Werner Enterprises Scam

There are so many people complaining about this company they put you through a training course make you work 7 days a week 70 to 75 hour a week and pay less then min wage and how they get away with it. There Scaming people chargeing them for the school and promises to hire them when there course is over they pass all there test. Then let them go in another state leaving them to pick up a bill in which to pay and leading them to believe they have a job to pay for the training they just charged them for with no job and no way to get home this should be against the law. I will buy a web page just to make sure no one else gets riped off from these people again. There are no photo's to prove what there doing you just have to go through there course and find out or have someone investagate to find out what this company is really up too there are people really needing jobs and there is this company out there taking these poor people's money and for what they need a job to pay for the course not a course to get deeper in debt and this company know's how to make money off of poor and desprate people

I have the werner attic steps model 2208 mk2, i was in the attic and as i was coming down the steps the lower left hinger broke causing me to fall, in turn my left leg and lower back is hurting now and my hands a sore from tring to stop the fall.

Werner Enterprises oreintation

on may 3, 2010 i attended oreintation for werner enterprises. i took an amtrak from modesto. during the physical i show the doctor 2 medicines that i had taken. he said i needed to go home and have my doctor clear me for driving. werner reimbursed me for my trip there. i told my instructor what the doctor had said. he told me to finish my classes which ended on may 4, 2010. i once again paid for my ticket home. my recruiter joe said to fax my tickets to him and he said i would get my money back. a few days later scott called me and said that he could not hire me. on may 18, 2010 i called scott and he said he would not cover my ticket and as for oreintation i would not get paid for it. i called the california labor board and told them what happened. the labor board said they are obligated to pay me for going to oreintation and the cost of my ticket for coming home. all of you that have gone to a class at werner that were sent home file complaints with your labor boards in your area.

A former driver for Werner Enterprises has retained my law firm (Law Offices of James M. Sitkin) and the Oakland, CA law firm of Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian & Ho to investigate whether Werner has paid drivers all lawful wages required by the California Labor Code. Our investigation is evaluating information about pay practices for work performed by Werner drivers in California during the last four years (whether the driver was a resident of California or not). As part of our investigation, we would like to talk with current and former Werner drivers about their work experiences at Werner in California. This is not an offer to represent you or other Werner drivers. However, our investigation of potential class action claims could benefit from any information Werner drivers may provide to us as part of this ongoing investigation. Please phone or email me if you would like to talk. I look forward to hearing from you.

Werner Enterprises Just a bad company

I got hired on as a driver and because I had previous experience I only had to do 70 driving hours with a trainer instead of the normal 300. My trainer was a really nice guy, he taught me how to back better than I already knew how, he taught me tips to reading a map I did not know about, and was an all around good guy. I got the 400 a week just like they said I would.

Then I got my own truck and was told I was on the south regional account. This would mean I would run TX, LA, AR, OK, NM and CO. The very first phone call I had with my dispatcher he told me I would be on the South regional pay account (the longer the trip the less per mile u would make) but due to lack of freight I would be running all 48. Running the whole country meant I would have mostly longer runs. I only made 24 cents a mile on 99 percent of my runs. I would run for 12 days and be home for 48 hours. 48 hours is technically two days but think about it, that means I get home at noon on Friday and leave at noon on Sunday at any other job that means I got Saturday off, but for werner and any other otr truck company that was two days. With that schedule after taxes I would make about 300 dollars a week and end up spending about 100 for food every week.

On my way from Dallas TX to Conway AR I got my tractor stuck in the mud, and my trailer was blocking the road for about 45 mins before I got towed out which took about 3 mins once he got there. Because my trailer blocked the road a police officer gave me a ticket that was called careless and prohibited driving. When I came back from my next home time I tried to get out of the terminal to pick up my first load and they told me I had to go back in and see saftey before I left. They then told me I was fired because of my ticket (I was told one ticket was not enough to get you fired by my trainer and by the person who lead orientation and by my recruiter) I asked why. They said because the ticket was called careless driving. I said so you think its like wreckless driving? They told me it was just like wreckless driving. I called the courthouse and put them on speakerphone this is how the conversation went. ME: Hi I got a ticket down there a couple weeks ago its called careless and prohibited driving is that anything like wreckless driving? COURT LADY: Oh no, wreckless driving is a misdamenor, careless and prohibited is just a traffic ticket, they usually give those if they see someone squeal there tires taking off from a red light or something like that. ME: thank you very much maam. (hang up) The saftey manager then tells me that it doesnt matter it still sounds too close to wreckless driving and Im still fired. All this before I was ever even convicted of the ticket. Being fired was the best thing that could ever happen to me. I got a local truck driving job and am making over twice as much money and Im home every day.

