get there

Good job. Other versions of this are ridiculously long winded and unfocused. Thank you for being respectful and informative.

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

Thank you so much

Why do they confiscate your rental car keys?

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

Because if you got a rental car it’s because you live far away or you had to drive back far

[@martinkeehn1108]

Springfield, Ohio Terminal puts trainees up in a Quality Inn. That's why they supply transportation for you to get there. So you don't leave when you see the hotel that you will be staying in. I asked staff if they have ever seen the inside of them rooms. They say thr hotel is under new management and under renovation. That hotel hasn't changed in the last three years. Continental breakfast isn't much either. Do your research

[@martinkeehn1108]

But the terminal staff are great people. It's corporate that put drivers in that hotel.

[@lifeoffatbac4092]

Yeah they do put people in these run down hotels but it’s coo u only stay there for a 34 hour rest when training then you back with trainer

And if you where in the military it’s a sheet in the packet you fill out then y’all will watch lots a slides telling you about the company and what to expect then they drug test you the same day then you do backing , sims , pre tip , road test and elearners then the next day you defensive driving course for 2 days then after that with the training part your trainer will call within 48hours or sooner you have to do mandatory 21 days on the truck and on the account you picked sometimes you won’t always train on your account you chose don’t worry then when you done wit training you come back to the terminal and test out witch is backing , sims , pre trip , road test , and elearners. Then once you done with that u pick your truck out and do more elearners for that then once your done with all that now your a solo driver
