Hey all,
Just wanted everyone to know what kind of experience I personally had with Werner in 2006.
1. The Trainer I had was verbally abusive and always cussing at "his soon-to-be-ex-wife" on the cellular to the point of me having to get off the truck and catch a plane then rent a car to drive myself back home after contacting my DM which stated I would get reimbursed but ultimately never received a dime of it back.
2. Werner's recruiters and staff lied to me about the pay scale from the beginning. It was a lot less than they said it would be by more than half! Werner also did not pay for the extra miles after getting me lost or once in town on the surface streets.
3. I did not get reimbursed for the ties I had to buy to secure the load of beer I was hauling into Cape May, NJ nor did they reimburse me for the weigh fees ever.
4. When myself and my team member returned to the Fontana Terminal, we complained about the pay and non-paid miles in person, since complaining by Qualcomm or cellular did not work (this was after 6 months of driving for these people!) in turn they fired my team partner stating that he had something on his criminal record about 7-8 years ago.
We never did get the pay they promised and Werner I feel used an "excuse" just to get away with it! Sure, my partner had something on his record about 8 years ago, but shouldn't that have been regarded "before" we drove for them for 6 months?
Incidently, as we were leaving the terminal that day I over heard another couple of team members arguing about the same thing! The pay they were promised was not what they actually got. They were really angry.
I took a year off, but now have decided to try it again. I have learned it is truly wise to get it all written in a contract which I will do with this other company I have chosen.
Werner not a good choice for newbes
