I drove for the family at Witte for 7 years. The only reason I stopped was because of medical issues. I started with the school. No company is going to be perfect, but the family at Witte is damn close.

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.

Laid-back environment, give you plenty of time for deliveries. Newer model truck, well maintained. Owner is always in the office, so matter what issue you may have it can be taken care of. Plenty of money to be made there, your pay is based off how you wanna run.

They asked you what you want and then do the complete opposite. Management comes and goes. They're constantly trading new people because they can't get people to stay. All of their departments are independent, none of them know what's going on with the other one. It's a family-run business, and there can be good things and bad things about that.

Great company for a beginner driver. After yr one and following there should be more benefits awarded to the driver. Company does have top tier equipment tractors and trailers. Need more driver benefits and better driver facilities when drivers come off the road considering how hard they expect there drivers to run

Would not recommend. They will work you to the point of exhaustion and keep you out as long as they possibly can without home time. Pay isn’t great, people will stab each other in the back all the time.

I started school with Witte in August of 2020. If you are right for truck driving, you will get your cdl. They put you in the best position possible to pass the tests and get your license. Small family oriented company that will work with you anytime you need so long as you are a good employee. If you do your job, respect your management and dispatch teams, they will take care of you. Pay is competitive and as a first year driver I have made an excellent amount.

One of the best trucking companies in America. Same class as American Central Transport. I have been fired from Witter for wrecking a truck but even in that situation they treated me well and professionally. I honestly reccomend them to ANY driver and look forward to working their again. First class folks running a first class organization.

I have been with Witte for about 5 months now starting with the school and training program. I was worried at 1st because of some of the reviews I seen on here but I have to say I have been very satisfied with starting my career here. Any time I have a question it has been answered and if you feel you have a problem with they way something happened you always get an answer to your problem. They did everything they said they would and I am very thankful for that. The pay is right on for a new driver. I am home most weekends and a lot of the time that I have been out past the weekend I was asked if I could help out and kick out early never forced to do anything you don’t want to do. The equipment is kept up to par but I have to say I would love to have been put in a newer truck but that comes in short time. Overall if you are looking for a company to start with that will work with you and make you feel like they care Witte is definitely a great place to work.
