    Western Express is trying to charge me two thousand three hundred and sixty three dollars for truck repairs or trailer repairs. from a wreck it was not my fault and the other guys insurance should have covered it. Funny after I quit western sent that to me. Guess I'm gonna have to take them to court and when I do, I want to get people together that has been screwed by them. Let's shut the doors. Its best.

    You cannot believe what a Recruiter promises. Not ever. Read this Forum for a month or so, and this will become clear as day. Doesn't matter what company it is. The recruiter protects himself or herself, to get the commission on getting a body in the door for orientation. They will say anything to get you to come. You have nothing in writing. You will be laughed at if you try to pull "I was told I would be home every weekend." Let's grow up.

    Are any of you WE drivers. I know I won't see home for at least 30 days after week of orientation and load securement classes. I am mainly gonna do it for a year so I can come home and drive log truck. They prestin said I am guarunteed to be home every weekend being a regional driver. I understand that yall may have had bad experiences with them. But there ain't no company that could possibly be that bad. Me and my fiance have already talked about it and she wants me to do it so she can be a stay at home mom. I have already decided to go with them I jusy want to know what to expect from somebody who currently drives for them.

    Gonna be hard to find someone here that currently drives for them. They come and go pretty quick it seems...with the going not being pretty. They have a rep for a reason. No doubt drivers here want to see you succeed...unfortunately history shows otherwise. Best of luck.
