Truck Driver Training Stabbing

Mike C. Can you paste the link or article that states the company? Actually that company is close to me- I live in Missouri and I believe their home office is in Nebraska. I've thought about working for them.

Now don't believe everything on the internet but "they" say.Link stating company

What a shame? Werner HQ, is in Omaha. I can only imagine the phone call. Police: "Hello, this is the Bell County, and we need to speak to the next of kin, etc...."

Here's the article stating Werner:

Wow I guess Werner doesn't do a hair follicle test on their new hires.....😞😞

This right here is a good example why hair follicle testing on new hires would help prevent something like this happening again.

Not to say the fella was a tweeker but that kinda uncontrolled violence is an example of that type of habitual drug users reaction to stress and confrontations in close quarter confined spaces.

I said a prayer for the trainers family.

Some people are just prone to violence. Tweaking has nothing to do with it.

I occasionally drive by Werner HQ on my runs.

Maybe not tweaking, but what about twerking?

My SO is a trainer for Werner. Of the last 10 trainees on his truck only 1 was not a safety concern (either personal or otr) The majority had already been on a truck with one and sometimes two other trainers and had been kicked off for personal safety issues. One was a road safety issue. One was decent but decided life on the road wasn't for him. His last (and best) is on a visa and gets incredibly nervous on a DOT inspection, worried if there is an infraction his visa status would be affected. With what I hear about the caliber of trainees on his truck I'm thankful he's a Marine (combat vet recently retired) who worked cert at Camp David....can spot a nut job a mile away.

A year or so ago there was a team truck and while one guy was driving his team mate hit him in the head with a hammer. Combat training or not is not going to protect you when you don't see it coming.

I don't know how you figure that at all. The guy was probably severely mentally unstable. A mental health evaluation maybe

Here it is

NEW INFO- News states- Trainer communicated to Werner that trainee is uncooperative and a reckless driver.
