Recovering truck for Werner

It changed, I don't REALLY care who the terminal people are so I don't know. My husband knows. But they fired alot of people over the year I was there... including the driver relation manager. And then the terminal manager quit citing some bs about not being able to do anything, the new guy came in made a bunch of changes and its a much nicer place now.

 

I'm really surprised they re-issue trucks with front end crash damage. That's not the message you want to send to the public "we run into things". I would think when it happens there would be a quick effort to repair the evidence.

People will assume the driver in the cab is the one who did it. If I were an O/O I wouldn't expect work parading that around to lessors.

 

Well for the record most of the motoring public is going to fast to nice something wrong with a Werner trucks bumper

 

sorry, didnt mean to offend, just wondered if it was the same guy who used to be the TM at spfld ohio.

 

I'm just surprised that they wouldn't do a proper repair job on it before issuing it to someone else. I guess they figure with a newbie it might get damaged again anyway.

And back to the original post: When I drove for USxpress I had to recover a truck and it was a complete mess on the inside, tires balding on the outside. It had been a "lease-purchase" truck and the driver couldn't make his payments, let alone get a new set of tires which I made them replace before I drove it back.

 

werner doesn't fix cosmetic damage any longer...

what account are you on farva?

 

What the crap!!!! I wish the POS they gave me for 11 weeks was in that good of condition. I see it has the Werner trademark cab extension as well, eh?
Strange the TM at "Unsprungfield" was mentioned. Luckily, I was only there for orientation, and when I turned their garbage in. He struck me as being quite a piece of work.

 

At least you got one with an apu. Good for you driver BE SAFE
