Werner Enterprises reviews

1st Con: They promise .33 cpm, what they actually pay is a joke, .27 c.p.m. And don't expect a pay raise after the 90 day evaluation period!! There making MILLIONS off the sweat of the OTR driver's brow!! 2nd con: Avoid the terminals like the plaque!! God forbid you need or even want to take a shower after a loooong 14 hr day, I saw a previous comment about how there clean, where & which terminal?? Every terminal I've ever been at, there disgusting & filthy dirty!! But yet again I'm a woman on the road, so cleanliness matters to me!! Unlike the men!! 3rd con: Breakdown is a complete joke!! Sat for over 12 hrs because the trailer tandems wouldn't move, had to explain 4 times to my fleet manager about it!! Sent in the Macro 6 different times, wasn't until a woman called me at 10:30 at night & explained to me that I somehow "fell through the cracks", & I sent the 1st macro that morning!! She also explained to me that the freight was more important than the driver's, raised a HUGE red flag for me!! And I thanked her for her honesty!! 4th con: The night & weekend fleet manager's are completely useless!! I'm currently under a load that the BOL says that this load is going to California, where do they send me, to no man's land in the middle of Minnesota!! To a dry bean factory of ALL thing's!! Even called a fleet manager & asked him, he said yes. And God forbid you need an empty trailer, they'll send you to places where they don't release them!! And then send you to drop yard's in the middle of the hood, & expect you to wait for one!! I told them NO!! And went back to the same truck stop that I was at the night before to shut down!! All I've got to say about ALL that, is I got paid for all those miles, thank GOD!! 5TH Con: Fleet manager's have NO idea what we go through!! "0" Zip Nada!! They have no idea & it can be VERY, VERY frustrating!! Especially when you're running hard every day, & expect them to "have your back", just wish they would get some "insight" of what we go through out here!! 6th Con: Werner Cares is a joke!! The only thing they care about is themselves!! That's just a slogan they use to reel you in, & I think it's sad. We make sacrifices every day, away from home for month's on end just to "make ends meet", pay our bill's, & help out our families, I miss spending quality time with my family.... I'm going to get my 6 month's in & moving on!! Because a company this BIG needs some REAL help!! You know the old saying, "The bigger they are, the HARDER they fall"!! And I don't want to be a part of a company that is more concerned about there freight, than there driver's!! How do you think it get's there?? Anyway, hope this review helps ALOT of people looking to get with Werner, & if you don't believe me, become a driver for them & find out "the hard way", & my favorite saying, "pain is your GREATEST teacher"!! Good luck to all!!

Anyone that is at C level is REWARDED greatly by keeping costs down. They get stock benefit out the wazoo for keeping their departments cost low, they do that by not allowing for raises of their employees, bullying people out of positions, and making everyone work more and more while not changing pay for the increase workload and time. This is one of the most corrupt, backwards companies that I have ever had the disprivledge of working for as a member of IT. The whole design is to make the rich get richer and encourage toxic working environments, while having total control of HR so your only way of dealing with the problem is by leaving it completely. I have a meeting recorded with the CIO saying to just shut up and color. No one wants to hear you "complain" about how things are mismanaged, mislead, nor how the people are mistreated. If you value your time or yourself, steer WAY clear of this company.
