Werner - role model for a bad company

Sorry to burst your bubble but I am very sure he is a driver. And I have to agree 110% with him. And... I do NOT work for Werner Enterprises.

 

Yup, that's really smart, believe everything you read on here, uh huh. Why don't you contact them, have a list of things you want to know and make your own decision about working for them or not working for them. Before you go, look at the website and do your homework. The fact that they are a most profitable company and have other money making aspects within the corporation says a lot for them. Yes, they are publicly owned and yes they are profitable. They are able to satisfy their stockholders and there are a whole lot of carriers out there now who would do the dance of joy to be able to say that.
Don't be afraid to ask about the most important thing... How much will I be paid, how does it work, do I get bonus', how do I get them. ASK ASK ASK. What about benefits, what about hometime, ask anything you want to know. If you feel that the answers arent what you want to hear or the recruiter isn't sure, ask to speak with someone else. It's your future... They won't be the least bit shy about finding out about you, you need to be the same way.
Yes, they do have a large driver turnover, ALL of the big companies do, it's not just Werner, ALL of them do.
Become job smart, ask questions... Good luck in your selection of a company.

 

A Company that wrecks lives? So why the hell are you still there? And i did not say anything about criminal activities, besides, they dont own me, No company "owns" a driver, only if you let them. I've never stated they do anything criminal, if they did, dont you think they would be shut down? For christ's sake, EVERY company has their faults, if you dont like them, quit. It's that simple.

 

Soooooooo noone asks questions anymore to recruiters? Hell when i was in school, i had the recruiter from Swift on the phone for a frigging hour asking about anything, same with Werner, i grilled them like i was in interrogating a suspect heh. Use your voice, that's why you have 'em.

 

I dont have a horse in this race but I have to ask you what "criminal" activities you are refering to?
Have you ever stopped to think that there are MANY long term drivers working for Werner and the other big companies who have paid their "dues" and make a good living with them?
If you and anyone else who is not happy with Werner or any other company you're with, why don't you leave? I'm sure you can find a driving job somewhere else with someone who will treat you better, not lie and provide you with the miles that you need to survive. But, before you quit, you'd better look around and I would be willing to bet that you'll see the grass isn't greener in fact, it's probably a lot worse.
Do you think that driver didn't pay his "dues" if you do think that you have another thought coming because everyone does.
Stay safe...

 

Anyone who has a beef about their miles should contact the President and/or their elected officials, don't ya think? LOL

 

think there was two good buddy callers on those posts lol

 

Great advice! Yes it is the entire industry, not just this carrier.
