Started with Werner back in 91'...stayed a year but back then wasn't much freight in south Texas...good company and equipment....great start...1st truck was a 1988 cabover🤦‍♂️

[@Carolinamogul]

I’m at roadmaster now and I’m going with Werner once I graduate here. This video is awesome!

[@yadabang2278]

How is roadmasster?

[@Carolinamogul]

@@yadabang2278 it’s good honestly. They definitely train you right. Only downside is where I’m at in SAVANNAH GA there short staffed so graduation has been pushed back so far a week. And getting no road hrs is slow to cause again there short staffed . Every other roadmaster school I heard is properly staffed so there turn around is good

[@usnaron1]

I just finished the DG training with my leader, it definitely isn't for everyone but it's not as bad as people make it seem. The most annoying part is backing when people are there, I swear they do the dumbest sh*t while you're backing.

[@itslexyloris]

Hey, What bound are you located ?I know right lol...Like they see us! We can barely see them 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@usnaron1]

@ItsLexyLoris I'm not too familiar with the terminology (bound) yet. I work out of the San Antonio, TX DG, though. How about you?

[@itslexyloris]

@@usnaron1 Oh I understand it’s just mean where you’re Traveling or heading to. I run north and south of east.Excluding New York thank gosh lol. How’s the dg account working out for you?

[@usnaron1]

@@itslexyloris Oh, gotcha! I usually run all over Texas, North, South, East and West. They also sprinkle in runs to New Mexico here and there but I've yet to get one. The DG account is great, I was going to go OTR but my trainer convinced me to go DG because of the pay difference. Of course it's more physical, but it's worth it pay wise. All the fleet managers are cool as well, they make sure you're getting 1,500 plus miles weekly and if you want home time you'll get it. On average I gross a little over 2,000 a check, it just depends on how many drops and pickups I do (that's usually 6 runs). My truck is in the shop at the moment, but when I get it back I'm going to try to step it up to 7 runs a week. Btw you're really pretty :)

DO NOT WORK FOR WERNER. ONCE YOU LEAVE THAT COMPANY WILL LIE ON YOUR DAC REPORT‼️

[@freemygrandma8752]

So what they lie about?

[@derrick430]

If your dog is still biting it may be allergies. My dog was biting so bad he started bleeding. We took him to the vet and he got a steroid shot for the allergies. Since then he hasn’t had that issue.

[@itslexyloris]

Thanks!Yeah my trucker sister dog experienced the same thing.

I’m happy you did too!! ❤️ oh no! I was think about getting into flat bed lol. What company are you with?

[@Ms.pretty314]

@@itslexyloris I’m actually going to be joking Werner very soon. & you should go for it especially if you want to move around more instead of just sitting majority of the time.

[@chelly9131]

Lol thanks for the info, was thinking about doing DG regional . The pit looks like it's a puppy . It's a phase (hopefully lol)

[@itslexyloris]

Anytime! If you do consider DG regional,I think a good idea would be to ask for a trainer with the DG account just so you can get an idea of that account. I forgot to mention Werner do not always pair you with Trainer’s with the same account. Yes she’s 6months. Right lol

[@jessebrantley9690]

Are still with Werner now

[@tommyaustin2575]

Dollar tree and dollar general is where the money is at tho. My trainer made 95k his first year on doller tree. It really depends on how you handle bullshit ya know. Personally I like labor. And to get to drive and unload for 6 hours I'm ok with that. The only thing I heard bad is when the store employees help unload they can be lazy.

[@jeffwoods4222]

I’m sure your trainer slaved for that 95k gross pay. The unload pay is only 170$ a trailer. Please don’t go on those dollar tree/general accounts😂🙅🏽‍♂️

[@itslexyloris]

I feel like the dollar general should be for teams only

[@KikiOnTheMove]

I am very happy I found your channel! Another female Trucker, Love it! I have an appointment to speak with the manager at the Werner location in Georgia. The only thing I'm confused about is, they're calling the school Roadmaster. Is that the name of their academy or that a partner school? Great video by the way! :) *subscribed*

[@ivotwotimes]

Yes that’s the name of Werner’s school

[@shllewis9]

@@ivotwotimes but they don’t tell the students that I guessed by myself cause they are using they tractors and trailers at Roadmaster

Hey I just came across this video I start training in Atlanta Monday and they are getting me a rental to drive from Mississippi to Atlanta and I was wondering if they pay for the gas or how does that work?