So in conclusion. Werner Sucks

Dear Jim,

Here is an edited copy of a letter written to LV-AIT/Werner truck driving school, today.

Both of you know my husband knows how-to safely drive trucks! He is/was an exemplary AIT student. He is a very alert 71 year old man with a lust for adventure that just won't quit! He does many things much better than most men who are 20+ years younger than he. And, two years ago, he retired from surgical practice after 40 years without one single malpractice complaint. and virtually no reported post-op infections.

My husband showed up at 6:00 am. to the Werner Terminal in San Bernardino as he was told to do on Thursday, February 4, 2016. He was scheduled to take a refresher course. After he waited patiently for 6 hours, he was fired at noon for no apparent reason by Werner Enterprises, Inc. according to a male office staffer at the terminal who, announced in front of 15+/- drivers sitting in the San Bernardino terminal lounge that corporate offices in Omaha, Nebraska fired him--- he was humiliated, handed a one (1) way bus ticket home with no pay but, to his remarkable credit he kept his cool.

I have reviewed all of our records to date including all of our American Institute of Trucking/AIT paperwork and Werner Enterprises, Inc. “Werner” paperwork, alike. In doing so, I have found a multiplicity of issues which are in direct conflict with my husband's Werner employment. I have solid evidence that Werner grossly under-paid him. Fortunately, Title 29 CFR (et. al. etc.) is not mentioned anywhere in any of the paperwork he did sign.

Unfortunately, there are going to be many convoluted and extremely unhappy issues regarding the terms of my husband's Werner employment-payroll for us to resolve. First, let me call to your attention the stack of documents I photo copied for you which my husband gave you when he came in for a voluntary refresher course this week. You told me on the phone you’ve never heard of these documents; so, In case you haven’t had time to review them, I strongly urge you to do-so as soon as possible.

Perhaps you might begin by reviewing the document (front and back) starting on front page, entitled in bold black lettering: STANDARDS OF APPRENTICESHIP DEVELOPED BY WERNER ENTERPRISES, INC. For The Occupation Of Truck Driver, Heavy O*NET/SOC CODE: 53-3032.00 RAPIDS CODE:0980HY APPROVED BY U.S. Department of Labor Office Of Apprenticeship, followed by the Seal of the Department of Labor, United States of America.

This document indicates, once again in bold black lettering: it was Registered as part of the National Apprenticeship Program in accordance With the basic Standards of Apprenticeship established by the Secretary of Labor.

Moreover, the Original Registration of this document, again in bold black lettering was dated April 13, 2006. It was apparently Revised at some undeclared time after April 13, 2006--it does not say when---but, it does state the National Registration Number of this document on April 13, 2006 was: NE00206002 So, it was apparently registered in the State Of Nebraska on April 13, 2006. Thereafter, following the Nebraska registration number (NE00206002) again, in bold black letters are three (3) words: Submitted by: Revised Date: and Approved by: And, finally each of these words are followed by blank lines devoid of two (2) signatures and devoid of one (1) Revised Date.

Now, if you will, feel free to flip through all Pages of this document, : Header Entitled: Standards of Apprenticeship, Pages i, ii, iii, iv: Table of Contents, Forward and Definitions and two (2) un-numbered photo copies: one (1) handwritten note and one (1) envelop in which I received all pages (allegedly) from North Carolina.

I suggest you develop a very clear and concise understanding of the context of this document and the possible ramifications of non-compliance in terms of how these may affect the accreditation of your school- AIT and Werner (3rd party non-affiliate/s?)

Because you didn’t give us any copy of this document, revised or otherwise, late last week was the 1st time we’ve ever seen it---let alone even heard of Title 29 CFR (et. al. etc.) Because you didn’t give us any copy of this document revised or otherwise, we didn’t sign it. Now that we’ve seen it for what it-is, we wouldn’t sign it under any circumstances. Thus, without my husband's signature, so far as we are concerned this document isn’t worth the paper it’s written on!

Sincerely,

Cc: Deborah Cremeens-Risinger, State Director

Werner Enterprises ALL LIES/ Inappropiate behavior

Before I was hired, I was told I would be driving in a few States. The first chance I got a run I went as far East as they could possibly get me. Plus, while in training the female staff would call the male employees by sweetie and other such names. I am no-ones sweetie but my wifes. It is hard enough on our families. Who do these woman think they are ? They are not here to take the place of our wifes.

