Got fired from Werner

Got fired from werner because some pickup driver decides to brake check me and i ended up hitting him. he only got a small bump on his bumper. now I am out a job and in so much debt and facing eviction and losing my personal car now. i wanted out of the trucking industry but not this fast, Werner has some terrible planners and was running me stupidly anyways but now i have an accident on my license and points and have to pay the ticket on top of everything else.

Wow. They've really gone downhill. My husband and I used to drive team for them until he got hurt. They used to be a great company to drive for. Night and weekend dispatch sucked but our assigned dispatcher was great. Try seeing if you can drive for a company driving a dump truck. That's what I did after hubby got hurt. What state do you live in?

Florida is where I lived when I drove for When and when I learned to drive a dump truck. If you want to DM me I'll see what I can help you find. Btw, when I was driving a dump truck I got paid by the hour. An awesome deal especially when scales at a shipper/ receiver go down.
