    Don't work dollar tree account

    Apr 14, 2023 - Class A Truck Driver in Marietta, OK
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Pay is good but random. They train you okay and gave me a brand new truck. Dollar general was what I trained on and I enjoyed even though it was very difficult. The company isn't bad it's the dollar tree branch that is terrible. Insane turnover rate

    Cons

    The work is too much for the random pay you get. You don't know when you'll be home and you will wait for a load so you can go home. They don't pay you if the warehouse is slow for your load. High amount of labor and injuries on this job. Prepare for 14hr days and 70hr weeks if you want the pay they tell you. It's all dependant on if you get a good load of course. They can throw low miles on you and you make less money than normal truckers even with the insane labor. Swift and other companies pay more for the same position at the same distribution center. They throw newbies on this account and most quit, injure themselves, or hit something because of the backing.

    Great starting company

    May 17, 2023 - Professional Truck Driver CDLa in Lithia Springs, GA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great training Great pay people that will listen to you. Great variety of trucks to choose from. They have safety in mind when it comes to all employees and the training is great when on the road with your leader or trainer.

    Cons

    So far I haven't had any bad cons with the company overall. The only bad con that I would say is that if the truck breaks down when you're with your leader/trainer. Then? You could be training for a little bit of a longer period of time.

    Great Starter Company

    Mar 11, 2023 - Class A Cdl Truck Driver 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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.

    Not for the weak!

    May 10, 2023 - Driver Support in Atlanta, GA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Good people for the most part. The company driver's keep you looking forward to coming to work daily. Paid every two weeks with benefits. Potential to make a new associate if you're looking for friends.

    Cons

    Management really has there pick of the litter. African-American employees are easiest disposable especially dedicated men. Managers keep stifling employees gainfully employed and find every reason to rid of hard dedicated workers (Folks willing to die for Werner). Terminal management brushes off female employees concerns unless the ladies are attractive. It's not a safe place to work mentally or emotionally and the pay does not compensate for the micromanagement or inner office bullying. Managers will play mocking mind games with you as passive aggressive behavior, guilt tripping & brain washing tactics. Example: you can be praised for doing great work. If your good work exposes one of the favorite picks, or prevents an error being made by a slight mishap on the picks part, you will be told you can always do things better or go harder to resolve as to not make the favorite Pick look bad. Management favorites dictate who trains who and how extensive the training will be for new on boarding staff, not the manager in charge. No opportunity for promotion as an office staff, just "bilateral moves". Meaning, no pay increase or job title change. Just more added duties! Integrity is not a core value often centered and it starts with the management who are all afraid of corporate. Then again corporate most often times has no idea what the terminal management is up too. Damn near anything goes, Go figure!
