| Message | I am going to stop working for Werner in 2 weeks. I have been there off and on for 6 months. I have never worked anywhere in my life that sucks as deeply as Werner. They are uncaring, insensitive asswipes who destroy your spirit and despise you before you get there. DIE before you decide to work there! |

| Message | sadly, what is written here is true. i am living it now. when my anniversary date arrives i am out of werner. my pay has declined steadily, i have been misled regarding opportunities within werner, miles are unpredictable at best. so many empty promises i can't count them. i am a trainer. my record is spotless and i am considered good at what i do. and the reward for doing a good job for werner is.... not there. you just get more of the same. the goal now is to be patient for the short time remaining and just get out with no damage to my reputation and/or DAC. |

| Message |  You are right about Werner, they do suck! I paid for my own school and went through Werner Driving with a trainer. We ran our ##### off and made them all kinds of money. When I tested out and got their certification they informed me they did not have a position for me for me. They told me I live in a bad zip code. I did not move during their training so they knew this before they hired me. They sent me home on a Greyhound and told me to call once a week to see if anything came available. Of course I called 3 to 4 times a week. After 15 days they told me I would be listed as terminated on the 30th day if nothing avail. That is a ploy to keep you from drawing unemployment. They lost I got it. In the meantime I can not get a job as I do not have enough exp. and now has been past 60 days since I drove and that has hurt me. They make a killing off of you while you r with a trainer. They have a good thing going to get money from Government(our tax dollars). Keep up the good postings. |

| Message | It's true werner is not the best company a new driver can start out with! And they wont even think about giving an experienced driver a job! And me myself was a a trainer for werner and yes they do lie about pretty much everything and ask the students to do an unholy amount of extra training hours and i have been FED UP LOTS of times as well as my students i have had the best of the best student you could ever ask for and and i have also had the worst.The lies told to them by the SDM (STUDENT DRIVER MANAGER) at times make a trainers job very hard. BUT and don't take this the wrong way cuz god knows im not upholding them werner really does SUCK but you have to start somewhere! NOT alot of choices out there for a new driver i keep in touch with most all of my old students and what i have found if you be patient 9 times out of 10 they will offer a student some kind of dedicated or maybe even local after 6 months if they want it!! And the truck driving schools are to blame for a lot of new drivers being jaded because they gas you up and make you believe your gonna get rich or at the least wealthy and as long as they make you think that its its a lot easier to get you to pay $4,000 TO $6,000 TO get your CDL just to realize you don't like the job for whatever reason and the companies get a lot of grief over it but its the same with all large carriers not just werner lets face it corprate america lies to everyone! This website is funny and im a big fan of it so keepm it rollin good luck to all !
Thanks James. Everyone has to start somewhere. Werner straight lied to me about the rate of pay and just about everything else. That's my only beef with them. Oh, and the small part about the psychotic obnoxious know it all fat trainer that never brushed his teeth and crapped his pants while he slept. A MILLION MILER he was! Oh and the way all managers and company officials treat you like a piece of dog crap. Oh, and the inbred retarded mechanics that honk company truck horns over and over at 4:30 in the morning while you are trying to get fresh at the terminal in Phoenix because they are too lazy to get out in the cold and open the shop door themselves. (I "fixed" the shop heater for them as a pay back. Hope they froze their asses off. Remember that you retards?) Oh, and the way you can't run with the CB on because of constant harassment from the other truckers. "Just like a Fu#(&^ Werner driver holding up the whole highway." "Hey WEENER get the fu*( out of the way" etc... BUT having said that, as long as you know in advance that you will be treated by everyone you meet (Shippers, receivers, managers, truck stop employees, other companies drivers) like a low life scumbag then if you can last 2 years at min wage or less driving 10-11 hrs a day then go for it. It probably is one step above Swift. |

| Message | Oh boy, I wish I had taken the time to look for websites like this before I jumped in with Werner. Stupidly suckered in by the visual of a good life and good pay for honest work, with "safety" for me, I trained for Werner. Where I will be completely honest and my trainer was a great guy. He taught me everything I would need to survive on my own truck. Passed me with flying colors. And I trained straight through without my leave when I was called from home to be told my grandmother was dying after 2months, Im sitting out there in Georgia 30 miles from Atlanta. I was told I could not get off the truck! They were not "Authorizing it". It took me telling them they were "kidnapping" me and then I demanded my time off to get me to the terminal and off of my truck. Longer story short, despite the fact that I was done with training. And I still have all my paperwork saying so from my trainer. They didn't want and never let me "test out". I never went back, because they tried to lie to me about it. When I went to "test out" they told me "No you can't you're going on another truck with another trainer" I said " like hell I am. See ya" Haven't been able to get hired by another truck company since. 48 states. 2months out on the rd. With no complaints. Thanks Werner!! I loved truck driving, Never have had a speeding ticket. My trainer asked his dispatcher if she had room for a Extra driver. Only to be screwed! Do not work for Werner Enterprises. 
Editor note: I am truly sorry about your experience. Unfortunately at Werner this kind of employee mistreatment is the rule rather than the exception. You may be forced to consider going back to get your 2 years in in order to save your career. |

| Message | I was a trainer and an owner op for werner ent.I have to agree whole heartedly that werner sucks,this whole we care campaign they have is nothing but bull.I purchased a truck from fleet sales it was a lemon from the start,where was the support"we care"lol,it was non existant.I really felt bad for my students,they would complete their 300 required hours,just to find out they had to do another 100 plus in training without any increase in pay.They even tried to force me to have the student stay in my truck when i was on hometime,as motels are no longer authorized for home stays of less than 48 hours"we care"  .I would strongly advise against anybody starting their career with werner,they will jade you toward an industry that can be very rewarding over time.In closing I would like to say WERNER SUCKS!!!!!! And as for Greg the best part of you was left on the sheets _|_. |
