Flatbeddin' with good ole' Western Express

I know I drove a blue one 4 Arctic Express it did do 72 & it had a CAT eng w/Super 10....Luckily this Blue I drive runs like a 99 Mack CH600 I used to drive same speed (68mph) same trans 10sp b4 da old Mack engine died & was replaced by a bigger crappier engine....Only da Blue I drive now is a Cummins...by Feb 2013 if they do retire them SMX I won't be working 4 them no more Guaranteed!!!!

 

i ALSO DO FLATBED FOR WESTERN EXPRESS, AND HAPPEN TO BE FEMALE. YES ITS GREAT IN THE BEGINNING. I'VE BEEN HERE OVER A YEAR, AND BELIEVE ME IT DOES CHANGE. LET ME KNOW HOW THAT HOMETIME SITUATION WORKS OUT AS WELL AS THE GREAT MILES (LOL) IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS. AS FOR THE TRAINING FOR FLATBED, YOU ARE ACCURATE ON THAT. IT'S GOOD THAT YOU WENT WITH A TRAINER FIRST, BUT DID THEY TEACH YOU ANYTHING. i HAD TO WATCH OTHER FLATBED DRIVERS AND ASK QUESTIONS SO THAT I COULD DO IT RIGHT. DON'T GET IT TWISTED, ITS OK HERE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU FIRST START THAT DISAPPEARAFTER ABOUT 3 MONTHS OR SO. REPOST LATER AFTER YOU'VE GOT A REAL FEEL OF THINGS.

 

i THINK YOU ARE A RECRUITER OR SOMETHING.

 

I agree. Fishing game now.

 

recruiter start this thread. I am sure.
she put and left .... what a fisher bit.

 

Is Western Express a good company to drive flatbeds for?

 

they are not a bad company to work for unless you get hurt on the job,then they really ####.

 

Let's go forward 6 yrs Wayne Weiss is now deceased, I'm now working there flatbed of course & I did'nt get hurt luckily but I miss Xmas & New Years (Thanksgiving I'm used to missing),,,Plus Hurricane Sandy messed up my neighborhood...You think they cared NO!!!! plus the pay was lousy..And Birmingham where I was dispatched was shady...now their closed down from what I hear....OH WELL!!! You gotta wonder why Heirforce1 left Western?
Something to think about....Nuff Said!!!

 

And oh yeah I was driving the last of the 06 Int'l that was new when Heirforce1 was working there...SMX owned truck at the time!!

 

Everybody complaints about the tarp pay, but the company I work for now doesn't even pay one. So everytime I drag out that enormous tarp to cover a small coil I get paid $0. The pay is also not that great try 1300 every two weeks. When you start you have to wait two weeks to get paid so you go a month w/o a paycheck.
