Hey all. I am a recent CDL graduate and scheduled to go with Werner to start off with. I tried many local and better companies but the only ones who offered me work were Schneider, Werner, Swift, Navajo, and Knight.

I operated a 10-speed at CDL school and hear Werner have both 10-speeds and autos. Most are telling me though that Navajo is a better company with better trucks but only have 10-speeds.

I am based in the NW. Training for Werner is in Fontana, Navajo in Denver.

I read a few posts here of Navajo. Any suggestions? Thanks

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

None for those two, but I'm currently set up to start with Knight Transportation and I've heard a lot of good about them. Werner seems to be decent enough but all I can base that off of is the recruiter so obviously with a grain of salt.

Well Knight never worked out for me. I know Navajo have no terminals in the NW except Boise. So not sure how they would give me hometime. Werner would be the same thing. Hear they are really bad from what I've read about.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

I'm with Werner, started my career November 5th last year, I have been happy, lots of miles on my dedicated account, like all companies, they have things that suck, but I can average taking home $700 per week and get home weekly, or stay out longer

Where do you continue to get all of your misguided information from? I would stop trusting those sources.
