    It's no joke. If you try and leave Werner (like you had to leave C.R. England) Werner will make you financially responsible for truck repair costs that did not happen (or occur) while you were driving your truck. You will very likely be issued a truck that needs repairs and when you try to quit Werner, Werner will deduct from your payroll any truck repair costs at their discretion. That's why when drivers quit Werner, they don't say anything to anyone....other drivers that considered my best interests, warned me and said, "Just get the f****** truck to a terminal and go home and don't say anything." Just don't do it, man.....Southern California has a wholesale bakery that is regional....Le Chef...check out companies like "Le Chef" that do local and/or regional deliveries in your area......

    Furthermore, after Werner illegally deducts truck repair costs from your payroll for truck damages that did not even occur while you were driving, they will proceed with fraudulent DOT and/or DAC reports of accidents (that did not occur while you were driving) to support their actions.......

    Please read "DAC Violated Truck Driver Rights." The USA Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission exposed major illegal business activity because truck drivers were ending up with DOT and DAC reports that were completely fraudulent.

    Thanks Sofia, I'll check out Le Chef, let me know if you think of other companies like this one that I may apply to. I am getting that old sinking feeling.

    Fortunately, I did not end up with a DOT or DAC report against me (as far as I know). I was only with Werner less than a year without any accidents and no traffic violations....and maintained a clean MVR. Other drivers had to fight fraudulent reports on their DAC or DOT records when accidents never occurred during their Werner employment, but Werner was trying to make them financially responsible for truck damages that were pre-existing prior to the truck even being assigned.

    That's only because CRST and CRE are better at starving their newbies to death so they don't post here.

    Oh yea thats a good old game they like to play. It happened to a lot of people I worked with at Werner. Try to explain that during an interview to a new employer.

    AMEN! You said that right. People hear disgruntled employees talking badly about companies because the driver has messed up so how, therefore the dispatcher will try his patience to see how driven he/she is to keep their job.

    The severity of the organized crime extends further then the "starving" or "illegal manipulation of the newbies." The fact that the organized crime in corrupt national trucking companies is so candid, was extremely shocking. As a new driver, I had to concentrate on traffic, road construction, truck maneuvers, backing, gear shifting, weight....etc. etc. My professional concerns became critical, when I found out Werner did not want to pay for necessary truck repairs and illegally (and commonly) withheld rightful income from their drivers. If the drivers were paid correctly, they would still be grossly underpaid anyway. When I talked with Werner drivers who were stressed and angry because they had to fight fraudulent DAC and DOT reports, I realized the severe extent of the problem was more than just with new drivers. It's Racketeering In Corrupt Organization - R.I.C.O.

    Right out of trucking school I drove for Werner for a year and it was a mostly positive experience. If my truck needed fixing, they fixed it.... Never had all these problems people talk of. Best of luck.
