I’m a trainer with Werner and I must say all my students have a good time with me. And even after they graduate and get off my truck they still call me and check on me. One thing that I just say is I’m on a dedicated account for Ollie’s bargain outlet so I only travel NC,SC,FL,AL,TN, and GA.. the longest my students have to drive is about 7 or 8 hours then the truck shuts down every night for 10-15 hours … so we never have to team drive and we both get our sleep at night, I’m sorry you had that experience at Werner some trainers are only about making extra money. For me I’m training because it’s what I love to do, I’m basically making the same amount of money as a solo driver but to me it’s not about the money it’s about training these new generation of drivers to drive right
@@Unique814u hola. Unfortunately no, Werner was only a stepping stone for me I have ventured off to bigger and better things that god has to offer me! Best of luck to your journey in the trucking industry ❤️
I agree! Now, multiple showers per day might be unrealistic for an OTR driver, but there is nothing stopping them from accessing showers at least semi-regularly, with touch-up bird baths in the truck. She had bad hygiene because she chose to. It seems like she skipped stops wanting to get the maximum numbers of miles in to pad her paycheck. This is an individual decision, but she should not have expected any trainee to want the same thing. The fact that she set it up as team driving further validates this. Trainees are there for 1 on 1 training, with the driver watching at all times, not team driving to pad miles.
I had a great trainer. We were both about 50. He had been with the company for years. Knew all the ins and outs. The company wanted us to run 24/7. That was never going to happen. No matter what! The day was over at 5pm. He knew every bar, restaurant in the country. I had my CDL already. That makes a huge difference. I didn't owe them a dime. We had a blast. Still using paper logs. He taught me how to run 2 books at a time. I drove most of the time. I liked it that way. Saw the whole country. If he didn't like where they told us to go he turned the load down. He didn't care. In a few minutes another choice became available. He only took real long runs. None of those short runs. He always said to tell them no to short runs. Most mornings I got up a 4am and we took off. He would sleep till around 10am. It was a great time. Electronic logs killed it for me. I went local.
Driving truck is a dangerous job. Especially if you’re new in the game. You should have plenty questions to ask. I don’t like to talk either but if I’m in exciting where I’m doing something that I know is dangerous, I need to know everything about this truck and just not sit there and observe. No
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's unfortunate that you were put in that situation, which was unsafe and unhealthy. I hope the company puts in policies to prevent trainers from putting students in unsafe situations. Trainees should be able to evaluate the trainer and weigh in on whether they continue to train/mentor future students.
Only having a yr in the industry she had no business training anyone & she so nasty for not showering. I have a portable tub in my truck so if I don’t make it to a truck stop I can still wash my a$$.
I also went thru the exact thing including sleeping in the top bunk,after doing my 11 hours my trainer drove for 11 hours,only difference between you and I was i followed my Intuition so I waited until we were going back towards our lot then let my trainer know I didnt want to continue with him.Thanks for posting your issue because I was feeling like I was the only one going thru that.
If your "trainer" sees you only as a extra pay check, and uses you as a team driver GTF out. Trainer should be in the passenger seat training, if you're team driving the trainer ain't doing shit but sleeping when you drive. This is also an issue of the company, the company should be looking and seeing the driver running out their 72 hours too. But companies don't give a shit.
That was absolutely awful. Werner was ultimately responsible for all that you endured. You could have easily had personal lawsuit against them. Starting with the safety issue of the trainer having you to sleep on the top bunk while the truck was in motion. And lastly leaving you in the middle of nowhere for hours and hours stranded. And that's why they didn't debate with you concerning a flight. They probably terminated that trainer because she was a liability. Take care
That dont even make sense they cant do that you saying you got no trainer at all? Youre a new driver? Not even western express training is that bad you gotta be lying.
@Tpitgr i went to school in 2021. In December of 24 I was handed the keys and i dropped 17 trailers. I wish I had one week training. The first day was the worst
@@Toddington444 you have prior experience? Or you never drove after obtaining cdl? It just doesnt make sense what youre saying even the worst training programs wont immediately put you in a truck with no training at all especially coming in green
@Tpitgr your right but i figured it out. Prior to this i drove a sprinter van in toronto for 7 years. This same scenario happened to my uncles who is now an owner op
I was attacked and abandoned in Florida, my money and possessions stolen by the trainer. No help to get home by company. Avoid Star transportation at all cost.
