If you’re interested in earning extra cash quickly and helping grow Team Blue, here’s everything you need to know.

How the Referral Program Works

At Werner, we’re proud of our nearly 10,000 professional drivers—dedicated, skilled and passionate individuals who we also consider our best recruiters. That’s why we created the Experienced Driver Referral Program—to reward drivers like you for spreading the word about why Werner is a great place to work.

Whether you’re catching up with a friend in the industry, talking with another driver at a truck stop or chatting online, if they have verifiable driving experience, you can refer them in seconds using the Drive Werner Pro app:

  1. Open the app and select “Driver Referral.”
  2. Enter the referral’s name, phone number or email.
  3. Tap submit—and you’re done!

Once submitted, your referral’s information goes directly to our recruiting team, with your name attached. If we’re able to contact the driver, you’ll earn $50—no strings attached. If your referral is hired, you’ll receive:

  • $500 after they complete 30 days, and
  • An additional $500 after 90 days.

Since May 2014, we’ve paid out more than $2.8 million in referral bonuses to drivers. Don’t miss your chance to get a piece of that!
