    First off, thanks for all the info in this thread on WE. I'm a recent grad about to sign on with them (May 8th I start orientation) and have a few more questions, too. I'm going to be doing OTR Flatbed, I live in CO and my family will be moving to TN in July. How often would WE get me home after my wife moves to TN? I am in the process of adopting my step-daughter and we have a court hearing at the end of June which I must attend in person (not by phone). Will they actually get me back to CO for it and/or should I ask them to write it into my contract?
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I've read through comments about how they are not great at getting drivers home. Nor on time. Maybe if you let them know in advance.

    OTR driver. 5 months at western. No camera inside. There is collision mitigation that beeps at you only i believe when cruise is on but im in standstill traffic so cant test rn. It only applies brakes if cruise is on but foot isnt on the pedal. Hammer down and it wont hit them.
    I like it here so far, ive had a mostly good experience. Its my first job in the industry, and I appreciate the opportunity.
