Welcome to my world. I left Werner/DMI at the end of 2000. A couple of years ago, I was applying for trucking jobs, and learned that Werner had put on the USIS report that I had 22 accidents in the 3.5 years employed with them. This, of course was obviously false. In my case, it was so obvious that Werner had to admit to potential employers that I in fact had a good record with them, and that the accidents were in fact trailer damages I had found within the Fontana, CA terminal that I wanted documented before I would hook up to them, all 22 being within my last year working for them, and none of them even remotely my fault. Werner's cooperation this way would insure I did not file a law suit for libel. They also agreed to remove the information from my DAC/USIS report. Your case is less obvious, but easy to clear up. You were very smart to keep records and copies of reports, and now you know why. Make copies of everything, and write up a rebuttal and send it by registered, return receipt requested mail to USIS, and make sure it is included in the report. You must do this in writing, which as you know is also the only way to obtain a copy of your report from USIS. Werner will then be required to back up their claims or remove them from your report. Given you have official governmental documentation, I suspect the information will be removed and your record cleared. Good luck!

I AM NOT an employee of Werner nor do I know anyone who has ever worked for them, but this is interesting. Not more than an hour I just got off the phone with a Werner recruiter. I received a solicitation card for employment, the front which stated "Werner drivers receive 60% more time off than other drivers" and the other side a computerized note from Rachel Penke stating "that they would like to discuss what opportunities are available with Werner". I called and was transferred to Ms. Penke, who answered immediately. I said I received a card and would like to discuss career opportunities. She asked me for my social security number over the phone which I gave out to her. Then she commented, "we sent that card over a week ago and couldn't verify any tractor trailer experience". I then stated that I did have experience and could help her verify it if that was the problem. I told her what company I had worked for and she responded "What?" as if she had never heard of the company, then our call was disconnected. I tried three times to immediately call her back and each time received her answering machine. Funny, had no problem the first time directly reaching her. The fourth time I was put through to a manager who listened patiently then transferred me to another rep who never answered. I asked him why if we had been disconnected Rachel would not immediately call me back or make herself available. If this is how they treat POTENTIAL employees I would not want to work for this company. I would not hang up the phone on potential employees!! The message is clear: if they have no need for you they simply dispense with you quickly w/o an explanation. Rude, rude rude!!

Just wanted to let everyone know i got a copy of my dac report finally. I found out that werner enterprises, drivers management has put on my dac report that i have a total of 3 non preventable accidents. now i dont mind the non prevent, but in reality i only have 2 non preventable accidents. i also did an mvr and for the last 3 yrs i only have 1 moving violations and on my dac report it is saying 3. so either still my mvr is lieing or werner was trying to sink me from getting another job. So just a piece of advice if you want to become a company driver for a company werner is not the company you want. now that i have proof they falsified information i will be planning a possible law suit agaisnt them.
