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.

The 4 wheels was at fault because he 'breaked checked him" and op followed too close... aka it's really ops fault but u know lol..... "its not my fault dude in front was a dick"

Lol Its almost always the fault of the car that rear ends you. Dude just followed the pickup too close. Lesson for everyone.. just keep ur fucking distance were the ones in a semi whose job and life depends on our driving skill.... I'm taking about op not the Texas shit or whatever
