Pros

Newer trucks and trailers. Trailers are mostly in good condition unlike companies like Swift. Most drivers are great people and are always helpful. Some accounts have decent home time and decent pay. But that's regional.

Cons

They do not care about their drivers. Many reviews on here mention that and this is true. When you're out there, they won't even check on you, like "how are the things going?" - no, none of it. If OTR, pay is CPM only. No bonuses of any kind. Must be careful with the TMs. Not all of them are responsible. If you're not running make sure you get paid layover on time. My TM OTR had poor phone etiqutte and hung up on me while I was mid sentence. That happened MULTIPLE times. They expect good communication from you, but their communication is poor. A lot about this company screams they are penny pinchers and do everything for as cheap as they can. I don not believe the company lives by its values.

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.
