    Werner enterprises use to b a fine company.me n my brother n law teamed up to make that money.my name Jefferson Thomas.I want the higher ups to see who wrote this so they can take care of some of the people that's bringing the company down.my fleet manager was don f.we was doing good at first.then they gave us dedicated on freightliner.from gastonia nc to Laredo tx.then they started trying to give us 150 miles n 75 miles n stuff like that.remember we r a team.when u don't run it they make u set a day or so.our pay days went from 1300 apiece to nothing.my brother nlaw quit.that put me as solo.then they wouldn't let me get out of the state of Georgia.forcing me to quit.I tryed to get help n terminal at lithia springs n fell on that's not my job.there r some great people at werner that want to bring werner back to its glory.n there's the ones that r bringing it down.that's why they can't keep teams.my truck # was 65861,we went to a team company .if u have a family they will starve.like I said they r people trying to bring it back up.but first must get rid of bad apples.hopefully this is good enough to help u make your mind up on werner n good luck drivers.

    When you teamed,did you look at what Werner pays?That right there should have been more then enough to apply elsewhere.Who's these so called good ppl trying to bring Werner up?You don't think the big boys at the company know whats going on?Better think again.As long as they see profits they could care less what happens.How long did your dispatcher keep you in Georgia?Next company make sure they don't have a lot of local drivers working for them.Werners locals called net ops takes a good majority of freight away from the long haulers.

    Werner is just another mega carrier crap company....
    I did six months so I could get the min to go and get hired at a local driver temp company.
    First week at the temp company I made 1000 bucks without breaking a sweat or stressed.....at Werner I was lucky to get 500...

    Werner must be getting some good money for hiring drivers they don't really need.Wonder how much subsidy they receive.

    I would choose a carrier closest to your home for many reasons. That said...if I had to do it all over again....I would go with someone like US Express on one of their dedicated accounts. I also think I heard Carter Express has a starter program.
