Couple quick questions about Western Express

Well I'll be honest with you. You're looking at driving team, and that's a whole different ballgame, since I've been solo my whole career (apart from my training, which was the only time I've had another person in the truck). You've got some pretty good questions to start with. CPM is always important, as I'm not willing to settle for less than X amount per mile. You may also want to ask about how long you have to stay out for, before you can go home, and how many days off will you earn for every 5/6/7 days out on the road. Maybe ask about passenger or pet policy, if either of those would be something you might want to have on the truck with you, at some point, but again, if you're driving team, that would seem less likely. Ask about detention pay (occurs on live loads and unloads, in most cases when you arrive on time, and the customer takes more than 2 hours - usually, some companies might pay it after 1, some after 3 or 4). Find out what benefit insurance plans are available, and how much they will cost you per week...as most companies pay you every week, thus your benefit payments will be broken up into weekly payments, in case this may be new to you. Also, ask how soon your benefits will go into effect, if you sign up during orientation. You may want to ask if the company operates under a forced dispatch model, or a non-forced dispatch model, cooperative dispatch model, etc. Difference there is when its forced dispatch...as soon as the load preplan comes across the qualcomm (onboard computer), that's your load, do the best you can with it. If it's cooperative or unforced, that may mean you can look at the load preplan, and send them feedback, such as "I don't have the necessary hours to pick up or deliver on time", then that gives operations the option of figuring out whether or not to leave it on you and maybe try to come up with a solution, or remove the load, and find something more suitable to you needs. You should also ask plenty of equipment related questions, pertaining to the truck...what makes and models of trucks do they use, manual or automatic transmissions, what speed are the trucks governed at, do they allow you to use power inverters on the trucks to operate personal electronics, do the trucks come equipped with APU's (auxiliary power units...to alternatively power personal electronics, as well as provide heating and a/c, without keeping the truck idling and consuming fuel), can you idle the trucks while parked, if so what is the maximum amount of idling allowed?
And since you said you just got your cdl, you'll probably be going out with a trainer. So you're gonna want to ask how long will you be training for. Most companies are either X amount of weeks with trainer, or X amount of miles. Will the training be just one phase or two? Very few companies actually put you with two trainers, the second one often being called a finisher, or something of that nature. Will you be able to go home at all during training, or can you expect to be kept out on the road for the duration of the training. Also, find out if your benefits might be delayed until you obtain solo status. What will be your pay rate, once you do solo out and get assigned your own truck, versus what you'll be getting paid while you train. If you're a non-smoker, you'll probably want to see to it that they stick you with a non-smoking trainer, or if you're a smoker than vise-verse.
There's plenty more I probably could lump in here as well, but that's probably about MOST of the important stuff I can think of for now.
Good luck out there, and just remember even if your trainer is a total unbearabe ### (as the case very very often is), just do your best to keep on smiling, nodding, saying "yes sir...no sir", listen well, do whatever they tell you, safely within reason...don't let them pressure you into doing anything unsafe (if this happens, make sure you have your company's safety department/training coordinator on speed dial), ask questions or ask them to repeat the instructions clearly until you understand them whenever you need them to do so.
