Pros

See Werner trucks everywhere build lasting friendships with drivers

Cons

Low miles, low pay, lots of sitting, no detention (sitting) pay. I have 2 yrs experience and I quickly saw how they would take advantage of their truck drivers! Constantly watch your paycheck, loads, and miles, you will be jipped! They do not pay a set detention, drop and hook or layover pay! Unless you complain, then they'll throw you a couple bucks. They care more about the people in the office than the drivers who actually keep the company going. Try to avoid these big companies and make it your goal to fix your credit because working at these companies you'll never be able to save much. With good credit and /or money buy your own truck DO NOT LEASE and be your own boss! That is the only way you'll succeed in the trucking industry. Werner, Swift, etc...they're out to hurt your pockets and waste your time!

Pros

Great company overall. Good benefits and nice equipment. Loads are mostly drop and hook with 15 to 20% live load. I have never had to touch freight.

Cons

Not a lot negative. Waiting for loads can be a little frustrating but most Fleet Managers are on top of it and keep you rolling. There is a tendency to get stuck in an area of the country because there's no load to get you out of there, so you could spend some time doing short shag loads.

Pros

Room to change jobs within the company. Steady work. Decent benefits. Rarely any layoffs. You get use of a work issued cell so no cell bill.

Cons

Long hours, work lots of holidays. Werner only gives yearly salary increases on your salary and never an increase in your bonus. Managerial team is lazy, no support.
