Pros

Werner Equipment is fantastic in my opinion. They do pay for some things that Swift, CR England and some other companies don’t. I operate on the TCU account and go to the very same places A LOT! Consistent miles here. I am lucky. I have Jennifer Mauseth as a Fleet Manager! Fantastic and I highly recommend if you do work here. That is it for the positives that actually matter.

Cons

Absolutely positively do not by any means accept a “Male Fleet Manager” at Werner Enterprises. They all have something to prove and could care less about you or anything regarding your existence. I mean literally if you want a horrendous experience speak to any male fleet manager at Werner. You will quit the job momentarily after! Very Very Bad Dispatchers. Call on a weekend and it’s literally like talking to a brick wall of answers like (Welp, gotta wait till your fleet manager comes back). Extremely useless staff. Being that a lot of these guys have been at the desk since the dinosaurs they are treated like royalty and the drivers are more like work mules.

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.
