A New Mexico jury awarded a family more than $40 million in a lawsuit involving a Werner Enterprises driver. The trucker had just graduated from Werner’s Roadmaster Drivers School, raising questions about driver training.
The jury found Werner, one of its drivers and the driver’s instructor all negligent in a fatal crash. The driver was on his eighth day of driving since graduating from Werner’s Roadmaster Drivers School when the crash occurred.
According to the complaint, investigations into other student drivers shows that it is not uncommon for instructors to be sleeping while students are driving. The lawsuit also claims that drivers can become trainers as early as three months after receiving their CDL.
