Job Description

Werner Enterprises is a premier transportation and logistics company, founded by a driver for drivers. Established as a leader in the trucking industry, Werner prioritizes the welfare, dignity, and respect of every truck driver. The company operates a diverse fleet offering innovative, driver-friendly equipment and advanced technology solutions to support its drivers on the road. Werner is dedicated to providing flexible career opportunities tailored to fit the lifestyles and financial needs of solo and team CDL-A drivers alike. With a strong focus on home time and route options, the company offers more than 250 home time and pay packages including dedicated, over-the-road (OTR), and regional routes.

Werner is currently hiring solo and team CDL-A drivers, offering competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package. Solo drivers often make more than $75,000 annually, while the top 25% earn over $85,000, with top performers making between $90,000 and $100,000 annually on dedicated routes. Team drivers earn between $55,000 and $85,000+, with Werner's Team Elite Division paying its drivers between $90,000 and $110,000 annually. The Team Elite program caters to highly experienced drivers who are out for three weeks and home for three days, with priority truck assignments and a requirement of at least nine months of team driving experience.

The role of a CDL-A driver at Werner goes beyond just driving; it encompasses being a representative of the company's commitment to excellence in transportation. Drivers benefit from job security, consistent and guaranteed weekly pay on select accounts, and respect from their employer. Werner's Career Track program is designed to ensure drivers can enhance their skills with hands-on experience and mentoring. They emphasize safety, employing advanced equipment such as collision mitigation technology, truck navigation systems, and comprehensive trailer tracking. The company also offers a Team Driver Matching Program that takes into account preferences such as gender and veteran status to provide a supportive and effective team environment.

Werner understands the lifestyle of its drivers by offering versatile time off arrangements, including daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and tri-weekly options. Drivers have access to more than just competitive salaries; they gain a financial future they can be proud of, along with a supportive community and excellent benefits. Benefits include a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, health, dental, vision insurance, company-paid sick leave, life insurance, disability coverage, HSA and health programs, and tuition reimbursement up to $15,000 for those who qualify. Werner also supports families and veterans through programs like the Elite Veteran Driver program, military skills test waivers, and an employee stock purchase plan.

Overall, a career with Werner Enterprises offers stability, growth, and a respectful working environment for CDL-A drivers. Whether one is a recent graduate or a seasoned professional, Werner’s recruiting team works diligently to find the best possible fit based on individual financial and home time needs. Drivers enjoy advanced technology and late-model equipment, 24-hour maintenance assistance, and user-friendly driver portals and apps to streamline their driving experience. This is an exceptional opportunity to join a reputable company deeply invested in its drivers’ long-term success and well-being.
