Werner Enterprises as a whole

I've been with Werner for little over a year now, and I really like it. Yea, it's got some ups and downs but other than that, it's just a day in the life of a truck driver. Dealing with fleet managers, sitting and waiting on hold to get in contact with someone to talk to about daily problems you might run into. Getting a permit to have a pet is very simple. You need recent shot records and basic info about your pet. There is no breed restriction which is perfect. If your best friend is a bull mastiff, you are allowed to have him/her on the truck with you. Benefits are great. Vision, dental, and prescription all included. There are so many opportunities within the company as far as dedicated and teams. I worked a FedEx dedicated during Christmas season and it was fantastic. If you're in the NE area, you will most likely be running out of Pittsburgh, pa running to NY. Fleet manager is awesome for that account. Very understanding and knows what we go through everyday. 90% of werners 'a fleet is now automatic unfortunately but if you prefer an auto, then it's perfect for you. The company now has mainly Kenworth and freightliners. I received one of the last standard peterbilts in the fleet. Every solo 48 state driver received a 5 cent raise after Jan 1 so now starting pay will be $0.35/mi. I very highly recommend this company to students just out of CDL school due to many changes within the company. If you have any questions, feel free to ask
