Pros

When your equipment is running good, and you are assigned a dedicated route you can make a living......BUT.....

Cons

Astonishing lack of urgency to repair equipment. Strands drivers for days at a time essentially stealing their time ($20 per day breakdown will feed you and that's about it, it doesn't feed your family or pay any bills) Indirectly penalizes drivers for doing the right thing which increases the number of CSA violations Werner and their drivers incur and also increases the danger to the general motoring public.

Pros

This must be a joke!

Cons

Don't get injured on the job with this lousy company. They will make sure they don't pay your medical bills and deny your workers comp claim. They are under no obligation to send you a copy of your denial in writing. This is a Totalitatrian regime, very dictatorial! You seriously injure your back, and they ask you to wait until you get approval to see a doctor for medical care. Once you injure your back, they still expect you that day to deliver a load. That's an insult to injury!!!! What part of injury do these guys have trouble comprehending???? Perhaps Werner is waiting for you to die before they take any immediate action to process your workers comp claim and pay it. This company has a complete disregard to assume responsiblity and pay for their injured employee's medical treatment. Get a decent employer that knows how to take care of its employees when they are injured on the job. Otherwise, you will live in hell not having access to medical care because of a greedy company such as Werner refuses to take care of its employees when they are truly injured on the job. Thanks a lot Werner, you suck as an employer! Working for Werner is like signing a deal with the devil! Werner, I hope you find more idiots to take advantage of!

Pros

Very quick hiring process, hotel is paid for if your in orientation and waiting for a trainer, nice equipment

Cons

Hiring massive amounts of drivers without enough trainers, when your training your only getting paid $400 a week no matter what your trainer is making because you make on time deliveries, drive thousands of miles or save gas, wont always pair you with a trainer that is running the same route you signed up for, e.g. I was signed up for a western dedicated family dollar, i was put on a OTR which wasnt really OTR cause we drove straight from Arizona to the east coast and spent three weeks stuck there driving in the snow during christmas and new years, DISPATCHERS! they are horrible managers, when your about to make a delivery and you tell them three to four hours in advance that your ready for another load after delivery why would they not have a planned pickup ready and waiting, no just sit there and waste the rest of your hours. When they call you in for a new truck while training, be careful, they pulled my trainer aside and suspended him from training for some DOT trailer ticket that he had gotten months ago, then expected me to just go with it and waste more time in a hotel waiting for a new trainer after we just spent three days in the hotel two days before for mechanical repairs. No thanks I have better things to do with my time