[@mariosmith9269]

I Starr with them tomorrow What r some Things I should Expect Pros n Cons?

[@shes_ah_truckher7716]

I also work with Werner! Everything in life had pros and cons! Remember the reason why you started trucking. Everyday isn’t gonna be a good day. It’s not hard at all. But it’s the small things that will frustrate you. Some things are out of your control. Trucking is all about what you make it.

[@shes_ah_truckher7716]

Pro- it’s peaceful and the freedom is Amazing Con- missing your family

[@jeffwoods4222]

Werner is home of the 46 cents a mile 😂

[@ahmen94]

I’m thinking about going to Werner after I finish school. Do you mind giving the name of your trainer ? Are you still paid if you end up having to wait for a trainer ? How often do you make it home for hometime?

[@itslexyloris]

That’s great! I think Werner is a good starting company. His name is Cleo. Good question! Yes I got paid for orientation,wait time and training $750/week. Once you complete your 21 day training the pay will stop. You have to do a 32 hr reset every week. So my hometime is normally Friday and Saturday.(because I’m on a dedicated route)I hope that helped. Good luck!!

Non. I was hired straight out of CDL school.

[@XclusiveAB]

@@itslexyloris thank you!! I just talked with somebody yesterday I’m thinking about trying them out.

[@geminijeff610]

I have a cdl with no driving experience with a company. I'm thinking about going to Werner to get some training. Is it true that I'd have to drive for them for a year if I did the training? Thank you

[@Ahannaa]

So they do test for CPap? Did you have to pay for the machine?

[@itslexyloris]

Yes. The doctor referralI;(I didn’t mention anything about my sleeping habits).You don’t have to use the machine they offer but I do; I pay monthly for it.You have to use it 4 hours aday and have to be 70% compliance in order to drive a tractor.

[@Ahannaa]

Thanks! Was it a process(like sending you home) or did they do the test right then? Lol I just don't want to keep driving back and forth

[@ViralKingTheonly1]

Nice video! I definitely will be refusing the DG account after viewing this video. Lover your content, do you post on social media?

[@Too_Live_Tay]

I have no CDL experience but I was thinking about going for the training classes werner offers. Any tips or advice? I’m thinking of contacting them next week anything I should know or questions I should ask? Should I do my schooling through them or is there a better option?

[@itslexyloris]

Hey! Umm a tip Make sure you already have your learners permit.(my cdl school didn’t require it before class started) if you go Werner route See what accounts are in your area.(You don’t wanna be stuck on a contract with Werner but they only offer “DT,DG and FD accounts in your area) What are the penalties if you decide to leave before your contract is up. And what are the penalties if you fail the cdl test more than the attempted requirement.If you go to CDL school if you decide to work with Warner they do tuition reimbursement so you still not paying for nothing in the end.You also have the community college and unemployment route.Thats all I can think about right now. I hope that helped.

[@Trucking3685]

There’s other options. Road Master doesn’t allow you to work while taking class there which is dumb. Werner is the worst company to work for. You’re better off going to Knight Transportation.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@richguev]

Just got my learner permit do they have academy or something for us new comers?

[@itslexyloris]

GREAT! Yes They do have an academy(I don’t know to much about that process) if you go attend a CDL school.Werner offer tuition reimbursement.

What account you on

[@carldatrucker]

Hey, I am looking into starting with Werner in the next couple months. Been on KZbin watching a lot of Werner Trucker videos. Which account do you have ? They definitely say not to take DG and DT. They have sooo many accounts tho. I am in TX and my closes terminal is in Dallas

[@itslexyloris]

Hey there,The accounts I recommend is Ferguson, Best Buy and tractor supply. I’ve heard good things about those and there’s no touch freight if that’s Something you’re interested in .My trainer had tractor supply.

[@carldatrucker]

@@itslexyloris thank you, I will definitely keep that in mine. Do you know how much your trainer was getting per mile on the tractor supply accounts?
