Werner_ How they treat their Drivers

Paralegal, so then you know. But I recommend going there. It would be gas, and a motel room and whatever you decide to pay the attorney, on top of the cost of the ticket. Might be worth it if you can cut down the points.

 

Needless to say I read the threads about Werner and have posted many many times. Sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't. I pretty much look for fact. I do have one observation though. I read and read and read about how much so many hate Werner. Post after post. But, I never ever read one that says I hated Werner so much I quit. Does anyone call and resign, turn the truck in and go their own ways or do they just continue to be unhappy and complain on here?

 

I was so unhappy with Werner I quit. In fact, I quit with no other job lined up I hated them so much.

 

Don't relie on there being a "line" of lawyers at the court house! Go ahead and just Google lawyers in the town or use yellow book! Pick a few then call and decide! You won't even have to show up! The lawyer will do everything needed and even pay the fine and either bill or have you pre pay. But you need to get a move on!

 

You will without a doubt appreciate this, "No load is worth a life. We Care, Werner Cares." This QComm message is transmitted a gazillion times a day to drivers across this great nation. The dispatchers never get it or choose to ignore it. While I was in training, I used it as a tag line on the Qcomm on messages to my dispatcher. My real feelings are in this video.

I dont have time to watch the vid right now, but im just wondering why you have earphones in on the preview...?

I've had a few times where I was too tired to drive but had hours left. Never been yelled at for it. You just have to communicate it over the qualcom, and dont even think about calling them to tell them. As long as its on the qualcom, they legally have to deal with it....even if you're full of crap and just dont feel like driving.


Orion Mace, I feel like this was probably an easy fix. But I obviously wasn't there. Did you see if it was? I don't mind working on company equipment if i know what i'm doing and it saves me time. And atleast at werner, i'm welcome to do it and will be reimbursed for parts. Honestly sounds like a cracked fuel filter or filter dome from frozen water...and you should have a filter wrench, and probably live near a truckstop or shop. FYI, tow bills are around $250 for hookup, $50 to disconnect driveshaft, and $10 per loaded mile for a tractor/trailer, dont know about milage on tractor only..

 

You cant quit unless everyone does at once.

 

Generally with most bottom feeders they will try to get you to quit, even if you are told you are fired -on the DAC it will say you quit = try to get out of paying unemployment.

That is one of the core principles of bottom-feeder trucking companies -even above the safety mantra. =keep the fleet at the lowest cpm possible (26cpm Werner etc)