She was trying to teach you something but your attitude and disrespect got you kicked off the truck. I can’t say all she did was right, but from your own story, you come off way worse than she does. Good luck if you’re still driving. Stay safe and well rested.
That's horrible I just completed my over the road training with my trainer at Hirschbach. They do not allow you to do team driving while in training. While the truck is moving both trainer and trainee are awake and they both sleep at the same time. But I will say that the trainiee does most of the driving simply because the completion of training is based on how many hours you drive. So the trainer will drive if you request it but the more time that hes driving, the more time you'll end up in the truck because you won't get your drive hours as fast. You always do your 10 hour rest at a truck stop so you can shower daily and also when the trainer takes his off time they put you in a motel. The one thing that I didn't like about it is that I came in with experience already but because I didn't have (over the road) experience they made me go to the training course anyway
I have over 30 years otr, local, regional-vans, flatbed, reefer, tankers, pneumatics and vacuum experience..Being a trucker is knowing how to handle the rig when any situation occurs...being social is not a priority for me only when I need to get information about where a plant is located! Learn the truck and how to drive safe and slow it down out there!!
Long story short. Speak up no matter how uncomfortable it can get. At the end of the day trainers getting paid extra to take u with so fuck they feelings lol and don't make things personal. I'm so excited to start with roadmasters heard all good things
That’s true, which Roadmasters will you be attending? They are pretty dope, you will learn a lot and their trainers are here to help. I test out in two weeks.

Forget her. She knew you weren’t supposed to be on the top. She doesn’t need to be training anyone. You could have taken team showers for free with fuel points. She’s grimey. This just makes me mad. There are too many trainers out here like her. Yeah this story is so common. I can predict outcome. These trainers will wait until you are in the middle of nowhere and they will kick you to the curb. Don’t go to Prime Inc. They are terrible also. When They are lease purchase etc, they absolutely will abandon you after you drive hella miles for them to get their money. ALWAYS look for the closest major city you can go through that has a major international airports. Glad I didn’t go to Werner. These mega carriers are awful. It’s sad. Best of luck to you.
I recently got my CDL and decided to go with werner. The good thing is, they are letting my husband train me since he has experience. He will do a training the trainer course and once that’s complete, we will hit the road.
Beautiful thing to hear , I’m glad trucking allows us to be able to spend time with our spouses if needed. I hope you guys do well together and congratulations.
@@iamextremelywealthy2989 not true. Sometimes thing aren’t in your control. Customer taking forever to load you etc. can’t park at a truck stop every night
I had similar experiences with a trainer at western express..they are just the worst. I was on the truck with a trainer for 4 days and I only showered once. The trainer doesn’t believe in showering daily. He found all the excuses in the world to avoid showering. I didn’t go back the next week.
Yeah. Somebody who him/her self has only been a truck driver for a year, should not be a trainer. N O T E N O U G H E X P E R I E N C E right there. Besides that, it's VERY wrong to take your trainee to your hometown and leave them hanging and also... It's very HARD to sleep in a moving truck and as a trainee you should not be left driving alone for hours on end. And also... there is ALWAYS time for food and showers.
I think all the problems could have been avoided. When y'all had a conversation at first, should have told all the do' and don't s at first. Sad, because it's seems like y'all was getting along until you hung up on her. Glad you pushed through. Great story. You must be a great driver because you never mentioned anything about issues upon the road.
Definitely agree with what your saying but shidd when I was in the army when we would go to the field for weeks at a time girls only got to shower once a week so 2 day isn’t that bad 😂😂 n im only 27 so this was recent
I had a pretty good training experience at a different company but you wouldn’t have lasted with my trainer. I’m not gon tell you how long we went before I was like dawg I have to take a shower today! 😂 This is ridiculous. We had a couple small disagreements but overall we still cool today. I also had to train for 3 months with this guy. That was 4 years ago and luckily it’s been all up since then. I own 2 trucks (woulda been 3 but one was stolen) and several cars. Working on a home now. Keep trucking thru all the bs. You will be just fine. Keep elevating!🎃
I did FedEx Teams with my friend, and neither of us slept on the top bunk IT’S A SAFETY HAZARD ⚠️ …. Every shift my friend and i switched out bed linens Yeh that was totally SELFISH and UN SAFE of your trainer to have you sleep there. 😡 Hey sad fact: You do realize if She were to accidentally hit a LOW BRIDGE, God Forbid, … you know that’s automatically DEATH right there right ?; you don’t even stand a 1% of a chance ….. So yeh that part, I don’t like
Wow clearly she did not want you to have your me time lol 😆 And I think she knew what she was doing by trying to force you to drive. Yeah you did the right thing. Also remember though sometimes it’s best not to talk, silence can be the best remedy in situations like this lol trust me on that 😆 Don’t make her talk unless it’s necessary period. Wow that so called trainer should be fired for leaving you stranded like that, that’s ridiculous. Hopefully management put two and two together and figure that out.
Couldn’t imagine being a woman doing otr I be trippin if i go a day without a shower. Having a menstrual id want to take 10 a day got nothing but respect for woman in this field it gets rough.
Same thing happen to me I went thru 3 trainers the first actually was the worst though he wind up calling the troopers on me he also was a chatty patty I told him shut the f up dude stop talking every second to me I don't even like people like that here he was talking to me without me even engaging in the conversation he steady talking to himself 🤦🏼♂ he definitely left me stranded I had to hitch hike thanks to the troopers enforcing it too that I had to get off he sure as hell wasn't going put me off without catching these hands he got scared called 12 on me end of the day its all about respect he didn't have any I only lasted 2-3 days with him, the second trainer was a racist kept talking about politics Donald Trump I don't want to hear that while I'm driving out my whole 11hr clock every second Trump this Trump that, I tricked him into letting me off at a terminal when we got near one no more getting stranded dis time & the third one was match made got me thru real chill laid back dude still talk to this day
The unprofessional behavior is unacceptable. I think people often forget that this is a job as well a life style, trainees don’t have to talk about nothing beyond work. They be so upset you don’t want to talk to them. Glad you finished strong and got a good trainer.
I was a trainer for Werner also. When I see a trainee put the engine brake on in icy weather I kind get upset. But i was smart enough to know the break didn't work. He got upset and called safety and told them he put it on and didn't know it didn't work until I told him. He had 30 hours in with a another trainer. safety told me to drop him off. He said his scholl told him to do that. Well , I knew you didn't do that even before I went to school. I also don't believe you should go on you tube to compalin about your trainer. If you are still employed by any company. i also had a 2nd trainee who went down a no truck street. Found out he a ticket in Ca for the same thing. The first trainee I almost just dropped him at a truck stop for him being unsafe. He said I couldn't do that. Well yes I could of. Bus drivers can if passenger is acting out and bothering the peopel and the bus driver. Same rule. Trainer actually only has to drop trainee of at a safe place if their unsafe driving by law.. Then call local law enforcement to let them know. Trainee's sometimes get too cocky also.
You are not suppost to be sleeping on the top bunk while your trainer is driving u suppose to sleep on his or her bunk the lower one i was told onecs that truck stop for 10hurs then u go top and sleep cause like u said with all that wiggling gping on down the Road u can fall out of there just take there blankets and sheets off there bottom bunk and just throw your covers on top of there bunk much safer that way u heard me drivers Ha Ha
Wow that’s crazy! For all the time it took for her to try to check you on the phone, you could definitely have taken a shower. Sorry you had a bad experience with your trainer smh. It really depends on who you get with Werner from trainer to fleet managers. You should have had the app downloaded. They have all the terminal info and everything on there.
That’s why the young drivers can’t drive how do you get 28 days of training back in the 90s we had to have six months of training approved with a trainer before you get your own truck. Not a putting them out here in 28 days that’s why they can’t drive and they can’t drive manual trucks not enough training
Lol 😂 agreed cause I was not ready by the time I left Werner ,after I left there I got 3 months of training with my new job . So with Wenrner and more new job I got 5 months of training . However I can’t drive manual more so cause schools was saying we no longer needed it . I drive in the snow daily where I live so I learned a lot within those months, and I’m still learning with time.
Good job. You took care of yourself. Seriously you can do better in life. Keep your day job f-ck OTR and look for your real calling. Trust me it is NOT trucking. You have a voice and a purpose. Get paid for now in your current job, rethink your life strategy and move on. Sure you could be a good at whatever you do and I am positive you are a good driver, and would be a good safe trucker, but why? It is not for everyone. I dont know you though. Trust your gut, and plan for your future. Don't waste your life or your true gifts whatever they are. Maybe this happened for a reason. There are alot of abusive people out there not just in trucking. Trucking is an easy place for them to land though and abuse others. It is a very distorted power balance. A real set up for sociopaths and psychopaths to play in when you are trapped in a cab with them. So be safe, be wise and think twice about your future. There are lots of great men and women in trucking too, you could be one of them. But if it's not your calling get out.
