Do you think Werner will fire me?

So basically I picked my girlfriend up in Colorado this morning before heading over to the Denver terminal, security guard asked me if I had a pass for her and I wasn't aware of that. Now I'm on hold and have to explain to safety what happened and hope they don't fire me, I had to put my girlfriend in a hotel down the street and I can't leave Werner property or they fire me on the spot. If they don't fire me, I have to get a permit for her as a passenger tomorrow, any idea how long that takes? We both are far from home and I can't pay for a hotel for the next week

T680 electrical problem

Okay, so my t680 runs fine except when I use my 12v plugins. I plug my phone in and it says it's charging but it starts dying instead. I tested my phone in a wall outlet and it charged right up. But for some reason my 12v plugins have extremely low voltage or something. I'm not sure what it could be?

Nevada CDL

Hey guys, I'm just curious because I can't get a hold of the Las Vegas DMV. I'm a New Hampshire resident but I'm moving to Vegas in about two weeks. What does Nevada require to switch my license over? Any retesting or anything like that?

Schneider?

I decided I'm leaving Werner and going to Schneider intermodal orientation in Chicago. I can't keep doing OTR and I'm sick of complaining and being unhappy. I spoke to a Schneider intermodal driver who said it would be the best decision ever, so I guess I'll find out soon. Anyone who can tell me what to expect? I'm probably turning my truck into Werner this coming week.

Good cell phone carriers

Hey guys, just curious if AT&T had good coverage as an OTR guy here. Just got a new iPhone and it seems decent, but I'm wondering if I should just return it, pay an extra 10$ a month and get the same plan but with Verizon instead?

Sitting constantly

So I just started up with Werner not too long ago. I got m sometime and they're leniant on it too which is pretty cool. But now I can't seem to get a load away from the house. I've been waiting around and they can't seem to find anything. Anyone ever have that problem with Werner? Hate to admit it but when I was with Swift I was always moving, I mean I can't complain about being at home, but I need to make money too.

Company advice

I need some advice. I just left Swift, won't get into details but I took time off and couldn't get my job back. I'm driving for Werner right now OTR, honestly I hate OTR, I have a daughter I can barely see now. Schneider offered me a regional job, 4 days out 3 days home but I need to obtain my hazmat in 60 days. They wanna fly me to Chicago next week, i m resistant because I just started Werner and I don't want it to look bad on my job record looking like I jump company to company. I kinda wanna go to Schneider, but running hazmat in Boston and New york just doesn't seem appealing to me either, especially at 35cpm, now that's with stop pay, apparently 900 minimum weekly, I'm making the same at Werner.

Cascadia or T680

So I used to drive a cascadia, I just went to Werner and got a brand new 680, it's such a nice truck. Problem is I hate the sponginess in the shifting and the throttle seems delayed. I love the shifting in the cascadia but they're not as nice. I'm going to be running new York city, so as far a turning radius and overall size, what would be my best bet? Opinions?

Werner

Arrived at Werner on Thursday, did a hair follicle on Friday. Whole class for their results and are on their way out. Meanwhile mine is apparently still "pending" I'm sitting here trying not to lose my mind. I've called corporate twice, they won't pay me anything for sitting these extra days, I'm a qualified driver and was told I would get my truck Monday. Nobody seems to care, I'm really starting to regret this.

Driving the boroughs

I just left Swift and came to Werner, they have a dedicated super close to my house, only thing is I'm required to deliver to all the boroughs in NY, how difficult do you think this is for a driver with 7 months experience? I'm very confident in my backing skills.
