Werner Enterprises werner cares ha! Omaha Nebraska
WERNER ENTERPRISES NEEDS TO BE INVESTAGATED FOR NOT ONLY UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES BUT FOR FRAUD. JUST KEEP RUNNING NEW STUDENTS THRU TO COLLECT GOVERMENT MOINEY!
YES AS U CAN TELL IM X WERNER. I DROVE FOR THIS COMPANY FOR NEARLY FOUR YEARS, IN THE YRS I WORK FOR THEM I HAD A SAFE DRIVING RECORD UP TO 07-02-09 WHEN I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT ON I-85 HEADING TO ALABAMA. I WONT GO INTO THE HOLE STORIE BUT THERE WERE NO IJURIES, NO DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES AND, NO TICKETS WERE ISSUED
WITH OTHER DRIVERS THAT I HAVE TALKED WITH LATELY THAT HAVE ALSO BEEN FIRED FOR SIMILER INCIDENTS THAT IT SEEMS WE ARE BEING FIRED TO MAKE ROOM FOR NEW DRIVERS THAT GET PAID LESS FOR THERE MILES, SOME WHO CANT READ OR SPEAK PLAN ENGLISH! ISNT THAT A REQUIREMENT!
THIS COMPANY WILL SWEET TALK U INTO TRAINING WITH THEM THEN ONCE YOUR THERE U BEGIN TO HERE THE REAL STORIE ALL LIE"S. RECRUTING WILL TELL U JUST WHAT U WANT TO HEAR, YES THEY HAVE OPENINGS IN REG. DEDICATED, 48 STATE, FLAT BED, DRY VAN. REFER. THE TRUTH IS YOU WILL BE STUCK ON 48 STATES UNLESS U HAPPEN TO LIVE WHERE ITS CONVENIANT AND THEN U MIGHT GET LUCKY
THIS COMPANY TEACHES U HOW TO LIE ON LOGS, I MEAN WHEN U ARRIVE AT A SHIPPER ISNT THAT LINE 4 ON DUTY NOT DRIVING NOT LINE 1. ISNT IT FUNNY HOW WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THERE COMPUTOR SYS PUTS U ON LINE 4?
DISPATCH WILL TRY AND MAKE U DO RUNS THAT U KNOW U CANT MAKE, JUST TRYING TO FORCE U INTO VIOLATIONS. THEY KNOW HOW MUCH LEGAL TIME U HAVE TO DRIVE. SOME NEW DRIVERS DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY NO, I DONT HAVE LEAGAL TIME TO MAKE IT FORCING THEM INTO RUSHING THERE IN A UNSAFE MANNER JUST TO PICK UP A LD
WHEN I STARTED DRIVING I HEARD GOOD MONEY, GOOD HOME TIME, GOOD BENAFITS....BULL . AFTER WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY I DONT KNOW IF ILL RETURN TO DRIVING, THERE NOW SEEMS TO BE A TRUST ISSUE. GOOD LUCK TO ALL U DRIVERS AND REMMBER WERNER CARES YA THEY CARE THE LD GETS PICKED UP AND DEL ON TIME AND THATS ALL THE CARE ABOUT!

Smoke Here! Ever since I've found this site, I visit it on a daily basis. Yes, I'm the one in PA that is after Werner's a*s. I just had to respond to Larry's report.
I know, FOR A FACT, he's telling the truth. The same things he mentioned, happened to me. I would check my log from the Qualcom every day to do my daily paper log when I was training and found numerous differences. As he said, how could you be driving on line 4 when line 3 is the driving line? Anything that could be done by Werner WAS done by Werner.
A buddy of mine, who is still at Werner, called me the other day from Ohio. His dispatch told him to pick up a load and have it delivered that same day. No problem you say? Well, there was a time limit given to him because it was a HOT LOAD. Shawn had a problem with this load. You see, they (Werner) wanted him to drive this HL 280 miles in 2 1/2 hours. My buddy isn't real good with math, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that ISN'T going to happen. He argued with his dispatcher and the dispatch finally told him, after repeated math instruction, get it there ASAP. What a MORON. Shawn (my buddy) isn't long with Werner.
To comment on Larry's issue with accidents...AT WERNER... YOU ARE AT FAULT. No matter how much you argue and know you weren't at fault, SAFETY will have a reason to fire you. Just like he said, they'll put a new driver in that seat and have to pay less money. It happened to my first trainer... same d**n thing.
I was also told, while in orientation, you MUST be able to speak ENGLISH. I've sat in terminals and TRIED to converse with other Werner drivers and had NO CLUE what they were saying afterwards. How can you talk with the shipper or consignee if you can't speak English. To Werner, they are just another body to get into a seat and make money. Fraud? hummmmmmmm.
The recruiters are definately something. I have to admit, I was taken in myself. I was looking toward a future career that I really wanted to do and swallowed hook, line, sinker and the d**n boat also. This is the company you NEED to go with because WERNER CARES! All sounded so gradiose. Care hell, you're just another dumb a*s student to them. Just ask for HOME TIME once you get your own truck, if you get one.
Well, Larry, you are correct! Been there ---done that with this group. If I were you buddy, I'd contact the BBB of Nebraska and file a report and I'd also find out if your state has some sort of legal help you might get. If not, hire a lawyer, like I've done and fight their asses.
Keep this web site going all you WEINER x-drivers. Smoke in PA, sayin, see ya'll on the flip side and if you are behind a wheel, BE SAFE!
