Western Express Anyone???

Yes, I have read all the bad things. I also read all the bad things about my first employer and I have no complaints. It's not in my nature and I don't care about much except making money. So....

Can anyone who IS or HAS done the western express lease option please tell me how it's been going? Also, if anyone is working there or has worked there in their flatbed position and how it is.

I understand someone somewhere got stranded for 3 days and had to go home because sister was sick and grandma couldn't take care of her and they were late getting you home and then your arm broke...I understand and feel bad but I'm not too interested in those situations. Just every day stuff. If you get miles and get paid on time.

Most of the horror stories on here and the people saying not to go work there are very rarely done by actual Western Express drivers or people don't really give any reasons.

I really want to get into flatbed and so if anyone has other suggestions, I'd take them as well.

Thanks!

 

On the contrary, I have seen other people start posts like mine and end up having people respond with what came across to me as pompous attitudes towards a certain company or program when said person never even worked for the company in question.

I'm short on time as I'm supposed to report to orientation next week so I merely wanted to cut through all the personal opinions and get straight to the people who have been in my shoes. This is only because I have spent a good deal of time looking for these answers already and this is what I've run across.

For instance, your statement of "Good luck with the Lease/Purchase at ANY company" would be a perfect example.

I apologize if my wording came out pompous.
