I went to western for there refresher course when they gave me my own truck the gave me a truck that wouldn't regen after it would go through the cycle my 3 engine lights would stay on and if you were driving the engine would shutoff on you unless you hit the override button every min or so I called the shop they say just keep running the cycle the filters clogged this went on for 3days down in Georgia with all the construction trying to watch traffic, shift,watch for the shut down light and hitting the switch it got to the point where I drove to a dealership and refused to drive it. Then when I first got there I was told I would only be there 7-10 days then ill be home so because they wanted me to get a sleep study my first month at home they gave me a 30 medical card. I kept telling my dispatcher I needed to get my medical card renewed and they waited to long now im home and they suspended me for 30 days. and it took 5 weeks to even get a chance to go home. so how can I get a sleep study done when you wait till after my medical card expires to get me home/to a doctor -
I find it humorous that 99% of the people griping about companies in these threads have one post. All the seasoned vets have learned to take the good with the bad

It isn't til after the fact, then they learn the hard truth about learning to take the good with the bad.
Then, reality set in........ -
I was with western express. I get back to the terminal I wanted to find out how much they were going to pay me to work there and one of the guy's there told me after mentioning to him about how much I was supposed to be getting paid. I said I was told by cherron davis that you guy's were going to pay me $1100 to $1200 a week and run 2400 miles a week as well because that's what the so called recruiter cherron davis told me that's what I would be making and driving that's why I went from california to tennessee to get the job. He told me there's know way that he was going to pay me that and that he was only going to pay me $.27 a mile and $15 for tarping which is ######## pay. I was only running about maybe 1900 miles a week. So they basically wanted to pay me under minim wage for 11 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week. Then the guy I talked to calls cherron davis to find out if she told me that and she denied the whole thing that she told me that. Then on top of that they under pay me for the training. Cherron davis the so called recruiter told me that I would be getting a certain amount for training and going through orientation and I didn't even get what she told me for the training or orientation. Also they wouldn't even pay me for some of the weeks I was there as well.

Are there any women that worked for Western Express that experienced sexual harassment by a trainer or other employee? I am curious to know how your situation turned out because I didn't get the reaction I expected when I said something.

Western Express offers all this stuff to get you to work there( 24in tv, dvd, direct tv in truck) so i wonder if anyone else said why would i need this stuff if im staying busy. And the local craigslist for western does state 2200-2400 miles a week and an industry leading lease purchase??????????????? JUST SAYing sound fishy to me
TruckMama678 Thanks this. -
When will these rookies learn?
.... These trucking companies will say and do anything to get your butt in their equipment
Without drivers they won't have a job ... They are not your friend and they hold their nose while they smile at you (the driver)
They have plenty of carrots to dangle in front of drivers that do not know betterttyson, Hittman 306 and TruckMama678 Thank this. -