Definitely not my calling but I currently love what I do . This is just my stepping stone until further notice however I will always make the best out of it and enjoy my time doing it safely and professionally. Thankyou for wisdom and kind words .
the Rules of sleeping in the top bunk while the vehicle is in motion is a major No no 1 companies do not allow it and the law will frown upon it You Should of reported this trainer to werner safety the method she was using you it was for her comfort and income more then yours, One more thing I tell everyone because it is the plain truth OTR Chooses the driver The Driver Dont choose OTR Because if you have no issues being away from home for mnths at a time then yeah do it to it but if you want to be home more often then regional and local is your better choice Good Luck with your driving future
Wow becoming distant after a few weeks is almost un believable. I had the same feeling keep it 100. After a few weeks and long night drives getting those hours become so important the conversation becomes un warranted.. like we both know why I'm here. Let's not, and say we did
@DeeLyfeStyle I will never understand why people are like that. I don't drive trucks but im looking into it, but these stories have me like 🫠😂 do I want to even want to drive trucks lord
@@deelyfestyle did the company fire her and if you see her again will you slap her or smile cause after all that stuff she put you in she laugh and talk bad about you but to abandon you like that ain't cool at all I'll rather see more young ladies on the the men cause women driving more safely
Listen and listen good. You will never make money working for people. Get the money together get your own mc and dot# own insurance. And get on load board. First few months are tuff but you will make it. You can find a good truck for 15 to 20k. Even if it's a day cab make it work. You got this. Don't give up. Worst case you will have to make a few bucks on the side at truck stops but 20 is 20 u fell. 😛
A world full of chocolate? What is that? Also it would be a lot better if you could take the racist ghetto song off the front of your video, says the n word and talks about killing.. not good
Everything you stated in this video is part of trucking sometimes not being able to shower the long unloading times that's just part of trucking I think you should have just stuck it out and do what you got to do and that's it you know it wasn't a big deal what was going on

I’m not gon tell you how long we went before I was like dawg I have to take a shower today! 😂 This is ridiculous. We had a couple small disagreements but overall we still cool today. I also had to train for 3 months with this guy. That was 4 years ago and luckily it’s been all up since then. I own 2 trucks (woulda been 3 but one was stolen) and several cars. Working on a home now. Keep trucking thru all the bs. You will be just fine. Keep elevating!🎃
P
I did FedEx Teams with my friend, and neither of us slept on the top bunk IT’S A SAFETY HAZARD ⚠️ …. Every shift my friend and i switched out bed linens
Yeh that was totally SELFISH and UN SAFE of your trainer to have you sleep there. 😡
Hey sad fact: You do realize if She were to accidentally hit a LOW BRIDGE, God Forbid, … you know that’s automatically DEATH right there right ?; you don’t even stand a 1% of a chance …..
So yeh that part, I don’t like
Shame on your trainer and Werner for allowing that to happen. Werner should fire her very unprofessional of her smh
Facts, like asap
@@livelifegrand most definitely. Only way to make it right
I’m sorry but I LMAO when you said the guy said “this ain’t a terminal this a drop yard” 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, just wow, God bless your situation.
I could have told this story in 3 min.
Good thing I was the one who was telling it 😩
Wow clearly she did not want you to have your me time lol 😆
And I think she knew what she was doing by trying to force you to drive.
Yeah you did the right thing. Also remember though sometimes it’s best not
to talk, silence can be the best remedy in situations like this lol trust me on that 😆
Don’t make her talk unless it’s necessary period. Wow that so called trainer should be
fired for leaving you stranded like that, that’s ridiculous. Hopefully management
put two and two together and figure that out.
Couldn’t imagine being a woman doing otr I be trippin if i go a day without a shower. Having a menstrual id want to take 10 a day got nothing but respect for woman in this field it gets rough.
