Low Pay, Sparce Home Time, unclear instructions, I talked to a guy who had been driving for 16 YEARS, with Werner and was making $1000 a Week!!! THAT'S Not much more than I was Getting!!! In 2024?!?!? They'll Relay loads that are already Well-scheduled for a Solo Run. Upon pickup the shipper asks "Where is the load going?" Answer: "Well I'm taking it to Denver (From Green Bay.) My messages say It's going to cross the border into Mexico From El Paso Texas?!?!?! on the 14th by 8am, WHY don't we just Take 35!?!?! IT doesn't show me the final, So I'm not sure where in Mexico it's going. Wait.. What?!?!? I have home time near El Paso on the 14th!!" Later they'll put drop an entire Load/Rout (Pickup To Delivery) on you that SHOULD be Relayed- Like a 2200 Mile load to deliver in 36 hours (3 back to back driving Shifts) Claiming "This is a High Value load, Progress load when possible Safely!". Just to make it clear that "Relay really is better for the industry." I Told a TM. Not my Assigned TM that We could not deliver on time, I'm a Trainer, My CoDriver is A STUDENT,.. We are Not TEAM Drivers.. She said "It's ok... we just need that load moving, just progress the load whenever safe and possible, We will look into having you swap (Relay)." I took that as I (and my student) were to just try and drive, set Me/Us up for failure, and blamed Me/Us for not "communicating," Yet, They Deleted messages, and wouldn't answer the phone, But then Appologized when they realized when they looked at My Metrics (As A Trainer), delivering the most loads getting 18 hours of driving in a day between me and my student/s, "I don't know how We even got this load on you!"
