ok, swift or western express for new guy?

I'm starting with Western Express end of this month. In about 3 months I won't have a place to live so I intend to stay out and will just ask Western Express to give me my resets anywhere in the 11 western. Will just rent a hotel in the area and take a look around.

Really doesn't matter out of those three. Well Swift have the driver cams and are strict about certain things being in the truck. Werner team train for upwards of 2-3 months. Western Express train about 4-5 weeks. No cams. Pay is going to be about the same.

I'm no expert though. Just depends on what you want to do really.

 

Western has nicer trucks. New ones have tv installed from factory. Smaller company than those other two you mentioned.

 

That's a few of the reasons I chose them. Even though TV prob means sitting a lot.

 

TV doesn't mean sitting a lot. It's nice to have when on mandatory breaks or 34 hr. resets. Several companies are now ordering new trucks with tv factory installed. Probably get a good deal on tv's when they order 100's or 1000's at the same time.

 

Oh ok. Well that was sort of a joke someone had said. That's what I was thinking too.

 

I had Western Express on my list, but then only recently deleted it because of all the negativity I read. It gets really difficult sometimes to narrow down companies to go for.

If you remember to, please update with your experience there, Lightside.

 

That's like asking ...........would you prefer to be shot or hung?? Gonna check out either way......which one is less painful.

 

If you want to work for free you can choose either one of those companies but if you want to make money you shouldn't choose either one of them.

 

Have you drove for Western Express?

 

Hello Tim, Did Western and Swift tell you how much there training cost?
