I had a brief run on Werner's Dollar General account for about 4 months. In that time I had three "incidents", a torn down cable (that I couldn't see, was illegally under 14 feet, and had no signage to indicate its presence), a torn off ferring (due to a bad repair job), and the trailer rubbed a sign on one run. I own last one as that was due to poor judgement but the other two are currently under dispute.
Unfortunately for me, even though two are under dispute, they aren't taken off a DAC report or a DriverIQ Report while the dispute is ongoing. Finding work is difficult because insurers see my MVR (which has two accidents, one I actually was involved with, and a second I was never involved with but still ended up on my MVR due to local PD ####ery, both prior to my holding a Class A CDL, over 1 year prior actually, and who's never had an accident in their personal vehicle in their life?).
So as far as insurers see, they see a guy with 2 accidents and 3 non-DOT reportable "preventable" "accidents/incidents". Most won't hire or pass me up because insurance costs are too high.
I had some bad luck running with Werner, and while I own my mistakes, I also see Werner is essentially trying to run me out of the industry and I'm just trying to do so legally and safely.

JUST BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR CDL. These guys might run you illegal which can jack you up even more. Then you'd REALLY be sol. -

My friend Johnny Tran drove for Izzy Trucking back in 2012/2013. (If this is the same Izzy Trucking based out of Chicago) He said they had brand new Volvo’s, white, if I remember correctly. I say go for it.
