    Well I called up Western and postponed my trip - I got trust issues - thats along way to go and things go sideways.
    I just don't think going over the road will be like it used to be - heck I'm not that old but I do remember when truck drivers had a bit of pride and selfrespect left. I almost hate to go to the fuel stops anymore and see drivers get out of the truck in their fuzzy PJ's

    Allot of folks had trust issues with western but were sweet talked by the nice people in the recruiting office that everything would be fine and come on in. What your not told is that you will be forced to compete or sit and wait for a seat on one of the three shuttles from the hotel, it usually took me at least an hour to get on to a bus with out being stampeded by other trainees or drivers. Also if you do end up at western be warned there are tons of seductive western employees that will get you terminated if you stare at them too long, I don't think any company I have ever been around in my life had women dressed as slutty as they did...

    yea most talk crap about western exp because they only know what they hear from some disgruntled driver...yes they will make sure you arrive at their terminal and if for some reason you feel it's not the company for you yes they will make sure you get back home via(bus ticket)..im just curious tristruck if you live in co why go all the way across country to tn when you could go to fontana ca terminal:biggrin_2554:

    Jerseyguy I'm not most drivers and I'm not talking crap I am telling the truth about this company it's by far the worst place to possibly work. If you don't believe what I'm saying why don't you ask my attorney or read the complaint he's filing with the company or talk to other former drivers that have been screwed over. If an entire group of former employees all say the same thing about a company you know theres got to be some truth to the all of the things being said....
