Delaware Online has a fantastic story about a truck driver named Rick Ash, who dropped a lot of weight by eating better and exercising. In 2010, Ash quit drinking coffee, substituting green tea and lots of water, and started eating salmon, baked chicken, brown rice and vegetables.
“A lot of fruit, melon and cottage cheese,” Ash says. “I know that’s not going to sound appetizing to a lot of truck drivers. But now, one of my favorite meals is a salad.”CLICK HERE for the full story.

Werner will then get back to you to let you know if they will offer you a job. After you get a positive response from Werner you can sign up for our 160 hour Professional Tractor Trailer Training Program and get started on your training. You can finish up in as little as 3 weeks and then head off to Werner and get to work!
