    That’s what I’m hearing I guess if the wait continues we may have to look into something else.

    They were stuck at a motel but finally was able to come home and wait here. Working during Xmas wouldn’t even be an issue for my loved one they just want to start working but there is always a problem it seems.

    I am sensing there is another side to this story, that I am not going to ask you to get into. But it is past time to start generating income if you lack savings to continue. Two weeks without work, pay and no explanation is unacceptable - unless your loved one created the problem. Move on...today!

    Unfortunately it was a series of bad events. I would get into it because it’s nothing my person did wrong on their part but I don’t want WE to see this and make this even harder. Thanks for your advice!
    Do you know of any other companies for new drivers?

    Where is your domicile; state & nearest city/town?
    Edit: why did he go to Western Express vs. any other company.

    2 weeks to wait for an available tractor??
    Things really have gone s*** at WE! When I was there it was about 2 days or so(Christmas week)before I got a tractor(went home on Greyhound for Christmas,came back 3 days later). Lately their MO has been using midroof trucks used for the flatbed division to pull dry van freight-a sure sign that there weren’t enough condo sleepers to go around.
    This in spite of the fact that they were splurging on new equipment a few years back(new trailers,new Internationals,Volvos and Cascadias)

    The best thing your loved one could do as a new driver is run away from western express and go work for Stevens Transport.
