How To Return The Truck

Glad to hear it! Smart choice.

Glad to see everything will work out great for you and that you're leaving on good terms. Just out of curiousity, is new company willing to waive the new policy or are they going to have you go out with a trainer? Hope things go well for you.

Let us know how things went with this last load and how the orientation is at Werner. Doing the right thing wins in the end and shows that you have good character.

This last load continues to be a pain in the arse. The shipper informed me that it would not be ready before the storm arrived. So past the info onto our office, and a couple hours later we were taken off that load to repower a load going to ohio.

For those of you keeping track Ohio is no where near Laredo, TX. Lol.

I explained that we could do it but needed to be routed to our yard in South Holland Illinois right after so we could get home. She did one better and routed us to the yard directly where a regional guy will make the delivery.

Called Werner and explained the situation, they were very good about rescheduling us for orientation on Wednesday in Indianapolis.

All in all with the exception of having to deal with some weather tonight and strong winds right now, this should work out better with 36 hours or so of home time thrown in between load and getting on a bus.

As for trainer or no trainer - we will have to go out for 2 weeks with a trainer. Which in thinking about it I'm okay with. I have zero snow driving time... and I'd like to do some with an experienced driver before navigating it on my own.

I'll create a separate post on the Werner orientation once we go through that.

Glad to see things working out for you!

Looking forward to your Werner posts.

Stay Safe

Excellent idea. There is NEVER such a thing as too much training.

Well done! All in the life of a trucker. You start clean and a clear mind

I have been with Werner for 13 months, they would want/expect you to do the right thing with regards to CR England.......I too am switching from Werner to a new company, and the new company told me that a position is available after I have completed my disposition of my truck, and I haven't given my notice yet.
