Wenger Truck Lines Murray's Enterprises Poor DOT Safety Rating Davenport, Iowa

I think anyone who is only getting 150-200 miles a day should first look to themselves.  When I worked for Wenger, there were slow times at the beginning of the year and then slow times because I was running late alot.  They are going to give their best freight to the best drivers because they want to keep them.

Sometimes you have to work around what shippers do.  Wenger can't control everything a shipper does, like make you wait because they have machinery broken down.

Do your proper pre-trip and insist that a truck doesn't leave the shop without items being fixed.  Again, there is good and bad in shop employees and they are at times under pressure to get you going because there is freight waiting.

I made over $40k fifteen years ago and I knew a guy making $5k more than me and I was late or cut it too close way too often with my deliveries.  It's one of those things...you reap what you sow.  Don't expect a trucking company to bend over backwards for you when you won't do it for them.

I'm sure I had more waiting time than I wanted here and there, but I really liked working for them.  I've had them deadhead me home from Springfield, MO just so I could be home for a holiday.

What I see now in their website is that they are paying .15 cents a mile and the rest is based on your on-tme delivery...WOW, I think that means they want you to be on time.  So, I guess if you want that money, you will be on time huh?

I also see that they make you reimburse all the up front training if you leave early.  Those are all things that they should be telling you up front so if that's not somthing you want to deal with, then don't sign on with them.

I worked there for over 2 years and I can say, I've never felt like they ripped me off.
