Western Flyer Express reviews

They are starting experienced drivers out at .34 a mile. I have 13 years and they told me .34 a mile. That's no money and that's all I needed to know about them.

I am currently employed with western flyer xpress and I HATE it! Worst L/P EVER!! I've been here almost a month and I was told by my recruiter that my first check would be between $800 and $900! In reality, it was $311.00!!! My second check I was told would be about $1500! My check was $3400 but all I got of it was $595.00!! The company took the rest! They force you to buy a bumper guard for $1,500 ($100.00 a week til paid for). They route you and tell where to fuel! I signed a contact for a 2014 Freightliner Cadcadia (junk) but was actually assigned a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia! Supposed to be governed at 70mph, try 64mph on peddle AND cruise!! Truck won't pull hills for ##### and tranny slips when downshifting to 8th and 7th going up hill! My APU has stopped blowing hot or cold air!! I told my dispatcher I need to be routed to the terminal to have my truck fixed but he said "Deliver the load to Auburn, Washington and then we'll route you to Ok City!" Are you serious!?! I told him, I can't afford to idle my truck for warmth, because the fuel money comes out of MY pocket!! So he offers to put $150.00 on my EFS card so I can stay in a motel room on my 10 hour breaks!! Hi never agreed to this but he put the money on my card then sends me a message on my Qualcomm regarding the "Cash Advance"!?!? What's the difference if I idle and lose money or they take my money for #### advances for motel rooms!?!? Also with the lease, you can have a dog up to 30lbs for a NON REFUNDABLE $500.00!! $1000 if you want a cat!!! Basically you're a company driver who is paying for their junk equipment!! Also it's forced dispatch!! If I'm leasing the truck I should be able to refuse loads!! They charge you for everything!!! Your best bet is to just stay away!!!!!

Wait till you quit and they put BS on your DAC report. They put on my DAC report that they had a lot of complaint about me. That was BS. They never once called me into the office about any complaints.

Glad somebody got on here and told the truth about thier

Lease scam.its sad. 

Used to be a great OTR job when they had just company drivers there.

I left about 6 months after they started leasing trucks.

They ran most of the company drivers off.

Truth is they don't want company drivers anymore,

I was in the shop office when they were adding up how

Much money they could make of the .10 cpm maintence

Fund that they charge lease drivers on new trucks that already have a full warranty. 

3000 miles a week,that's 300 bucks per truck for nothing 

More than tires and cosmetics,and they do all the work in

Thier shop. Multiply that by a 100 trucks that's 30,000 per week and I'm sure they've got more lease drivers than that now. 

It's a gold mine for them. 

Not to mention leased drivers:

Pay all thier income taxes themselves:

Pay all tolls out of thier pocket:

No pre pass or ez pass:

Breakdown you pay for the motel room.

They will not keep you on that run, they offer these loads to get you in the door. They are finding it harder to get drivers to work for them, the word is getting out how they lie and rob drivers. They also use a off site recruiting service to get more drivers and they lie to get there money for each driver they get to work there. If you go you will find out.
