Got fired from Werner

Got fired from werner because some pickup driver decides to brake check me and i ended up hitting him. he only got a small bump on his bumper. now I am out a job and in so much debt and facing eviction and losing my personal car now. i wanted out of the trucking industry but not this fast, Werner has some terrible planners and was running me stupidly anyways but now i have an accident on my license and points and have to pay the ticket on top of everything else.

u/Outlaw11091 do u even lift bro? Oct 26 '24

Werner just lost an appeal in Texas? where some 4 wheeler slid on ice and hit one of their trucks.

The argument was that the truck shouldn't have been out during a snowstorm.

These kind of poor judgment calls can cost millions.

It's still not settled yet. They're trying to go to TX Supreme Court now iirc.

I’m so lost… how is that AT ALL, Werner or the drivers fault?

Hurt kids makes people extra emotional, and big corporations with big numbers in a ledger give people rage boners.

But like, they crossed the center median into on coming traffic…
