looking for advice on taking job with western express

It's definitely 28cpm.

 

Just my advice but I would go somewhere else! This company is a nightmare, they'll have you in the poor house in no time! They're planning is horrible! I wish I would have done a little more research before starting here. Now I'm regretting it! I'm broke about to lose my pick up and behind on my child support. I'm just giving you good advice. Don't work here. Look elsewhere!!! Good luck..

 

How can you be behind? I never sat more than 2 hours waiting for a load assignment. I was over the 2600mi per week average usually closer to 2800. And that was at .26cpm! I left last December due to family illness, and they are calling me every month to come back. Offered me 7500 bucks (100per week, nope gimme 1500 up front and 200per) and .34cpm. I would love to go back, but the issue of getting back when needed is a sore point.

They did lie to me about not having loads headded back to Nashville that day. There were 4 at Nazareth. Go figure.

 

Western express is advertising in raleigh area for company drivers. Up to 0.75 cpm. Seen that and thinking some major bs going on there. If someone was paying company drivers that with steady freight people would be lining up. Here link.

Yea that would be nice, Its probably on loads going less than 50 miles or some bs like that!

 

truck driving is almost like being in the military. training then wait for an assignment. you do get more home time then the military and the pay is better lol

 

Those Raleigh jobs are Van Division. You will be stuck on the east coast, lotsa NYC EWR PHL.

 

Western Express is now advertising AVERAGE pay for flatbedders is .42 per mile averaging $1100 to $1200 per week.
