This is why Werner continues to have problems, despite putting so much effort into improvement

They do run decent equipment but Werner drivers are some the angriest people I’ve ever encountered.

 

Bottomline, your the driver if your not safe , no matter the reason the truck dosen't move, period. you can get a new job, no sweat.

 

Small company, o.k., except the health insurance tends to be a lot more expensive. As for the home every night...no thank you...I would be more stressed out than a cat with a 2 foot tail in a rocking chair manufacturing plant.

 

That's not always a solution nor is it the right solution for everyone.

 

There is a way.

Quit for cause, document name names, pros, cons and results of discussions etc. Including punishments exacted against you etc. Turn that into the State let them sort it. If it is indeed for cause you get unemployment. If not? you have a chance to rest up and go see another hire.

One of my very favorite ways to evaluate a company is to sit either in the truckstop and listen (Not talk) listen the specific drivers near the phone rooms. Or sit in their drivers room at a company. Then go up to listen in on dispatch.

You can get a feel of how the company is doing today by the amount of profanity (If any) backed by emotion if any. If it is in order, the dispatch hardly has anything to do but keep track of the dots and wait by the messages. Those are the ones you want to work for.

A total company clean out of people top to bottom to remove the focus on performance goals is a very difficult thing to do. You cannot do it. UNLESS... you put together say a billion dollars and did a hostile take over. =) Then you can start cleaning the outfit top to bottom.

 

They do, and they work for our IT department.

I generally try to be sympathetic to them. But I finally had enough after telling one guy exactly what needed to be done to fix the issue. And the ####### asked me if I had tried rebooting.

 

For the past 3 months

Above him lol

Not any more But yes, I was targeted. So I went to the top, with a long line of people behind me. Not just drivers.
Safety
Shop manager
Other drivers
And a terminal manager

That’s why it’s important to document everything. Pictures, audio, video, everything you can.

Yeah, I get you. And as I said earlier. I have a friend there, that will probably retire from there. He’s not the sharpest tack in the box, but he’s happy. I couldn’t talk him into leaving if I tried.
