Delivering to the cold storage and arrived 1.5 hours late due to personal issues and my carrier rescheduled for the next morning. I really appreciate and thank the cold storage manager/supervisor for allowing me to get unloaded today instead of the next morning. More so, it enabled me to get this load in next week's payroll. I'm beyond thankful.

They arranged a job offer for me, told me that the trainer could pick me up in my town, and then I drove more than 100+ miles ONE WAY for unpaid orientation - to be told afterwards that he never said the trainer would pick me up. He then told me "your ride is not the trainer's responsibility" when I mentioned asking my trainer if I could carpool with him (since he lives in my town). I'm not seeing what's wrong with asking someone to carpool. Apparently this company thinks that you're supposed to want to drive 200+ miles - every week on your 1-2 days off because they will charge you per mile if you want to take a company truck home so that transportation is easier. They called me the morning after orientation to let me know I'm "not a good fit" for the company because I have problems I brought up. This is AFTER I told them I would rather stay out for 3 weeks and go home for 1 week so as to put less driving on my personal car. They don't want you driving for a company (like grubhub, pizza hut, etc) on your off time because it could affect your 34 hrs, but apparently having drivers drive 2+ hrs into/from work every week doesn't affect it.

0 stars. Helped get me off the streets, then I get the covid vaccine, and couldn't drive for 2 days because my body couldn't move very well, from the vaccine, and they said if I couldn't work, I couldn't stay in the truck. Locked me out, then got mad and called me when they realized I had a hidden second key, and told me I wasn't supposed to be in truck. Says they will treat you like family, but if you have an issue, you are no longer an asset, and only a liability, and are no longer their family. I tried to be responsible, because we go to multiple warehouses, and get the vaccine, but no, if I can't make them money, I'm homeless, and nobody to be cared about. Then, I found other work, and out my 2 weeks in, and they decide to let me go a week early. Said I was the problem. Sorry I'm not an autonomic robot, I guess. But I emailed them and informed them to send me info on my school debt amount, so I could pay it in payments. I didn't hear from them until the end of the year. Where they called me and asked me where to send my w2s. A month goes by and I have a debt collector calling me, because they sent my debt to a collection agency. Claimed they didn't have a way to get a hold of me. So, if you want a nice honeymoon phase, then see their real colors, experience the betrayal, then the straight evil and sick methods of trying to ruin your personal credit score as a way to get even, then join Witte Bros.

Great company for a new driver. Great equipment, awesome people who seem to care is the only reason I’m not giving them 1 or zero stars. Not sure what happened, but have not gotten a load in over a month that does not have serious issues. Also all of sudden they want you to deliver on your weekends off. No extra pay of course. All that would be forgivable but almost every issue has been avoidable if they were properly communicating with drivers shippers and customers. Just had a load that they just dispatched me on that was IMPOSSIBLE to pick up as I was not only out of hours, but the facility would be closed by the time I arrived. Even worse, even if I had had hours if I had unloaded at my appt time I wouldn’t have made it. And this is just an easy little pick up where they have preloaded trailers (supposedly). My dispatcher even called me and told me they would have a pre loaded trailer but no luck. If they can’t something this easy done, how are they going to get me planned on a multi stop or p/u that has several shippers and or receivers over many days and possibly different states? From what I’ve seen lately the whole company is having a meltdown!

I haven’t been here for too long, but so far everyone that I’ve come across has gone out of their way to try and help, and make me as successful as possible, from the safety team, to the dispatch, and to the incredible training staff. I have to thank God that he lead me to this company because it truly has been a blessing. But, If you’re wondering where you should start your driving career… this is who I’d choose.

They ask for your preferences but often do the exact opposite. Management is inconsistent, with frequent turnover. The company struggles to retain employees. Departments operate independently, leading to a lack of coordination. Being family-run brings both positives and negatives.

I began my schooling with Witte in August 2020. If trucking is the right fit for you, they’ll help you get your CDL. They provide all the necessary support for passing tests and obtaining a license. This small, family-oriented company works with employees as long as they perform well. If you do your job, respect management and dispatch, they’ll take care of you. Pay is competitive, and I earned a great income in my first year.

I’ve been with Witte for five months, starting with their school and training program. At first, I was concerned due to some negative reviews, but my experience has been great. Anytime I had a question, I received a prompt answer, and any concerns I had were addressed. The pay is fair for new drivers. Most weekends, I’m home, and when I’ve worked past a weekend, it was only because I was asked—not forced—to help out. Equipment is well-maintained, though I’d prefer a newer truck, which should come in time. Overall, Witte is a great company for new drivers looking for a supportive workplace.
