    My only suggestion is do a lot of looking and research.
    You'll be told of a hundred jobs and 99 will turn out to be Western Express in different colors.
    You don't wanna become a job hopper already.
    Stick with Western til you're sure you found the job you can stick with at least a year.
    Don't be desperate
    Good luck

    Look at trucks you see on the highway
    The drivers too, it tells a lot
    Where are they out of
    Jot down named
    Make calls
    Google #### reviews
    Check indeed and Glassdoor for reviews
    Check out their Facebook page and comments.
    Avoid all the big boys
    You're looking for a needle in a large haystack.
    Most of us are.
