    Went to LCCC myself graduated end of september. Tell Tim mirrors mirrors mirrors.

    As of Western in Nazzreth they are good people there, and as far as going out with a trainer if your not a smoker it might take a little longer to get one in. If you are one and want a good one ask for the ol man he was mine
    hes tough but he is a good trainer and he will run till the sun dont shine and run you some more.

    Just passed all the tests. Waiting for CDL Class A to be mailed.

    Dweedle, told Tim about what you wrote on this thread, "mirrors, mirrors, mirrors". Tim laughed and said "thats right, always, mirrors, mirrors, mirrors".

    I submitted an application to Western Express and I am supposed to contact Kittie as soon as I receive my CDL license in the mail. I am a smoker, so I will request the "ol man".

    I want to thank everyone in this thread for all the information. THANK YOU!!!!!

    well im not shore about fontana i would ask. the flatbeds run the lower 48. as far as trucks they have 4 different ones. there are volvo 670's,freightliner columbias(fazing out) cascadia's, and international prostars. they have a few older internationals on flatbed but they are being fazed out also.i am in a 2011 prostar.so far i like it.

    Hey dweedle, Im supposed to be going to orientation on the 27th. I was looking on some inside information on western, everyone on here are usually the mad people who just wanna complain. Have you found them to be a good company to work for? Just trying to make sure Im making an informed choice going with them. Any advice would be great.

    So far they are not that bad. milage pay is not great but the people are good people. Where are you going to orientation at? If it is Nazareth I like the people there. I was saposed to be ne regional but when I got my truck they told me they did not have one free st the time. I would drive from Baltimore it only takes about 2 to 3hrs to get there, I used to make the trip from Gaithersburg up there regularly before I moved that way. The bus will take you into NYC and another bus to the area. good luck maybe Ill see you there.

    Yeah Im going to Nazareth for orientation. I was thinking about driving up, greyhound doesnt make sense to me they always go past where your going to put you on another bus and bring you back.. Well I appreciate the information I'm hoping everything goes good come monday. I have previous tractor trailer experience so my recruiter said I was only looking at a week or so with a trainer, which shouldnt be to bad.
