Werner Enterprises has agreed to pay an $18 million settlement to resolve a wage lawsuit.
No additional details were provided about the claims, the workers covered, or the terms of the agreement beyond the settlement amount.
Wage-and-hour cases matter to drivers because they often center on how pay is calculated and how time is counted. In trucking, disputes can involve issues like compensation for time spent waiting, on-duty work that isn’t driving, or how different pay methods are applied across a fleet.
With only the settlement amount available, it is not possible to describe what specific pay practices were challenged or whether the company admitted wrongdoing as part of the agreement.
