Western Distributing ?

Any info on Western Distributing out of Denver? Good/Bad?

 

You put this in a bad trucking company post.This actually belongs in a post asking for info regarding this company.

 

Dang it! Im sorry...Thanks Rad

 

No problem...Good luck out there.

 

They have some of the nicest "large cars" of any fleet today. They treat their people pretty well as far as being decent, and respectful.

They pay pretty crappy, but have definitely seen worse pay for large car companies. They will send you everywhere that you(or most drivers anyway)don't want to go...like Hunt's Point,The Boston Market, The water market in Chicago,etc.etc.

And from what I hear, they are actually somewhat hard to get on with. They are pretty selective as to whom they hire because they can be. They have applicants knocking down their door for a chance to drive a big purdy large car...

This probably wasn't anything more than you already knew...but since nobody else replied...

 

Eskimo, not meaning to be rude in any way, how would you know this, and what, if more could ya tell me about them. And would anybody else out there have any info on them. Just tryin ta do a little research here, and there doesn't seem to be much on the search I did. Been to their site, standard stuff, new pay scale looks a little better. Any of their drivers ever on this site, or are they just too cool?(that sounds a little rude, oh well)

 

what he posted is nothing anyone in the "know" doesn't know about them. They run large cars, bigtime largecars and they run hard. They are actually taking apps now, I spoke to them a few weeks back. they will never tell you they are "hiring" though, just taking apps. They do have allot of people wanting to work for them and if I lived in there freight lane I'd be working for them right now. There pay isn't really any lower then any other company doing long haul these days and getting 4k miles a week. there just isn't many companies that do long haul anymore. the companies paying higher per mile you are lucky to get 2k miles with these days

 

Well Bubba, I not at the point where I'm ready ta call em so let me pick you folks brains for the tasty tidbits you can offer. What are their freight lanes and anything else anyone could offer?

 

they run the major east west corridors. of which I live on one of but I live on I10 which is one they don't hardly ever run. Mainly the I40/ I80/I70

lots of central and southern CA/AZ and NM to chicago/ detroit/new york/ boston. your major produce markets basically.

give them a call. nice people over there

 

Thanks for the info Brother! Can ya tell I'm just kinda stickin my big toe in, checkin the waters again? Been wrapped in the construction industry up here fer a few years, kids are gone, Ma says she's ready ta rock, I like runnin hard, you know keepin my hair blowed back. Wrestlin in my head flatbed ,or reefer, flatbed, or reefer. Tarps, or docks. I seriously think I'm gonna go back to reefer with the economy lookin like it does. People gotta eat, but they don't have ta build stuff
