Carriers

Advance Pay


Set-up
  • Carrier must sign Pay Advance Addendum and complete the Funds Transfer Authorization Form.
    • Once we have the Funds Transfer doc you will receive an email explaining the ACH validation process and we will initiate a $.01 deposit to your selected bank account.
    • Carrier needs to reply to the original ACH verification email and advise us that the $.01 was received to ensure we have the correct account and that the Electronic Funds Transfer is working.

Collecting Pay Advance
  • Tour (load) acceptance and tracking must be done using EDI or e-mail.
  • Once the load is actually picked up, a carrier needs to make loaded confirmation call immediately by EDI, e-mail, or phone.
    • After we receive the loaded confirmation, an email is sent to our accounting department to process the 30% prepay to your account.
    • If we receive the loaded call by 4:00 PM Central time, we will process payment that day and it will be in your account within 24-48 hours depending on the processing time of your bank.
    • Any loaded updates received after 4:00 PM Central time will be processed the next business day and will deposit 24-48 hours after that.

Final Payment
  • After delivery, carrier should invoice Werner for the full amount of the load including any additional charges that have been approved by the broker such as Lumper fees.
    • Include all required documents – BOL, Tour Confirmation sheet (please also list the tour number on your invoice), POD, Lumper receipts, etc.
  • When we receive your invoice and proper documentation, we will process a $20 administration fee for the Advance Pay, deduct the 30% advance amount and pay the final balance. If you have chosen to use the Quick Pay process for your final payment, a 2% deduction will also be taken from the balance due before payment is sent.
  • All payments will be sent via Electronic Funds Transfer directly into your selected bank account and will deposit within 24-48 hours depending on your banks processing time.


All tours (loads) that a Carrier moves for Werner will be paid in the chosen method. If you decide you no longer want to use the Advance Pay process, please call 800-228-2240 and ask for our Carrier Qualifications Department.
