    Pretty much no to the latter two. A sign on bonus might be acquired if you sign to drive a less than desirable account - like Family Dollar for New England, the companies worst Safety account.

    They do but it's not much.Any company that doesn t pay much to begin with you can bet their added benefits isn't much either.The layover pay is $50.00 a day and starts the minute you're parked.Back when I was at Werner detention started 12 hours after your appt time and like ten an hour.Brkdown is 50.00 a day plus they pay for your motel.If youre stuck at a Werner terminal waiting for your trk to get serviced you'll get 50.00 a day and you'll have to spend the night in your trk unless to pay for your own room.If you're waiting hours for a driver to swap loads with or waiting hrs at a drop yard or terminal for a load you do not get paid for waiting.That's how it was when i was there..If their policies have changed you still won't be receiving much.

    Actually Werner does have a sign on bonus but not without strings attached of course and they post the highest number.5000 and ten thousand dollar sign on bonus.But for the new guys and gals it's a thousand dollar bonus and that's for solo drivers.
