    All of the above will happen on a daily basis & they will act like it's no big deal.If you want to work for a company that has no respect for it's driver..western is the place all the perks are for everybody else but the drivers..now a few months ago before i went to western i read these forums & said to myself they cant be that bad..after being there 9 months i can say they were all everyone said...you will have to argue for layover,breakdown,detention..etc..you will get paid miles for a load(350) but they will give you routing for over 400 miles happens all the time sooooooo much i can give info on not even funny im just glad they arent my problem anymore..you wanna be away from your family & get behind on your bills go right on to a western orientation and i ran decent miles on ne reg & otr so im no disgruntled driver im just smart enough to get outta there before my cdl,dac & csa gets screwed up working for them:biggrin_25525:

    You lasted 9 months? I lasted 3. Left for the same reasons. Happy now. I run more miles, legally, and am home every weekend! Western Express is a company to stay away from!

    Some drivers have no other choice; criminal record, long gap in driving, etc.
    What are these drivers supposed to do?
     
    Baslyn, 77smartin, Puppage and 2 others Thank this.

    think outside the box. It's both silly and incorrect to think that WE is the only company that will take you with a less than perfect record. Look, you're sitting at home not doing a dang thing, make a list, and get crackin'

    im a show and prove kind of guy..they proved to me in the 9 months that they are & were worst then everybody posted:biggrin_25510: ha ha yea im sitting at home because we dont work holidays for my new company:biggrin_25525: m-f ny to va...100% drop n hook 1200.00 pr week salary extra pay if i work saturdays..not complaining about that.it's always a plus when the owner of your last company calls you tell you he got rid of all old staff,has new accts,new staff and wants you back because you were a good driver:biggrin_255:
