- GETTING A LOAD ASSIGNMENT AND TRIP PLANNING FOR NEW TRUCK DRIVERS can seem a bit overwhelming. But they are important skills that you will learn and improve the more you practice. Here is a step-by-step guide for beginners. This Werner Trucking OTR Driver demonstrates getting a load assigned and then planning the trip. Kevin walks you through the process of getting a load and trip planning with his first load after home time. He'll show you what to do on the ELD (for Werner Trucking) and answers this viewer question. We hope it's helpful!

You just answered all my questions without me asking. You are a blessing
You both are doing a good job. It is great to have someone show new drivers (specifically Werner) different aspects of the job.
Thanks Sylvester!!! Much appreciated!! Glad to share what we learn to help others!!!
Thank you so much guys, I am a new CDL holder and going in. I have got so much from your channel. Great content keep up the good work.

Hey Jay!! Congratulations!!!! Glad our videos have been helpful for you!! We wish you all the best with your new career!! Let us know how it goes.
I'm so so grateful for this video!!! Excellent guidance for newbies ☆☆☆☆☆
Thanks!!!
Can you do a video on moving the tandems maybe you could film it and then talk over the video later
Good idea!! Thank you!
Love this information
Yeah!!!
Your insights and ideas provide such a great foundation for me. My werner trainer basically had me hold the wheel while he went to sleep and other than that he sort of mumbled and pointed at stuff. I'm sure many out there can relate. Good mentors are needed in this industry!! Thanks again for all you do!
Thank you all of your videos are full of great info thanks again
Thanks Luis! It’s our pleasure! Glad they are helpful!
Very good information thank you Kevin and tonya
Our pleasure!!
Good job! You two make a good team!
Thank you so much!!!
That was the most in-depth explanation I've ever heard, and since I have Werner on my mind, very helpful. Thanks so much for y'all's time! "Thoth" bless...
Werner is good! I’m getting payed 800 every week for training. I should be done in one week with my local account.
Do you happen to know when you get on with Werner? We can both make 1,000 dollars each
@@shitface4754 Wow! $800 gross or net? Either way; fantastic!
@@shitface4754 Not until 2023. I have to wait until I'm 55 to retire from the school district I currently work for to receive my pension and medical benefits. (edit) I'm too invested to leave now, or I would...
@@thedale2112 gross 850. Net about 790-800 a week. Hopefully when I’m done training I can make around 1000-1200 a week.

When planning do you use additional gps besides the Werner tablet? Is having a ‘old school’ but current, hard copy atlas a should have? (Orientation question) when talking with other Werner drivers newer than you, is there any long period of time gaps between orientation and getting a trainer available going on?? TIA
Hey there! Thanks for watching! Yes. We have the current Trucker Atlas and do use it sometimes. We supplement with Kevin’s Android and my iPhone maps. Also free version of Trucker Path for where to stop. And Werner App for approved gas stations. Sounds like a lot, but you get the hang of it.
Thank you guys for all the explanations are so helpful . I have a question for Kevin, why you put your time on duty status while you waiting for load ?
you consuming your 70 hrs , you not getting paid for that time it’s better to leave it off duty .
Yes. You are right. But Kevin doesn’t want to end up working crazy hours. He starts on duty in the morning so he doesn’t end up working late into the night. He also thinks that encourages dispatch to get him a load (but that’s just a guess). Sometimes he does stop the clock by going off duty, depending on circumstances.
@@TheJoyofTrucking it’s a good thing to do that but he might end up being on duty for a while and knowing Werner dispatch they might take an hour or more to find u a load and if it eats up ur time ur fleet manager will call u and ask u why did u go on duty before getting a load. But yeah I would to I don’t like working late
@@abdellembary8387 Yes. Those are all things to consider. So far no one has said anything to Kevin about it. And he makes a judgment call for each situation. Thanks for checking in on that issue.
Does the Werner app for your phone show the same info that Kevin showed us on the tablet?
Hey there! No. It doesn’t. It shows loads and you use app to scan bill of lading to submit to get paid.
Garmin is way , way simpler than that. However, you company gives more details. How is your new Job?
Very happy with the move to Crete. Less stress. More money. 😃👍 And we now use two Garmin. Lol!!!
Turtle here have you ever had to pay the dock people money to unload you and if you do are you reimbursed by your company
As a matter of fact it happened for the first time last Sunday. Kevin had to pay for lumpers to unload the freight. Werner gives you EFS checks for such expenses.
Does Werner assign routing? The MyRadar app is a good weather app
Thanks for watching! The ELD gives you the ‘best’ route, but you can make your own decision. Definitely keep weather in mind and decide on your own route.
Thanks for weather app recommendation!!
So you aren’t getting paid when you are driving bobtail to go and get the empty trailer?
Yes, you do get paid. Deadhead miles when he leaves from home time to get empty trailer. But not when he drove to home time.
If all the info in the tablet and it is portable, why the notebook?
So Kevin has a copy of it for his own records. Tablet stays with the company.
What is the requirements to work for Warner Trucking
What app is it that you’re using for this?
It’s the Werner company app. Also use Trucker Path for traffic and where to take the 10hour rest. And the Garmin dēzl OTR800. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Is the handy dandy wife needs to make you a form that transfers the information from the tablet to paper
Lol!! Kevin loves his pocket notebook. Werner does sell a notebook with form for filling in trip info.
What ever happened to the maps lol
Why not both be in front of the camera?
Yeah…it’s a good idea. It’s been mainly about the mike and sound quality and necessary set up. And I love filming, but I do realize we have some viewers who don’t like the “off-camera” voice. We hope to get lapel mikes in the future.
@@TheJoyofTrucking Your content is a real help to me.
@@hemimaggie We are so glad to hear that! Stay safe out there! And have fun!!
If you do a video with just him talking,
