    Help 2 Prime Pack and/or Western Flyer Express

    I currently work for one of the “largest” transportation companies in the country, but I can not pay the bills sitting at the house three to four days a week. Needless to say I am actively looking for a different job. There are two that I am currently considering and would really appreciate some input on either company so that I am able to make an informed decision. The two companies that I am considering are “Prime Pack” and Western Flyer Express”. I have not come across any “reviews” for Prime Pack, but have for Western Flyer Express. I understand that there are those out there that are never happy with a company and can never be satisfied, but any and all opinions are welcomed so that I may sift through them with an open mind. Thanks for taking the time to view this and for any input that anyone has to offer.

    Well i have been here close to 6 months and all i can tell you is if you don't like to run 3000 miles a week or more don't come here, and plan on running out of hours every week, they have the miles and they will run you, if you hate sitting come here..but come with an open mind there are no perfect companies...
