Pros

Great average miles and pay (of course depends on your account). Full benefits Keep your rewards points for fueling Dispatch isn't always on your about your loads Choose which fuel locations you want to go to as long it is on the Werner network and on your route Maintenance is pretty average but Werner always takes care of their equipment with no questions asked unless it is a serious preventable incident. Decent CSA score, so less scales will pull you in. Werner has checks and balances. If you have an issue with your FM you can go over them to Driver Relations and they will help you.

Cons

Zip code to zip code miles. (Every major carrier will have their quirks but you will need to find one like werner with few issues) Werner removed their personal conveyance, but proper planning will help avoid need for it and dispatch will understand your time frames.

Pros

Great Experience, ( Exp. May Vary) This is a great job for those who are first setting foot into trucking. The orientation process is, well a process to say the least. I went in looking to do team driving and I got lucky with my partner. If you dont really have anyone waiting for you at home then this job is good. They give you plenty of opportunities to switch accounts and some have ups and downs. Some benefits are okay, and some company sponsored discounts are great. Depending on the dispatcher they can be great or on your butt, Werner does reimburse for schooling which is great but its monthly. Also you do have to train with their trainers and some are either great like mine but ive heard contrary.

Cons

Pay is absolute not adequate. You get locked to 3k a week so your pay is about $900-$1100 depending on the mileage, very rarely did I get anything above and the times I did it was reimbursment for schooling. Saftey is on our butt as they have front facing cameras. These cameras are at a detriment more than for your saftey. Some trainers are garbage, my partner had a trainer who did the bare minimum and she paid the price for it, I have to teach her how to back every now and again.
