Witte Brothers, Inc. - Troy, Mo.

I believe if you are unhappy at your company and cannot find a way to be satisfied, give them notice and leave. Apparently they have many drivers that like working there, so maybe it is not a good fit for you. The thing that is great about America is that you are not tied to one job. Move on and quit complaining.

 

Witte Sucks....I worked for themand got screwed by the dispatchers who think they are gods. ##### em. I would rather work for Rapid Response and be gone two weeks from home than to work for a company who claims you will be home every weekend...for what twelve hours?

 

What kind of miles are most drivers getting for the week? Have you seen a big decline in freight like most companies? How is the turn over with drivers? Are most drivers happy with the company overall (I know every company has there problems) Do they keep their promises?

 

Freight has slowed down at Witte, but probably no less than any other company. They seem to be an honest company that does not try to hide anything. Most drivers that have complaints and bad mouth the company are guys that cause their own problems and want to blame everyone else. Overall, a good company.

 

hello,newbe here looking for info on witte bros. any would help,I have been reading alot of these post here and have learned a great deal my thanks to all.
I realize i wont get rich in this business,heck I have been an auto detailer for 18 years I know rough times,and the home time,me dont need it if I can get home once in a bluemoon happy not married daughter is 21 so its me now thanks again for your help

 

Foghat - I assume you are asking about Witte's driver training program? The program is pretty good.......six weeks training at their terminal, then followed by six weeks training over the road with a trainer. You should be able to make pretty good money your first year, probably over $30k. It should not take too long to be making over $50k. They seem to be a pretty honest company with great equipment and benefits. They are getting all new Pete's this year, but even the equipment they trade is in great shape. Hope this helps and good luck.

 

Thanks,wisetrucker what I was wondering is do they hire stundents for other schools? going to school in indy called sage ,nice equ. they have .thanks once again

 

They only except schools that are PTDI certified, if the school you are going to is not you will have to go through their six week training (school) and then six weeks with a trainer OTR.
