Werner Enterprises False Info on DAC Report Omaha Nebraska

Last July I signed on with Werner.I spent three weeks with a trainer who did not tolerate the use of air conditioning and only showered once for the duration.I was only allowed to drive at night.

After requesting another trainer,I was put with a person who was the exact opposite but was an extreme racist.After being authorized to go home midway in training(as the policy option says),I was denied access to a terminal where I could do so.One of the options when you sign on is going home after logging a certain number of hours,then returning to finish.They do everything they can to prevent this from happening.I finally had to insist that they honor their agreement and they allowed me to get to a terminal.

Then I was left at the bus terminal forced to pay my own way.This is breach of contract.My phone calls to try to return were repeatedly mysteriously disconnected.
After another month I got a copy of my driving log and didn't hear from them again.When I tried to get another job,I coudn't even get a response from other companies.

I got a copy of my DAC report and it had an adverse incident statement on it that reads as follows:"Equipment was involved in an occurence or act that produced unintended injury,death,properrty damage of any type,or resulted in the equipment requiring a tow(other than mechanincal breakdown) while assigned to the driver regardless of fault."

This is pure fiction.I constantly got compliments from other truckers on my ability to handle the equipment while I was in the truck.

Thiskind of statement goes on every drivers history that decides they don't want to work for Werner Ent. any more.Other companies do not dare go against such a statement if Werner put it on there.

Hundreds of drivers like myself have had their careers ruined before they ever started by this kind of intimidation.

USIS,the company that holds these employment history reports(DAC),put these statements in your file without proof or verification.I have to conclude that there is an underhanded partnership there.Why else would they participate without proof of such incidents.

I didn't realize that blacklisting was legal anymore,but apparently they are very practiced at it.
