    Around here it is U.S. Express. When I was hauling fuel the new guy had similar stories to the ones I've read here. Out way too long, expected to run illegal, couldn't pay his bills.

    When the man tells me I would have had to train with a smoker if that was the next trainer in the gate it was final nail in the coffin.

    The short version? Western Express, does not pull, or do they gravitate. They just flat out suck. That's the short version. No disrespect intended, just the facts, Ma'am.

    Hey Dweedle,
    I'm hoping you can help me. I've been trying to get in touch with a Western Express recruiter. I have emailed David Cherry at dlcherry@westernexp.com and didn't get a response. So tried calling the 1-877-986-8855 and when the recording says it is transfereing me to the next recruiter it disconnects. Is there another number I can call? I'd like to get started on 05/27/13 I live in Maine. I'd like Penn. for Orientation. Is that where I'd be out of? I'm interested in driving van. I just obtained my CDL w/ X endorsement on 03/29/13. I've also seen conflicting information about starting pay can you tell me what it is?

    Well David is the head of recruitment and he has been very busy. They just switched phone carriers as well. What part of ME do you live in? You can also fill out an application @ www.westernexp.com. I will pm you some info.
