Upon completition of my 275 (actual 300) hours and 15,000 miles of accident/incident free driver's training, I requested that I be assigned a truck and provided a OTR (solo) opportunity. Werner's response was that they didn't have any OTR jobs available. They stated that I would have to remain in "trainee" status until such time as a position became available. I replied that I couldn't continue on the $45/day student driver pay and that I would seek employment with another company...little did I know what would follow. My trainer was clearly angry at me because he assumed I would remain with him for another month or so. When he dropped me off at the Dallas terminal, he gave me a lousy evaluation that he reluctantly and embarrassedly signed. He refused to give me the required road test and I had to go to the safety department to schedule a road test from one of their employees. The test was a 20 minute sham conducted by a department goon who had an obvious agenda. I was not going to pass his test and subsequently received the news the following morning when he said that It was determined that I was to be terminated. He took my employee badge and 30 minutes later I was waiting for my Greyhound Bus at the Dallas station. 3 unbelievably miserable days later I arrived back in Bangor Maine. I soon discovered that none of the other major trucking companies that have similar student driving programs will not hire if terminated from another company. I am convinced this is because they are all perpertrating similar scams and once you have gone through one program you have them figured out. They are accomplishing "Team" driver deliveries while only paying the trainer real wages. As soon as the student is released, the trainer is already off to pick up his next student and thus the program remains ongoing, hardly missing a beat. Werner should be ashamed of how they treated me and they should be held accountable for using this sham student driver training program to create team accounts. If I can't drive I would gladly move on. This isn't the case as my 300 hours/ 15,000 miles of actual logbook (safe,accident/incident) driving record reveals. The road test was an absolute sham and I can prove myself to anyone who is unbiased, impartial, and not a company stooge. I believe that a class action law suit is just hanging out there waiting for the right labor lawyer to grab it. How many other student drivers have experienced fundementally the same disgraceful terminations and can't get a trucking job to this day? Someone with federal oversight authority with respect to the trucking industry should be all over this situation. Let's get this case on the road to justice and double-clutch it right into high gear!!
