Job Description
Werner Enterprises is a leading transportation and logistics company in the United States, renowned for its commitment to its drivers and innovative approach to freight solutions. With a rich history established by a driver for drivers, Werner has grown into one of the most respected names in the trucking industry, demonstrating care, dignity, and respect toward every member of its team. Werner offers a comprehensive range of services including regional, long haul, and dedicated contract operations, supported by a modern fleet and state-of-the-art technology. The company thrives on creating a supportive work environment, ensuring drivers are treated as individuals with unique needs and career goals rather than just numbers on a payroll. Werner's dedication extends beyond driving to include programs that support personal and professional growth, providing drivers with excellent benefits, opportunities for advancement, and avenues for continuous education and skill development.
The role of a CDL-A Team Driver at Werner Enterprises is designed for drivers who want to maximize their earning potential while operating with the support of a partner. Team drivers have the unique advantage of sharing driving responsibilities, allowing more efficient completion of routes and the opportunity to earn up to $110,000 per year, depending on their experience level and route commitments. Werner provides a structured advancement path categorized into three levels: Select, Premier, and Elite. Drivers with less experience start at the Select level, earning up to .60 CPM and a pay range between $55,000 and $85,000 per year. Premier drivers, with over three months of experience, can earn up to .75 CPM and a salary ranging from $60,000 to $90,000 annually. Elite drivers, with nine or more months of experience, can earn up to .83 CPM with compensation upwards of $92,000 to $110,000 annually.
Werner stands out by offering top-notch benefits and resources to its CDL-A Team Drivers. Drivers operate late-model equipment, with an average truck age just over 2.5 years, ensuring safety, comfort, and reliability on every trip. The company emphasizes a higher percentage of no-touch freight, reducing physical labor and enhancing driver safety. Load planning is prioritized, and monthly mileage bonuses provide additional income incentives. Werner also offers a team matching program that helps find the best driving partner based on preferences such as gender, veteran status, music and cooking preferences, time spent on the road, and other personal considerations. This personalized matching helps drivers build strong partnerships that promote job satisfaction and long-term retention.
Beyond the day-to-day driving role, Werner offers various career support programs and financial benefits that demonstrate their investment in driver success. Benefits include a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, health, dental, and vision insurance, company-paid sick leave, life insurance, disability coverage, and health savings accounts. Education benefits such as a $15,000 tuition reimbursement program and a Career Currency Program that allows drivers to earn graduate or college credit further enhance professional growth opportunities. Werner also recognizes the contributions of military veterans with programs like the Military Skills Test Waiver and Elite Veteran Driver initiatives. Additionally, the company provides paid tolls, fuel cards, an employee stock purchase plan, and a welcoming pet-friendly environment, making it a comprehensive and driver-centric employer.
To qualify for this exciting opportunity, candidates must be at least 21 years old and possess a valid Class A CDL. They should either be recent graduates of a truck driving school or have verifiable tractor-trailer driving experience, an acceptable driving record, and meet all required Department of Transportation (DOT) qualifications, including passing a DOT physical, drug screening, and company hair follicle testing. Werner ensures that all drivers can perform essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodations and values references from previous employers. The company promotes a culture of respect and inclusion that helps drivers grow their careers and income in a supportive environment.
For those aspiring to build a rewarding career in the trucking industry, Werner Enterprises offers the ideal platform with competitive earnings, advanced equipment, personalized support, and a comprehensive benefits package. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply today and speak with a recruiter to find the right fit and start their journey on the path to elite driving with Werner.
