At Werner Enterprises, we understand what it means for our Drivers to get home as often as they can, spend time doing other things besides filling out paperwork, acquiring assigned loads safely with optimal miles and communicating with their family members and dispatcher with ease.
Werner Enterprises has carefully implemented only those technologies we feel have a positive impact on our Drivers. We will continue to look for new technologies to enhance the Drivers' quality of life on the road.

Driver Orientation
At Werner Enterprises, industry-leading technology is a way of life. Orientation is a fast paced, informative, paid two-day training, consisting of an onsite instructor utilizing a computer-based course. You will be introduced to Company policy, federal regulations, a generous benefits program and the only Driver friendly, proprietary paperless log system approved by the Federal Highway Administration.
Paperless Logs Only at Werner Enterprises
On June 10, 1998, Werner Enterprises became the first truckload carrier to be authorized by the Federal Highway Administration to implement paperless log system. This new system replaces the traditional paper logbooks used by truckers to record their work hours and activities. Many entries are made automatically for drivers from the information transmitted from the trucks via satellite. Drivers no longer have to draw lines or manually calculate the work hours available in their eight-day work period. Without the hassle of completing paper logbooks, our Drivers can focus on driving.
Onboard Satellite Communications
All of our trucks are equipped with satellite communication capability from QualcommTM. This enables our drivers to communicate with their dispatcher and receive load information anywhere. In addition, Werner Enterprises is the only trucking company authorized to use satellite location information to eliminate the paper log book hassle and to automatically create paperless logs.
Voice Mail
Friends and family leave messages by calling a toll-free number. Drivers hear messages anytime by calling this toll-free number.
Home time, Miles & Safety
When it comes to assigning a load to a Driver, the Drivers' home-time needs, productivity and safety are Werner Enterprises' main concern. Werner Enterprises' computerized decision support system assists experienced load planners to ensure every load and every driver are an optimum match for the Driver and the customer. Werner Enterprises' systems and staff are designed and trained to work for the Driver, to increase miles and productivity and to position Drivers in areas to get Drivers home on time.
