That's it, Werner....I AM DONE

problem is werner does not use the dac system they will send any info on you thru the safety/past employment verfication form that companies use. I had three incidents (low speed backing), my first year driving didn't get fired for them stayed with werner for another year and half nothings on my dac from them,( thank GOD for it) but they show incidents on verfication form when other employers send form over.

 

w/ that incident you might have trouble getting another job,and werner wouldnt hire you back if you find that out AFTER you have alrdy quit.

always have a position lined up 100%, BEFORE you quit.

 

In all there saftey messages over Qualcom they say "Werner Cares"
Did they steal that from CBS just like they steal money from
all their drivers?

 

Yeah lane change accident are a big deal especially if I would have been in a tractor trailer but since what I was driving I could have gotten by with a class C license I didnt take lane changes as serious. I always used my signals anytime I maneuvered or made any turns in a semi. How many four wheel vehicles really use signals to make lane changes. I got it though, point taken. Thanks

 

None of them. And nothing pisses me off more.

The turn signal (aside from the brake lights) is the most important tool in "communicating" with other drivers around you, on your intentions of your next move.

Especially if I have to make a left turn onto a four lane road/highway. For the love of God it is hard enough to get going in a loaded truck....but if you help me out, and give me enough 'notice' that you will be turning.....I have a much better chance of getting out there, and turned safely.

My BIGGEST pet peeve ever!

 

I'm a werner driver, they trained me, gave me my tractor.I'm doing my job. If I find greener pastures I'll leave. Driving a truck sucks, but its also so cool! I drove for Swift and for a WINDY company. It's the same.
Keep your dispatch happy! They love you and keep you in their heart!
Don't argue or tick off Dispatch!
A 1700 week means someone is mad at you
Did I mention Dispatch? We are the front line , don't take ###### from the dispatch, but, they tell us where to go!

 

Yeah I know what you mean. I ALWAYS use my signals when making lane changes in front of a tractor trailer and I normally if possible leave about a tractor trailer length before getting back over in front of them. That is one thing that aggravates me is when people pass you and get back over, I don't understand why people have to cut so close in front of your vehicle, I always try to leave plenty of room whether it is a semi or 4 wheel vehicle. I don't see the hurry in getting back over whether someone is behind you or not.
