    Glad you found a better company because 16 over(reckless)is a serious mark on your mvr.If you're a trainee howcome your avatar says you've been a trucker for 2 yrs?Just asking is all.

    Monday is when you got your fuel card. that was your hire date as well. the money will be on there next week. Did you talk to Ben or payroll ?
    Did you take out a cash advance. $600 or would you rather sign a contract and be stuck with a company and if you leave such place before the contract is up you can't drive because of it. I have seen this happen. be patient.

    so you didn't call payroll and or the recruiter, to find out why you didn't get a pay check?
    That's the first thing I would of done, before coming here.
    Also of times in all companies, it could just be a simple over sight by someone in the office. Over sites can and do happen.

    So you had to pay them $600.00 to train you ?

    I did call both payroll and then my recruiter, the lady in payroll had no record of me. The 600 for training and 130 for twic will come out in installments.

    Maybe YOU didn't consider it reckless, but 16 MPH over is considered reckless by the law.

    As a experienced driver I chose not to work for this out fit ...Take your time and learn every thing you can from your trainer . If they will let try you try to learn from several different ,everyone has different was to make the job flow !

    I would not work for Western Express either if I tried to park in an ABC store parking lot and drop my trailer tandems off in a ditch, and burst 2 tires and a brake chamber or do a U turn in a bobtail in oncoming traffic thats running 55 or 60. Just a couple of instances I ve witness in the past few days with Western Express
