That would be true in @Frank Speak case-especially if they’re Kentuckian!TB John and Frank Speak Thank this.

I see Western Express is still trying to get drivers with little or no experience to be trainers.
I was barely 6-7 months in when they asked me to be a trainer! I told them no-I needed my space (especially in a Volvo), my sanity and most importantly-my life!!Last edited: Feb 19, 2025

I'm pretty sure I saw one with his nose pressed up against the window of a local KFC. He said he couldn't afford anything as fancy as KFC since he was a Western Express trainee but he "shore did miss dining at the Colonel's!"hope not dumb twucker, bryan21384, Frank Speak and 1 other person Thank this.

Even working there McDonald’s was an expensive proposition at times,unless you knew how to work the Dollar Menu (or had a bunch of gift cards)!

I still have a bunch for Whataburger and Jersey Mike’s cards that I’ve been aching to use!LMAOhope not dumb twucker, bryan21384, Frank Speak and 1 other person Thank this. -
With 6 months experience you would be better off joining a company like Marten which requires 6 months experience. The pay will be about the same as training with Western, yet a lot more enjoyment than living in a truck with a random stranger off the street.

Being a trainer for Swifty would be fun. Or Safety. That would be really fun. They give you an Adidas track suit and some some flip flops. At Prime I don't think you have to have shoes at all.
northstarfire0693 and hope not dumb twucker Thank this. -
Lmao 6 to 7 months in? Jesus Christ man. Talk throwing #### against a wall and hpojbg for it to stick! You ain't lying about the Volvo space. One of our drivers has a pit riding with him. That poor dog....lolhope not dumb twucker and mjd4277 Thank this.

Don't forget about using that app! You get nice deals on there! Plus, you can rack up points very quickly, even if you don't eat there much!hope not dumb twucker, mjd4277 and TB John Thank this.