Same thing happen to me I went thru 3 trainers the first actually was the worst though he wind up calling the troopers on me he also was a chatty patty I told him shut the f up dude stop talking every second to me I don't even like people like that here he was talking to me without me even engaging in the conversation he steady talking to himself 🤦🏼♂ he definitely left me stranded I had to hitch hike thanks to the troopers enforcing it too that I had to get off he sure as hell wasn't going put me off without catching these hands he got scared called 12 on me end of the day its all about respect he didn't have any I only lasted 2-3 days with him, the second trainer was a racist kept talking about politics Donald Trump I don't want to hear that while I'm driving out my whole 11hr clock every second Trump this Trump that, I tricked him into letting me off at a terminal when we got near one no more getting stranded dis time & the third one was match made got me thru real chill laid back dude still talk to this day
The unprofessional behavior is unacceptable. I think people often forget that this is a job as well a life style, trainees don’t have to talk about nothing beyond work. They be so upset you don’t want to talk to them. Glad you finished strong and got a good trainer.
uhh I have a friend like this .... its a power thing . super lame
Things they don't tell you about in school😂
If you have control of your emotions there would be no reason to throw things around.
@@marvymarv959 agreed , as of today I am a different person vs 3 years ago. Thank you for the advice
I was a trainer for Werner also. When I see a trainee put the engine brake on in icy weather I kind get upset. But i was smart enough to know the break didn't work. He got upset and called safety and told them he put it on and didn't know it didn't work until I told him. He had 30 hours in with a another trainer. safety told me to drop him off. He said his scholl told him to do that. Well , I knew you didn't do that even before I went to school. I also don't believe you should go on you tube to compalin about your trainer. If you are still employed by any company. i also had a 2nd trainee who went down a no truck street. Found out he a ticket in Ca for the same thing. The first trainee I almost just dropped him at a truck stop for him being unsafe. He said I couldn't do that. Well yes I could of. Bus drivers can if passenger is acting out and bothering the peopel and the bus driver. Same rule. Trainer actually only has to drop trainee of at a safe place if their unsafe driving by law.. Then call local law enforcement to let them know. Trainee's sometimes get too cocky also.
You are not suppost to be sleeping on the top bunk while your trainer is driving u suppose to sleep on his or her bunk the lower one i was told onecs that truck stop for 10hurs then u go top and sleep cause like u said with all that wiggling gping on down the Road u can fall out of there just take there blankets and sheets off there bottom bunk and just throw your covers on top of there bunk much safer that way u heard me drivers Ha Ha
How many States have you been to,😊 Since you became a trucker?
Only west coast and some Midwest
Had this same prob in training because I didn’t want to interact other than for training purposes 🙄
It got dark fast af 😂
@@joerogan6161 😆
I would love to go OTR but having a trainer is not for me, no way Jose
A good trainer makes a world of difference.
Wow that’s crazy! For all the time it took for her to try to check you on the phone, you could definitely have taken a shower. Sorry you had a bad experience with your trainer smh. It really depends on who you get with Werner from trainer to fleet managers. You should have had the app downloaded. They have all the terminal info and everything on there.
Yes indeed, I agree I should’ve .
That’s why the young drivers can’t drive how do you get 28 days of training back in the 90s we had to have six months of training approved with a trainer before you get your own truck. Not a putting them out here in 28 days that’s why they can’t drive and they can’t drive manual trucks not enough training
Lol 😂 agreed cause I was not ready by the time I left Werner ,after I left there I got 3 months of training with my new job . So with Wenrner and more new job I got 5 months of training . However I can’t drive manual more so cause schools was saying we no longer needed it . I drive in the snow daily where I live so I learned a lot within those months, and I’m still learning with time.
Seems to me it was cool for her to do what she wants, but very controlling towards you when you explain and expressed to her.😮
Good job. You took care of yourself. Seriously you can do better in life. Keep your day job f-ck OTR and look for your real calling. Trust me it is NOT trucking. You have a voice and a purpose. Get paid for now in your current job, rethink your life strategy and move on. Sure you could be a good at whatever you do and I am positive you are a good driver, and would be a good safe trucker, but why? It is not for everyone. I dont know you though. Trust your gut, and plan for your future. Don't waste your life or your true gifts whatever they are. Maybe this happened for a reason. There are alot of abusive people out there not just in trucking. Trucking is an easy place for them to land though and abuse others. It is a very distorted power balance. A real set up for sociopaths and psychopaths to play in when you are trapped in a cab with them. So be safe, be wise and think twice about your future. There are lots of great men and women in trucking too, you could be one of them. But if it's not your calling get out.
