Pros

Werner Enterprises is a starter company for new drivers to get the experience they need to move to a different level. This is a very safety conscious company. They preach about safety everyday. If it's unsafe don't do it & there safety instructors will tell you that going through orientation. It is your name on your license not theirs. The pay is pretty good & that depends on what account you are running in. Werner has several accounts according to where you live. I am currently working on owning my own truck not through werner but some where else so I can have more control of what I make & where I go & how often I'm at home.

Cons

This is a forced dispatch company if you are a company emloyee. There are good fleet managers & there are bad ones. Good dispatchers & bad ones. Werner has a complaint procedure that must be followed if there are disagreements. If you don't ever speak up and say there's a problem then nothing will get resolved. Fleet managers & dispatchers have bosses & there bosses have bosses so if shout loud enough somebody will hear you. I have had to file a complaint on 2 occasions & got results.

Pros

Great Experience, ( Exp. May Vary) This is a great job for those who are first setting foot into trucking. The orientation process is, well a process to say the least. I went in looking to do team driving and I got lucky with my partner. If you dont really have anyone waiting for you at home then this job is good. They give you plenty of opportunities to switch accounts and some have ups and downs. Some benefits are okay, and some company sponsored discounts are great. Depending on the dispatcher they can be great or on your butt, Werner does reimburse for schooling which is great but its monthly. Also you do have to train with their trainers and some are either great like mine but ive heard contrary.

Cons

Pay is absolute not adequate. You get locked to 3k a week so your pay is about $900-$1100 depending on the mileage, very rarely did I get anything above and the times I did it was reimbursment for schooling. Saftey is on our butt as they have front facing cameras. These cameras are at a detriment more than for your saftey. Some trainers are garbage, my partner had a trainer who did the bare minimum and she paid the price for it, I have to teach her how to back every now and again.
