Pros

I love driving for Werner. I team drive with my husband. We would drive a minimum of 5000 miles per week. Our fleet manager is awesome. Anytime we had to have maintenance on our truck, the shop would get it done pretty quickly. The key to getting a good amount of miles is your fleet manager. If you don't like your fleet manager, ask to be moved to someone else's board.

Cons

Werner will make reports on your DAC report for the most minor incidents. Example: another driver pops one your your trailer hinges and Werner will report it as a preventable accident, even if the other person is 100% responsible and their insurance paid for the damages. So ANY minor incidents, report it as something that happened at a rest area or truck stop "while you were sleeping or inside the facility". The mobile eye sucks!!!!! Numerous flaws with it.

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.
