    You were racist way before this experience. The experience just brought it to the surface.

    I know I'm not the only one hear who actually enjoyed his agonizing experience.

    The van ride from the bus terminal to the hood would have scared the bee gees out of me.

    Poor guy....I feel for him.
    Sounds like he was raised in a very sheltered world....

    I rode the dog from Chicago to Seattle back in the 90's before people could call 911 right away off a cell phone.

    I will never forget sitting in the back of the bus with a guy who just got out of federal prison for 15 years. He killed a guy in a fist fight. I would of never believed it but he had his folder with him from his lawyer and wasn't afraid to let me see and read it. I was 16 at the time. He explained to me what was waiting for me in prison if I decide to take his path in life. I never forget him.
    Big white dude (little did I know, at the time, what his eagle tats were for and his neck/hand tats)...Now I see them on locked up shows...
    A 5 day bus ride sitting next to this grown man in his 40's who just got out of prison for manslaughter was one hell of a ride.

    The characters on the bus are no joke. Not then not now. All the prisons ship convicts out on the dog. They give them cash and send them off. Drug cartels use the dog to run dope cause no searches or metal detectors. People with warrants and sketchy pasts all board the dog. I learned this from a guy my sister dated back in the day who was a transit cop that patrolled the dog station in my home town and he would tell me about some of people he would pick up and the hustles they would run on passengers. Very dangerous place if your not street smart or capable of handling your own....

    Get lost dude. I will now be spending two weeks in orientation/"training" thanks to them being unable to spell my last name right. I'm not making any money at all in orientation. I dont get paid for being here, I may be employed but my contract says that If I quite before 9 months of driving I owe them $2500 dollars for "training."

    LOL
    The second someone shows me a contract like that I swear I will say; "HOLD ON"....I ll witake it and will wipe my ars with it and had it back to them and ask if they want anything else signed!
    I swear to god those people with their "I own you like a slave" contracts can all die of az cancer and aids!
    I am my own person and if your company is to sorry to retain employees then its your problem....
    No one owns me...

    Why get lost? It's not a perfect world. Plenty of companies hire felons; not just Western Express.

    This is not nice of me to say, but I have a feeling that in a couple of weeks, maybe a couple of months we will see a thread about the OP either hitting a low bridge or putting it in the ditch.
