Werner compared to C.R. England

Werner is a very unethical company and dangerous to drivers who want to maintain a clean MVR. Their Safety Dept. actually confirmed their dispatchers are trained to coerce their truckers to drive against federal regulations and in unsafe conditions. Dispatchers are paid commission on load deliveries. Dispatchers are trained to coerce impossible ETA’s that are against their own company policies and without consideration of highway road construction, night driving and limitations and hazards that truck drivers must avoid daily and frequently result in later and more realistic ETA’s. Werner business ethics main concern is coercing all liability against the driver to permit the release of liability from dispatchers and other company departments. It is the truck driver’s DOT and federal liability when dispatchers prohibit truck repair time and compliance with the 14, 11 and 10 hour rules. Dispatchers actually want drivers to get tickets and DOT violations because it releases the dispatchers from company liability when coercing the driver beyond legal limits (although it might hurt Werner’s CSA standing when their drivers get tickets, Werner doesn’t care. When the dispatchers coerce the drivers, the drivers are forced to drive when they are tired and without consideration of federal laws that actually protect drivers and their own lives or the lives of others). The dispatchers will prevent the drivers from home time (medical authorized and agreed leave of absence) because they want to make commission without regard of the truck driver’s health or safety issues. Werner dispatchers are dangerous to a truck drivers CDL-A status and are trained to plan accidents and damages to the drivers by coercion and pressure. C.R. England requires their drivers to lease trucks. Werner doesn’t require their drivers to lease trucks; but, Werner simply pays much less then C.R. England. Both C.R. England and Werner result in a direct loss of income to the driver and further increase the liability to a driver….both are very unethical and dangerous companies. Comparatively, J.B. Hunt is much more ethical and honest. It would be lawful, if Werner is in court within the terms of a Class Action A lawsuit very soon.

 

Qualcomm messages and logs can be subpoenaed as evidence and documentation in a claim against Werner. The advantage load planners and dispatchers have when the driver has tickets and/or DOT violations; is that they (the dispatchers or load planners) won't be held accountable or responsible for coercing the driver in unsafe conditions. If the driver has tickets; it doesn't matter that the driver was pressured or pushed beyond federal regulations by dispatchers or load planners. The driver is always going to be at fault, if the driver has tickets or DOT violations. Ultimately, it is the drivers decision. I do not have any DOT violations or tickets; however, similar to you, I refused to drive my vehicle when it was unsafe. I documented the changed ETA's for deliveries by completing the correct MACROS. In my Qualcomm documentation, the dispatcher or planner did not want to permit repairs, even though vehicle repairs did prove to be necessary. The dispatchers or load planners simply expected me to forego necessary vehicle repairs and tried to force me to drive in unsafe conditions to meet a preassigned ETA which was unrealistic. Furthermore, (and an area of extreme liability for Werner) is the fact I provided a medical leave of absence that was approved 2 weeks before the medical appt. occurred. An exact date for a leave of absence request cannot always be guaranteed because of freight movement; however, I would have driven directly passed my home terminal location and the dispatchers refused to acknowledge my medical authorized time-off.

I am not a lawyer. I am trying to be a truck driver.

I am not a lawyer; however, I do understand liability issues. I have managed employment law and other areas of law as a legal assistant (paralegal).

 

If the truth hurts you, it's because you are part of the problem. I am not libel for posting the truth about Werner.

Yes....the story ends there...because Werner wastes their drivers time and money......and attempts to place their driver's at extreme risks of liability.....