Werner Enterprises Reachable Dispatchers

I started with Werner working a Regional route much to my suprise it is just a ploy to get you to sign on as a regional driver and they keep you driving out of your region. It's cheaper to send a regional driver out of his region since he will only receive .22 per mile, while the driver doing long haul sits in a truck stop for three or four days waiting on a load he can deliver for .40 cpm. I was told that I had to deliver out of my region, I refused and told the dispatch " I do not have to do a D%% thing." I then told him I'm a grown a$$ man and resigned. The payroll clerk also stated that Werner practices this method on regular bases and she does not know why. Dispatchers believe they are not reachable. Untouchables

Werner Enterprises - Terrible experience

I had taken a leave of absence from Werner for personal reasons and I found that I could not return to work. I informed my dispatcher of this and did not return to work. After a month or so, I started to fill out other applications for other trucking companies and wondered why I was not getting any response at all. I decided to send for a copy of my DAC...

Werner Enterprises Terrible experience

I worked for werner in 2006, This was the worst experience I ever had. My first trainer was a female, she would go to the bathroom in the truck in a garbage can then tie the bag up and put it on the floor. Sometimes she would have 4 or 5 bags of urine in the truck. I called and said I wanted off this truck but they said I had to wait till our load was delivered.

When I was told that I waited till she went to sleep then drove myself out of route and went to the terminal. Then I had a guy trainer and he never taught me how to do anything, He would go home every weekend and I would have to stay in a motel. I missed christmas and new years with my family. I was with a trainer for 2 months until I finally got done. After that I got my truck which was junk and my first load. They said to follow the directions they sent me. I did and it took me 5 hours to go 50 miles. I really think they were messing with me cause I was new. Well they did fire me cause I sent in to get payment for a lumper to unload my truck and they said I wasn't suppose to do that. They approved it and everything but said I was stealing there money and I knew what I was doing. I still don't understand what it was I did wrong but getting fired from this company was the best thing that happed to me. I now work for a good company and get payed good and have a nice truck with my name on it. I don't think anyone should work for this company. They would hire anyone even if they don't know how to drive these trucks. there just a really bad company. I could go on and on about things that happened to me with this company. Just stay away from them!

After graduating truck driving school, I found myself wanting to work for a company that would show its new driver the ropes of the road. I choose werner due to the fact that it was one of the only companies that would do that. When i get to colorado, go through the orientation class, I finally meet my trainer who was bad ### btw...After my 300 hours, i get dropped off in phoenix az, where i pick up my own truck and head out solo.
After a couple of months on the road, i announce to my dispatcher im having brake problems in which he routed me to the nearest repair center. They change the pads and send me on my way. get to the hi-way and im still having problems. So now im calling my dispatcher and he tells me to pull over and disconnect the ABS plug and continue. So now im pulled over to the side of the road as far as i can go, hazards on, triangles out, and im underneath the truck searching for this plug. I get out from under the trailer, walk about 9 steps, and BAM...a car slams into me from behind doing 70. The lady is alive and screaming, I'm motionless, and there is a great Samaritan helping me put out the flames on her vehicle. After everything was said and done, she gets taken by and ambulance, im still shaking and now i have to detach my rig so that they could take the trailer to the yard. Now that's done and now i still gotta drive to the nearest rest stop, pick up a load and head to Dallas. When i get to Dallas, im told that the supervisor wants to see me. I go to his office and to my surprise i get canned. The reason-I pulled over to the side of the road violating safety precautions set forth by Werner...

I feel that trucking companies can do pretty much what they want to do regarding drivers.
I resigned with Werner recently, and when I tried to hand in my resignation, I was told to mail it to a P.O. Box to their Corporate office in Nebraska.
While the resignation was going through the mail, I decided to ask one of my prospective employers to run a DAC on me, to make sure this company wouldn't say they terminated me. Guess what? They stated on the DAC report that they terminated me. Why?
I had a couple of minor incidents, which were NON-CHARGEABLE. No ticket, no police report, no problem, right? WRONG!
Now I am trying to get on with a few of the companies I am interested in, and I am BLOCKED. Was this what they wanted to do?
I would never have left had they paid me a descent cpm. I was making .26cpm, received a penny raise, after working with them for 9 months! I drove solo and never received the miles that would have made me a descent check, this being the reason I resigned.

