    I couldn't have said it better myself...... I'm here, just biting my tongue, and "doing my time"..... But I can assure you: from what I've seen so far- it's ALL true.... I just refuse to complain about it because I was already forewarned.

    Been with them a year. And work is work. No company is any better or worse than the other. As long as you work hard and keep ahead of the game no company is that bad.

    :banghead:........................:smt064 are you serious?....... companies like western will screw you without any :ky: as much as they can........ but hey: :salute: it's working for you and that's what counts, I can assure you though that if/when you ever go to even a remotely decent company, that you will look back at the above quote you made and laugh at it.

    Don't think so. I enjoy my job. Only thing I'll be laughing about is the paycheck I'll still be taking to the bank. The name on the side of my truck is completely irrelevant to me.

    been 5 months and still at western. not had a really horrible experience so far. not too many complaints with the company at the moment. but their trucks and the pay suck. but thats to be expected with most big companies. i have been treated fair, other than the low pay, and have a very good dm. he has helped me a lot and given me mostly good runs and a good amount of miles. he knows i hate nyc and hasnt sent me back there. he does send me to pa a lot but that aint bad. and he knows i like the south, georgia , florida, etc. and i get to go there quite often. so even though it has only been 5 months not 6 i still feel the same way as i did when i started. that could change at any time. so far so good. in bout 7 more months i will probably find a better job , but i will make the best of this while im here.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
