    hello i was just looking about going to western express and doing flatbed
    i was just wondering can any one tell me how long orientation is ?

    what is the home time policy like ?

    can you request to be off in another state or town aslong you ask 7 days in advance ?

    what is the facility in alabama like ? how are the people there ?

    and do they go to canada or mexico ?


    thanks for any info you may have and stay safe

    orientation is one day. Call western they started to re advertise. I've spoken to them and was told to call back this week about their new hire student program for recent cdl grads. I'm calling on monday but will most likely wait for the local jobs to start hiring. Best of luck and keep us posted,

    There orientation is 2 days.Day one is drug test.day 2 is some classroom time on company policy. It is a real easy orientation,They did not even give us a road test. I drove in the van division which hauls in the northeast. You will go to NYC and the Island. If I were you I would find another company to drive for. I have worked for several trucking companies and this was by far the worst. If you decide to go there just remember,you were warned!!!!!

    If your worried about it please, for everyone's sake, do not drive a big truck.

    But, to answer your question...usually about 5 minutes. You don't normally get a heads up on a random. That's the whole point.
