A recent ruling by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals favored Werner Enterprises in a case involving compensation for driver trainees, which had been ongoing for over seven years. The lawsuit, initially filed in Pennsylvania in 2011, focused on the proper compensation of driver trainees for hours spent in a truck sleeper berth and break time under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Despite a jury's initial ruling in favor of the plaintiffs, subsequent appeals centered on the submission of evidence and procedural issues, resulting in the final judgment favoring Werner and its subsidiary.