Werner Enterprises Scamming

During hard times my fiance decided to go to a private truck driving school. Needing a job as quickly as possible and being brainwashed into thinking this was a great company, he signed on. Leaving one week after the birth of our second daughter. Having been told that the 275 hours of training was the most but that there drivers were the best trained in the business isnt going to be a lie after all. So after he starts driving as a team with his trainer he comes to find out that the trainer hadnt been logging out and that he was finshing his trainers hours for that day. So he was screwing him on hours. He tells his manager that he wants to be home by Thanksgiving, which was early on in the training, he shouldnt have done that. All of a sudden a week before hes supposed to be done his trainer comes up sick and has to stay in the hospital for 2 days. Wanting to be home for the holiday and seeing his kids a three year old and the other who is now over 2 monthes old, and being home for my dieing mothers benefit he decides to come home with only 10 hours left of training. While out doing the training he hears from other truckers not employed by them that the government pays them $10.000 per student. They try to keep you in training as long as they can and when it time to be done or you start throwing a fit they start trying to get you into a truck. Well some people are not being called back after waiting for a truck or sitting at terminals for months at a time. So at this point it is time for him to call his FM and tell them what day hell need a ticket so he can return. His FM tells him to call back there so many people working for them they have to schedule him to come back. Werner is just hiring people to make money and hiring tons of hardworking people who need jobs to support there family and screwing them over. We have yet to hear today when he goes back. This company needs to be exposed for all their wrongs!

Werner Enterprises Snitch on Werner

Werner enterprises prays on the innocent and unwary by using deceptive and unethical hiring practices that lure new drivers in with promises of .36 cents a mile and/or $1000.00 a week, brand new trucks etc. By the time the new driver figures out he has been lied to and will only make .24 cents a mile (An industry low) he is firmly caught in the Werner Web of Destruction and must stay at least a year to establish a work history. It is a universal red flag in the trucking industry if one quits the first job after truck school shortly after hiring on, even if they are running from the Werner Spider. In order to gather inside details on this scam, a 24 hour National Snitch On Werner Hotline has been instituted at [protected] or visit holyflyingmonkeys.com/#snitch_on_werner
for details. Together we CAN make a difference.

I guess I'm the exception to the hard luck stories here...I drove for Werner 9 1/2 years and racked up nearly 1 million miles before the tanking economy and health problems forced me to leave in 2009...I had several dispatchers during my tenure and had good relationships with them better than 90% of the time...I was never promised any exorbitant pay per mile or miles per week, I just drove solo and had a great time doing so...My starting pay was $0.22/mile and when I left it was $0.33/mile...I averaged 2500 miles per week...and got nice longevity and yearly mileage bonuses...So I think it is a question of expectations, communication (even when you screw up--and I know I did plenty of times), performance and attitude that determines how well a driver is going to do with ANY carrier, not what the driver recruiter says on the phone to get you behind the wheel of their trucks...

My husband went to work for Werner. He had to take a refresher course and go out with a trainer for 4 weeks. He got to go with his trainer about 2 weeks after his orientation was finished. Werner did not have any trainers available until then. He met his trainer, got to go with him in the company truck and get his trainer's wife out of jail for prostitution...

Werner Enterprises No recognition following termination

After driving for over 8 years. Training, 100 percent on time and safety, no accidents no tickets. My employment was terminated. Wrongly terminated in my opinion. And obviously in the opinion of others because I have companies fighting for me to drive for them. Werner has Informed me that I will not be receiving the backdated safety awards that I earned. Its not my fault they take a year to recognize driver achievements, but, apparently it will be my loss!

Thanks again Werner..., for caring!

Werner Enterprises Liars

I was a truck driver with Werner, 1yr ago I went to San Antonio TX, for a drop, I left the truck in a rest area because my time was up for the day, when I came back for the truck it was gone, Werner took the truck, without notifying me I call them they said they dint know anything about it, now I cant get a job with no other truck company, cause they have me like I stole the truck, when I was the one who called the state trooper and reported call Werner they lie to me.

Werner Enterprises Stayed out 8 weeks

First of all my training lasted 17 weeks and had 4 different trainers due to loa and disgruntled employees but cant say enough about my final trainer he was awsome! Anyway i was canned (blessing in disguise) for driving my truck home after 8 weeks out straihght without any reset of hours that means i had worked 56 days without a day off! And my fm had known about my home time since may 18 that i was going home. I had told my FM that i needed to be home on thurs AM so what happens? My know it all (einstein) FM tells me im not going home! These guys (FMs) get to go home every day to see their families and can care a less about the drivers! I have a 3 yr old boy who always asks his mom where his dad is! Get a clue all of you FMs we have a life too!

Would you please encourage your drivers to not park in the fuel island while they shower. Truck 83809 in Clarksville Arkansas must have missed that in his training. I don't discourage good hygiene but while you park blocking a fuel island up is not courteous

fiberglass flakes off imbedding splinters into skin. Every time I pick up ladder fiberglass splinters into skin. Ladder is unusable. Hinges get stuck. Fiberglass gets into all parts of your body the touch ladder.
