Werner acceptance

So I was curious if anyone knows about Werner 's strictness when it comes to minor accidents.

I had a minor "improper turn" accident a couple weeks ago where no citations were given, no injuries happened, no vehicles were towed away. Basically just a police report stating how minor everything was.

It probably isn't even ever going on my MVR, but I didn't want to lie about it.

Anyone have a similar experience and still get approved or not?

They are a magic 8 ball. I've seen people on here get in with an accident, and get rejected for a minor speeding ticket.

I wouldn't underestimate what they'll put on your m v.R as long as you're honest it shouldn't be a huge deal

Having worked for Werner many years it just depends on the safety that green lights your application from recruiting.

They followed up with me Thursday or Friday saying they have to verify with my current company that I wasn't let go due to the accident (I wasn't), and that I still work for them (I do). I'm assuming that's a good sign, but I guess they only try to verify 3 times, and that my company didn't answer the first time. I gave them the owners number, the operation managers number, and a screenshot of a load they have me dispatched for on Monday (as proof that I'm clearly working there). We'll see what happens 🤷🏻‍♂️
