    So I worked for Western Express for a little this month, Passed the flatbed school. Fast forward and skip over some of the BS I left the company rather quickly, now I'm trying to get my training pay from them and they won't pay it. They said I had to pull a load in order to get paid can they do that? Seems like a lot of bull its not like I failed and I'm trying to get the pay I passed and was given a truck!!!!

    Why did you leave so quickly? Did you sign anything?

    I left cause I was tired of getting the run around, I was assigned a truck than got told I had failed the road test and I got told road test again pass it or go home or trainer for 2 weeks than come back and road test again. I didn't even know I had failed the road test or why I failed. I wanted to just road test again so instead of just road testing again they sent me to backing class than asked me why I was there all day(after they sent me there). They also attempted for force dispatch me after I had placed the truck out of serve for a windshield and the headache rack was falling apart where the chains hung from (I sent the message over the qualcom after I had logged in under my username). Than I called my recruiter to let her know I was going home than all the sudden they wanted to give me a truck again without another road test or anything.

    Cause driving a truck with a sliver dollar sized crack in the windshield and a chain rack that was falling off the truck that I wasn't allowed to operate, Sounds like a good idea can I have some more of your advice please????

    once you are assigned your truck carry it to shop they fix or get in with co. on when it will be fixed. just walking off from job is a no pay deal.

    I find it confusing that you were offered a truck even though they said you failed the road test.

    I was assigned it than they took it back just as fast. Hell they didn't even tell me I was pulled from the truck they were ready to box all my stuff up.
