December 19. Werner Enterprises is full of stories, one of the best is the advertised owner operator pay used to entice new applicants, the $120,000.00 dollars per year for a O/OP. And $180,000.00 dollars per year for owner operator trainer, these figures are over and above the operating costs of the business.
The correct figures after all costs are calculated is within the parameters of a company driver; These wages somehow will magically appear after receiving a $300.00 per week, paid for the 60 hours of driving @ 275 hours total drive time; Roughly about $4.25 per hour at 40 hours per week, plus 20 hours per week overtime.
Go and Get behind the wheel as a company driver and be ready to make a whopping $9.00 per hour plus OT. CRAZY LIKE A FOX, MAY BE A FAT RAT! Figure it out, If you paid your drivers $4.25 per hour plus OT, you would be one of the largest Truck carriers in the Nation also; In return you could take all that lucre, booty, money, whatever you call it, and purchase up the state of Hawaii, thats exactly what Werner is did. Signed, go union or don't go.