Definitely not my calling but I currently love what I do . This is just my stepping stone until further notice however I will always make the best out of it and enjoy my time doing it safely and professionally. Thankyou for wisdom and kind words .
lol tf she thought 😂
@@kwamdrew7918 idk I was trying to figure it out lol
i really watched this whole video the story was crazy haha but yea definitely staying away from big companies
the Rules of sleeping in the top bunk while the vehicle is in motion is a major No no 1 companies do not allow it and the law will frown upon it You Should of reported this trainer to werner safety the method she was using you it was for her comfort and income more then yours, One more thing I tell everyone because it is the plain truth OTR Chooses the driver The Driver Dont choose OTR Because if you have no issues being away from home for mnths at a time then yeah do it to it but if you want to be home more often then regional and local is your better choice Good Luck with your driving future
Wow becoming distant after a few weeks is almost un believable. I had the same feeling keep it 100. After a few weeks and long night drives getting those hours become so important the conversation becomes un warranted.. like we both know why I'm here. Let's not, and say we did
I'm thinking about becoming a Trucker?
Thanks for sharing your experience
Your not supposed to be in bk while driving,it’s against the law
Not the top one
Be prepared, expect the unexpected
Women shouldn't be in trucking, too much baggage.
I'm hearing alot of trainer horror stories
Girl it seems to get worse with every company you go to. My second company experience wasn’t nothing like the first I faced even more difficulties.
@DeeLyfeStyle I will never understand why people are like that. I don't drive trucks but im looking into it, but these stories have me like 🫠😂 do I want to even want to drive trucks lord
@@AshleyNJohnson don’t let that stop you ,training is the hardest part to get through when you done you will be good! Go get that CDL girl
Oh babe .. boundaries aye.
Ya should take the high
road you can say I wasn't
trying to offend you but
I need my 30 minutes
break for down time.
See? Yall better!!
Im baffled why there trucking companies insurance dont see that as a risk if something happens to one of these students.
Subscribed keep trucking 💪🏾
They closed the terminal in Henderson Colorado?
Oh NO,thats not right .
Why you let her handle you like that and there job is to teach you what you don't know not to handle cause they ain't the company you digg
I feel you but sometimes walking away from situations is better then to have it felt with . Not everything has a good ending to it.
@@deelyfestyle did the company fire her and if you see her again will you slap her or smile cause after all that stuff she put you in she laugh and talk bad about you but to abandon you like that ain't cool at all I'll rather see more young ladies on the the men cause women driving more safely
Listen and listen good. You will never make money working for people. Get the money together get your own mc and dot# own insurance. And get on load board. First few months are tuff but you will make it. You can find a good truck for 15 to 20k. Even if it's a day cab make it work. You got this. Don't give up. Worst case you will have to make a few bucks on the side at truck stops but 20 is 20 u fell. 😛
Got you agreed up until you said 20 on the side no sirrrrr
Imma do my story tomorrow once I finally get home it’s similar but kinda different
She abandoned you
Worst company ever would not recommend them ever funk Werner
Sounds just like my trainer I had at swift...
why people still do otr is beyond me 😭😂😂
@@John-ml1hc I think everyone has their preference and reasonings
We just learn as we go in life good luck
How the trucking goin
Good so far.
😴🥱🕛🕐🕑✈️🛩
Great Video

You live and learn..
Man your gangin up on her getting your click together
Bless you driver 🎉🎉❤❤❤ glad to know you are okay
A world full of chocolate? What is that? Also it would be a lot better if you could take the racist ghetto song off the front of your video, says the n word and talks about killing.. not good
Get a taste of the culture… Lolll we just not seasoned the same and that is okayy. Happy holidays
You never need to be with a trainer because of your antisocial personality which comes accross as extremely rude
She's so perfect
Hello
Welcome
Hello hello from Cali 🤗🐕🦺🦮🐕🦺🦮🐩
You shouldn't do the job
Lol 😂
You are fine
Werner sucks
👌👍
Everything you stated in this video is part of trucking sometimes not being able to shower the long unloading times that's just part of trucking I think you should have just stuck it out and do what you got to do and that's it you know it wasn't a big deal what was going on
NOT washing your ass voluntarily is not part of trucking!!! Yes you have times you can’t control but when you’re in control that is pure laziness.
