Pros

Benefits are good, coworkers amazing

No job security because they are moving office jobs to Mexico and Columbia because it’s cheap labor

Pros

They give you one meal per day of orientation and they provide transportation back and forth between the Motel and the Werner terminal. You do get to choose a different job that might fit you better after training. Simulation testing

Cons

They only give you one meal per day. They put you in the travelers in motel next to people either next to the motel or in the parking lots around the hotel with people on drugs and sometimes girls looking to sell their bodies. You don’t have an assignment until the end of training classes and orientation. They don’t tell you how much you’re going to make at orientation class they don’t assign the job you choose when you apply. You find out how much they are going to pay you after you receive your assigned job. They make you do the recruiting application process at least 2 times, 3 if you make a mistake. One when you fist apply and another when your in orientation.

OTR for Werner is a Joke

Pros

I did not find any Pros. And since I’m required a minimum of 20 words I will reiterate that I found nothing good about working for this corporate company.

Cons

During training you’ll get paid the same low rate whether your sitting on your butt in the hotel or driving 600+ miles a day. No APUs. Meaning you’ll blow your wallet and belt eating fast food and truck stop food for weeks on end. They “allow” a 150 watt inverter which isn’t much more then enough to charge a phone in your cab. The insurance coverage WON’T allow you to add a partner to your coverage if your not married. Recruiters are basically pushers and lie to you about everything, they only care about getting your butt into a truck. No Detention pay at all. Expect 2-6 hour average loading and unloading times without pay. They run you raw. Don’t expect ample time to deliver trucks and don’t expect taking a 34 hour reset after 7 days. You’ll be expected to drive weeks at a time on recap. Horrible company, horrible experience I will never drive for Werner again, and highly recommend you don’t either...
