Western Express or Willis Shaw Express?

I am a recent grad trying to weigh all of my options before I make a decision. I cannot decide between Western Express or Willis Shaw. I want to have the option to pull flatbed or van loads, so Western sounds good. I do plan on going flatbed with them though. I know Willis Shaw hauls food products so it seems that I would get miles. I am not worried about home time, because I am not married nor do I have kids. I just want to go with a company in which I will do as little sitting as possible. I will welcome any experiences from drivers or former drivers with both companies

 

Lol, what is it that makes them so dumb? They must not be able to drive very well.

 

I went to school at Truck Driver Institute in Murfreesboro, you probably had the more comprehensive course. I say that because if I am not mistaken, it is longer than the 3 weeks mine was. Who are you going to work for?

 

I did qualify for WIA. I would have gone to TN Tech but those classes filled up by the time I had anticipated getting the grant. TDI is a pretty good school, it was very fast paced but informative. I had prehires from Covenant, Star (red one), and Western. Swift is willing to give me an orientation but it won't start til February. I don't think I can wait that long to start work lol. I may give Huff and Puff a call, though the jury is out on them. Ultimately I think I will end up choosing Western Express

 

I am headed to Nashville on Sunday for orientation.
