Werner Enterprises, Inc. - Omaha, Ne.

i am thinking of going with werner, i am about to graduate from driving school, there company recuriter has call me every week since i applied, after reading this i am not sure what to do.

 

What you should have done is asked the person administering the to 1, show you his certification to operate the machine in an official capacity, and 2, show you the calibration records of the machine. Both of those items are required before a "LEGAL" test can be given. If one or both aren't present, you cannot legally be held liable for the results.

Same thing goes with radar sensory devices certification and calibration records must be kept current and on file with the department that operates the equipment. (<<<< Ex-cop and Ex-prison guard>>>>)

 

Good for you. Why do they still bring people in to train when there are no trucks or jobs for the 2,000 students driving now? I won't talk about legal part but it will happen

 

Let me ask you this, Now that have all that experience. Was your trainer at least a nice person that made your learning a positive experience? or at least care about teaching you? or did your trainer scream at you everytime you asked him to repeat what he said. He talked like he had a sock in his mouth and would look away when he said something. Made it harder to hear. He said I had bad hearing. Did your trainer assault you? And of course its dark at a truck stop and you can't get in touch with anyone at Werner.That was my 4th trainer. I tried to be nice and I kept my cool. We got a motel Werner was nice enough to pay for when it was over 100". There were some Bekins guys celebrating something and gave him beer and whiskey. I don't drink and I don't care if people do but when he puked in our bathroom passed out I had to clean so I could use it the toilet. The first trainer basically ruined my faith in Werner and the desire to even do long haul. I was basically his passenger to constantly complain about Werner. Not for an hour but every day. Didn't let me drive much Broke too many laws to count Would put his high beams on if a car passed us like is this day and age people can get shot at. Honked the airhorn for no reason. Told me that he was taking codeine and that was the day I got off that truck. Just outside Las Vegas. I wasn't or couldn't be on the truck until we got to a Terminal. Of course it cost me $400 to get home with no reimbursement. I told my SDM and wrote what was going on and they don't care. I forgot he lowered his window to feel how warm it was so I did too to feel the air. He rolled up my window on my arm and blamed me. When I reorted this I thought they would at least UA him. I saw him 6 weeks later in Denver with a student. Unbelieveable. It was hard to return after that experience but I spent $4,500 for school and figured I would get someone at least nice. He was 22 yrs old. Left his wallet at a truck stop during a snow storm. Got across the pass about 1 1/2 hrs. He actually acused me of some how making him lose it or taking it. He had borrowed $200 from 2 days earlier. Against policy I found out.Next day the truck stop where we fueled called and had his wallet. So we dropped the trailer and drove all the way back. Got back to get the trailer and I was going to drive. Did a pre trip and guess what The outboard rear tire on the trailer was flat. He wanted me to drive it that way.!!! Compact snow no problem. I told him no way of course. He said but we have to get it to a shop to get the tire fixed. Hello? Heard of Les Shwab? They actually come to you and fix the tire. He didn't know that? So we were at a truck stop and this other trainer mentioned I should get off his truck. I didn't exactly know why at the time but I was told about the borrowing money thing which I got back right away. He was going to put me in a motel and go home for Christmas. I went back home with the other guy who told me that the guy was saying as this bs about me. The truck had to go to the shop in Seattle si I let him stay ay my home do laundry fed him and he talks bad about me. So I'll get back to the last guy another time. My SDM was told about it and they keep records. so everyone go to Werner enjoy but don't expect a job. they have 2,000 students on the road now. Doesn't matter what the economy's like. It's such a joke the there slogan is WE CARE. All these messages come over the QCom about being concern about the ozone layer or it's national earth day but guess what? Not using fuel is what they are concerned about 30 below or 105 above. Clarence and the Fam only care about themselves and the shareholders.

Probably a wise choice.

 

Goodmorning, i just know were you get those neet icons,and btw case you haven't guessed by now , these forums are the cb of the internet world, you can't belive and see in only half truths here, Everett

 

Now for those of you who think I'm harsh. I spent the last 5 years with them. No it was not a picnic. I now work a local job. They are not a great company and will step on you every chance they get. I don't defend them at all however this poster needs to take this as a big lesson. 4 trainers for a 300 hour training time something just doesn't add up. Sorry for the long post. Be careful out there.

 

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, Everett.
Would you expound on "half truths" please?

 

im solo and live in michigan and all i was told was i'd have to get a passport because theyll send me to canada to get me home.
