Western Express

Oh and what I do know about the guarantee at KB, from recruiters mouth is they ONLY pay the guarantee when you are on the road the entire week. So you essentially are looking at at least 3 weeks on the road if you even want one week of their "guarantee". Because they don't pay it the week you go to, or come out of the house.

 

I'm just gonna leave this right here for you.

 

At least the pole didn't fall into the sleeper on the left...

 

In defense of a Western Express, I run into their drivers at least a couple times a week at my regular shipper in Fort Worth. Most are actually pretty happy, but if they are being honest about gross pay its lower than expected(Most say they only gross 800-850 running Van). They like the free satellite tv, but you can't record/save shows for some reason. Trucks look decent parked next to mine (beat up 03 shaker daycab with 1.3mil on it), trailers all look like they need maintenance though-you see guys out there hammering away to try to knock the pins in to slide the tandems. But hey, every starter company has issues. I trained with the dreaded Werner in 2001 after getting my cdl, didn't make much but they treated me ok and got me home most weekends running Texas Regional. My only complaint about Werner was the low pay, but I stuck it out for 6 months till I could sign on with a better carrier.

 

im at a loss with this one, didn't just knick the posts and pole.

 

How do ya take on the yellow poles, concrete base for light pole and the light pole itself? Looks like the left outside tire on the front axle got blown off and betcha there's a little suspension damage on that front axle as well. Wow!

 

And not realize it and just keep pulling it more lol

 

Hardest part to understand is this all happened on the driver's side and the rig looks pretty straight, unless he backed off it

 

Drove right thru the area on pavement with the solid white lines and hadda be more of those yellow poles there. Maybe his excuse will be he was watching out for that Fedex at the end of the pumps!

 

I'd be curious to hear the driver explain how that happened
