Westside Transport

The only time I call is when I picked up or delivered in Chicago or some parts of NJ
Other then that Google maps can tell me everything I need to know

 

my father wroks for them outt of ceder rapids, hes got the same feelings as you, but they have been good to him, has been given 3 trucks in the 3.5 years here, they put him in a 2016 cascadia that he likes a lot. they seem to be a n alright company.

 

I've seen some of their equipment around at one of their terminals at South St.Paul,MN. The trailers look kinda elderly. I also saw some of their equipment on the east coast( in Pennsylvania in particular). Some of the trailers were bought second hand and were ex-Western Express trailers(if you're close enough you can see where the old WSXI stickers/logos used to be).

 

I used to drive for them back in 97 to 98, they used to only hire if you had 2yrs experience then. Also used to get longer runs if you did your job. From what I've heard they're nowhere near the same as they were. But I guess most of the companies have done what they had to to survive.

 

I can get directions through people net, but never a phone number. I guess a few places complained of drivers calling asking if they would be loaded early. Stupid imo because the directions can be very choppy.

Being a young guy I thought an atlas was an antique tool when i first started. Now I cross reference every route with it. Live and learn

 

What are regional drivers averaging mile-wise with these people? I'm currently talking to their recruiter and they boast $70,000 gross per year. They still pushing short haul for the regional guys? How about OTR?

 

I used to work down the street from the south St. Paul terminal. I called them and they turned me down for a dui I told them about, I just wanted to hear what they would offer I would have turned them down anyways I think but I was just calling around.

Now they spam my email everyday and keep calling. It's super annoying, same with eejay, called them once and they won't leave me alone.

This dosent always work ive had multiple times where the employees are like the op and cant find their job without a gps they really cant even describe the building they work in or landmarks like stores or gas stations

 

If anything I call other drivers who have been there.
