Werner Enterprises Employer Reviews

performed pre/post trip inspections, ensured security of cargo, reported any issues, transported freight, and maintained driver log.

Lots of miles but poor mangement. Dosent care about your home time.

The typical day of work required me to drive a semi truck across the country delivering dry goods to various locations throughout the U.S. I learned how to navigate and plan my trips and deal with detours. The management communicated with me through a Qualcomm, a communications device that tracked my mileage. There were no coworkers involved. The hardest – more...  part of the job was being on the road was no having much free time and being stuck in the truck at a truck stop instead of in a bed. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing many different parts of the country as I drove through it. I would have liked to stay a see more of the sites after hours. – less

I had a wonderful dispatcher! I'm sure most drivers wouldn't believe that, but he did everything he could to get us where we wanted to be. Whether it was hometime, or just somewhere that we wanted to see. Of course there are bad aspects of the job, but they are generalized industry issues. You can't control shippers and receivers, or road conditions.
Our – more...  biggest issue was running the same area all the time, we were always on I-80 and it gets old and boring running from Kansas City to Salt Lake City all of the time. We signed up for the account, we knew that it would be a dedicated lane. It wasn't the company's fault! My team mate and I were just ready for a change. – less

Werner has one of the largest trucking fleets in the US. They have a multitude of runs from 48 states to dedicated runs.

TRAINOR TRIED TO MAKE ME URINATE IN A BUCKET REFUSED THREATENED TO THROW ME OUT OF THE TRUCK AROUND NOWHERE SO I WOULD BE STUCK.

First couple of weeks nice but when on the road, all went down hill. Must complete 300 hours of continuos driving, which is about 3 months without seeing family. Only $350 a week in training.

Im used to working long hours. Enjoy working with others, while learning new things. I also make people feel at ease when working with them. I can work in any climate, considering I lived in Alaska 3 yrs. and also toured in Cuba in hot climates.

Pick up and delivered in 48 States of freight.
The work was hardest because was out of house for 2 or 3 months.

I enjoyed working for this company as an over the road truck driver. The team and company is really goo, and they will work with you

Drove 11 hrs a day, every day. 48 states and Canada. I stayed out at least a month at a time. They wouldn't let me go home without a battle. I liked my dispatchers. The supervisors were terrible people..

Turn over is quite high. The training was not what was communicated.

I learned alot with this company. This company is very safety orientated.

I got to see the USA , and Canada . It was a good place to start and gave me the chance.

There are a lot of things to watch out for with some companies as far as promises of salary, hours, and the type of equipment that you will be using. I am still grateful for this company giving me a start in the truck driving field.

I was disqualified because one of the recruiters ignored the fact that I did not meet the qualifications to be hired and hired me anyway.

Worked as Log Coordinator assisting drivers with their electronic logs and reporting safety violations

This employer was my first professional driving job. I came in straight from school, so I was as green as grass. The first 2-3 months is training and you will run as a team, although you will be paid a set rate as a student. One week we ran 8,000+miles, but the trainer reaped the benefits and bonuses. Other than that, there were many down periods with – more...  no runs or short railyard runs. – less

I began working for Werner in 2007 and since then have gained more experince then I ever thought I would. They were very safety minded and cared about the driver more than the load.... I found working at Werner a true benifit to my success in the field. I have nothing but good things to say about the company. Pay, benifits, dmployees.... All good.

This was just a place for training and to get experience for other jobs.
