Werner Recruiting and Werner Training

A Class A CDL is required to operate large trucks. You must pass a written exam as well as a driving test administered by your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

The Written Knowledge Examination

We took this video from WernerEnterprises YouTube channel.

A learner's permit is required before you may get behind the wheel of a large truck to train. It allows you to operate a commercial vehicle as long as a certified CDL driver is in the front seat. Passing the written test demonstrates that you understand the fundamentals of commercial motor vehicle laws, regulations, and road safety.

Roadmaster's classroom instruction will help you pass the written knowledge exam. However, we do not stop there.

Roadmaster Driving School teaches you all you need to know as a new truck driver.

• Inspection of equipment
• Trip preparation Map reading
• Compliance with regulations

The CDL Skills Exam

When you acquire your CDL training with Roadmaster, you'll have access to cutting-edge equipment for practice and on the day of your driving test.

Roadmaster will provide you with hands-on instruction in the safe operation of a commercial motor vehicle as well as important transportation jobs.

• How to Move in Tight Places
• Supported by a trailer
• Trailer attaching and unhooking procedures

You're now ready to develop your abilities and transport freight with Werner safely and successfully after completing Roadmaster training and obtaining your CDL. You'll meet your Werner leader, who will accompany you while you do real-world hauling jobs. We call them "trucking chores" since trucking entails more than just traveling up and down the highway.

Your Werner leader will show you how to use the truck's tablet-based communications system securely and effectively.

• Accept or decline job assignments
• Use electronic maps and GPS to keep track of your journey.
• Obtain roadside help in the event of a breakdown.

You'll learn how to correctly file daily inspection reports, weigh your freight, and do other over-the-road chores.

Werner trucking pay

You are already useful to the industry as a novice truck driver. Earning a CDL is a significant achievement in and of itself. However, after 6 months of driving experience, you will have access to even more chances.

Werner now has a universe of possibilities. Here are a few examples of well-paying employment for experienced drivers:

Team Driving

Take a road trip with a buddy, spouse, significant other, or anybody you like. You both get a lot of miles, thus you both make a lot of money. You don't have somebody to accompany you on the road? That's OK. Werner can put you in touch with a colleague who is a good fit for you.

• Werner's team, $73,000 on average each year
• Toro Team, $70,000 on average per year

Freight delivery was expedited. Federal Express (now FedEx) used the tagline "When it absolutely, certainly needs to get there overnight" in 1979. Next-day delivery is becoming the norm in e-commerce, and the demand for expedited freight is increasing. This is an ideal driving specialization for team drivers.

Dedicated cargo

Werner works with a number of companies to meet their supply and transportation needs. Driving for a dedicated account entails serving a single high-value customer. This helps to make your work week more predictable. Many loyal drivers return home on a weekly basis. Some employees even get daily home time.

• Anheuser-Busch devoted, average annual salary of $66,000
• Walmart is committed, with an average annual salary of $72,000

Temperature-controlled

A reefer, or refrigerated trailer, is required for perishable cargo. These shipments require special attention, and safe, on-time delivery is essential. Drivers in the temperature-controlled fleet earn an average of $69,000 per year.

Intermodal. Import and export freight is transported by a variety of ways, including ocean liner, barge, rail, and truck. When moving by truck, the freight is put into specialized containers that fit onto a trailer chassis.

The final stretch. A shipment is frequently made up of separate orders to many consumers in the same city or geographical area. Orders are broken down and put into city transit vehicles for ultimate delivery at a warehouse or cross-dock.
