WEL Companies reviews

I loved working at WEL until I went on to a better opportunity. When I left there was a lot of vindictive behavior from Roberta. She did not want to pay me after I had given her two weeks notice. The last day I was there they acted very shady. I had to go to Bruce to get my pay. Chris the vice president told me I could come back whenever I wanted. Then the company that hired me told me that it was put on my job verification that I was not eligible for rehire. I wasn’t fired and I gave proper notice. I drove the truck from Pennsylvania and did runs taking it back to Wisconsin to avoid any fees. I had my daughter with me and I was supposed to work on that Friday locally. I was a dedicated driver for the Northeast. I was called early in the morning on Friday and told that I had to get out of the truck. I wasn’t supposed to leave for my flight until Saturday. My daughter and I quickly got ready and got all of our things out of the truck. Then my dispatcher called me to tell me that they didn’t have any work for me to do that day. So I asked if that would affect my dedicated pay. I was told yes. I spoke to Bruce and he had Roberta come in and talk to me. As soon as he left the room and I told Roberta what I had told Bruce, she began to yell at me. Jumped up and stormed out of the room. She also turned off the light while I was still sitting in there. Then they did not pay me the following week as promised after I spoke to Bruce. So I had to call payroll and they had to get Roberta to authorize it. The only reason why she did is because I recorded the conversation. I loved my dispatcher and I thought that Bruce and Chris were good men. I thought Roberta in operations was nice but I was wrong. Earlier in the spring I had a incident where my shoulder was hurt and I had to deal with Gloria in safety. I was told by numerous drivers in the company never to have dealings with her. But if I was ever hurt not to tell her. She always would say that we are family and to tell her if anything happened. I told her what happened and at first she was fake nice. Then later she yelled at me because I was told by numerous drivers in the company never to have dealings with her. But if I was ever hurt not to tell her. She always would say that we are family and to tell her if anything happened. I told her what happened and at first she was fake nice. Then later she Screamed at me over the phone and her reason was because she was having a bad day due to another driver. When that happened I began looking for another job. I came across a great opportunity working for FedEx custom critical. I don’t regret my decision one day. I work for an excellent company who genuinely cares. The people at Wells seem nice at first, but they are all very two-faced. There are a few good ones. The front desk, the people that work in Allentown, the guys in the Allentown shop, my dispatch Laurel And that’s about it. Good luck to anyone who decides works there. Hopefully your experience will be much better than mine. Home time... they always messed it up when I wanted to go home. Penalized me by cutting my week short and sending me home early. That took away my dedicated pay. Truck... it was always breaking down. They kept brushing me off about airline leaks, antifreeze leaks etc until u squid it was a safety concern. Pay... its good... but if u refuse a load due to lack of hours ur dedicated pay us taken. Your safety bonus is taken. Good luck!!

The company has great recruiting and so forth but their medical is a scam. There is absolutely no reason why a legitimate company would go through many times the medical requirements of the DOT! A person with a two-year medical card from the doctor should not have to go through the humiliation of standing around naked in front of a nurse that is rough and doesn’t seem to know what she’s talking about. I also hook people up with CPAP‘s and so on and it seems to me in many cases they’re more interested in making money from the clinic which could be a couple thousand dollars a month to provide and monitor CPAP machines. The insurance pays for it but ... and we all pay for it and it’s wasted

Wel Co was the best company to me if I had a problem they were there from logs to saftey is and d etc just had to leave for personal reasons and miles SHERRY WALKER is the best dispatcher I have ever worked with hands down miss Gloria was great Chris care the tielens are very family oriented if you have to rate company over all a 10 plus

Overall a great company to work for. They genuinely care about the drivers and are constantly looking for ways to improve.

Good miles if you are wanting to stay out long periods of time or be home every two weeks. Dispatchers are for the most part really good at keeping you going. Never had any problems with anyone at any terminal or home office. I've averaged 2500-3000 mi per week consistently. You do get some LTL but have only ever unloaded once and that was 12 boxes. LTL pay is reasonable. Newer trucks are absolutely gutless no power at all, but not as bad as the big carriers. Cameras in most trucks if that bothers you. Speed set to 65 cruise 62 floor. Reefer and the occasional dry load.
