Westside Transport

How long did he work for them? Doesn't seem like it was a very long term relationship.

 

My husband also worked for Westside for about six months. He incurred the same problems as your husband; although, the company did not tell him that he had to be under a load to return the truck.

 

My husband was not under a load when he quit. I was simply replying to granieapple who had stated " telling him he cant bring truck back unless under load will be charged 1.00 mile if does"

 

it's ok, i had to read the original post a few times before i understood it as well. we all make mistakes. that's the whole reason for the bad companies threads lmao

 

I worked for Westside Transport for about 9 months. Everything that her husband went thru is exactly what I went thru. My hometime was every 2 weeks, and it was impossible for me to get home any earlier than that. They couldn't even get me back to the terminal on time to turn in the truck. The miles are very inconsistent. At the time, they advertised if you run 2300 miles in a week, then you get paid $.40/mile. But the thing is it was very difficult to get 2300 miles in a week. Westside is a short-haul company. Average length of haul was between 250-500 miles.
On the positive side their trucks are pretty nice, they have alot of new Cascadias and Volvos. You are able to view your paycheck online before it hits the bank and they use TripPak scanners to scan in your Bills so you don't have to worry about getting them to the terminal on time. The shop is also pretty good, the longest I had to wait was about 5 hours for a PM.

 

I left Westside at the very end of orentatn.,when I asked my dispatcher about miles.I was told ALOT of 1,2,300 mi. runs.To that I said "so long bye bye"
