    Tell me sumpthin', ........ does tellin' an F/M, STL, dispatcher, travel agent, or whatever, really work?
    A dispatcher by whatever other name they're called, isn't a person to make angry or get them upset. It's not wise to leave a bad taste in a dispatcher's mouth. Dispatchers can make or break a Big truck truck driver.

    Personally, I've never used the "Tell 'Em" approach. I've relied on the 'Ask To Discuss A Situation' method, in person if possible. Regardless of the outcome of a meeting, I "tell" 'em Thank you.
    I don't "tell" 'em how to run the company. They'd have to pay me for those services. I don't clean up shabby companies for nuthin'. :biggrin_25512:

    Besides, lj, --- the originator of this thread, has probably moved on by now. If lj is still with Werner after almost six years, he doesn't seem to be complainin' 'bout it anymore. :biggrin_25525:

    well I have a little bit to say about all that I have read on this page,to start,my husband did have a really good trainer compared to what we have heard from others. As far as the pay,,,,what a freakin joke,,what pay,my husband worked (drove) a total of 70 hours this week,,his pay was a whopping $225.00,,to me,thats just crazy,I would have told them where to go real fast,however,my husband cant do that,out of fear of not being able to find another job,due to being fresh out of school ,he has no accidents and a great driving record,but only been driving for a little under 6 months,there has been weeks of only $95 bucks ,and he is driving,not sitting,,also ,,his truck was a pig pin when he got it,we had to clean it,,they said they would give him the money back for cleaning it,,they lied,,the money he makes sucks for the sacrfices he has had to make ,,also I didnt read about this,but be carefull,you will tell them your out of time and magicaly,,you will have 5 hours so you can do what they want you to,,then these idiots turn around and fine my husband,,honestly I see nothing good about Werner,,not one thing,,that whole thing Werner cares,,,hahahahahahahahah,,,thats a bad joke !!!

    You don't know the half of it. We were in a truck that at the end had over 650,000 miles. They then sent us to pick up current truck. It took us four days to clean out the truck. Driver who had it before us was NASTY. We cleaned 3-4 inches of dog hair off back wall alone. Driver's dog left smelly presents for us. Dog had pissed on mattress and they refused to give us a new one. We went out and bought our own and it's so much better than anything Werner would have given us. Got a payraise two weeks ago and it still hasn't gone in effect. I also had two trainers. The first one sucked royally. I'm female and had a male trainer. Wasn't given ANY privacy. Was still in the same clothes I left out in 4 days before returning.

    I have known a truck driver friend who is at least 4 bills and his personal hygene is disgusting. I can't even be in the same room with him. He is a smoker and the inside of his truck looked like a bomb exploded in there. He's a nice guy but there is no excuse for not taking a shower and keeping clean. When he gets fuel he can get a free shower but he doesn't take it. My husband has cleaned out trucks that looked like the previous driver has peed all over everything and left his pee jugs full and in the truck. My husband is not a smoker and it is really hard to get that smell out of the leather and the seats of his truck. I grew up with truckers and I know the life. I know that you also need to be presentable to your customer because you are representing your company. No one wants to deal with a disgusting foul smelling trucker. Just a thought....

    I quit werner today due to the horrible truck they tried to give me. Werner is ridiculous. Training and trying to make a paycheck from.
