    Hey guys, the orientation staff was messing with us, Western Express does not do hair follicle tests. I apologise for the the bad info I got. Again, no hair tests at WE. Be safe out there.
     
    enoch334 Thanks this.

    Hi Phoenix....I am starting at WE on Monday and am hoping you get to see/reply by late tomorrow. I would like to know as much as you can remember from the time you walked thru the door to when you got done with all training....specifics like what they asked for (paper wise), things they tested in physical and/or DT, and then how long you were out after being hired on before you got to come back home. Before anyone gives me backlash....I don't care to be out for 5 or 6 weeks....it's just that I recently had a child come into my life and, of course, that makes you feel different about wanting more hometime. Also, as for a job, this is pretty much my very last chance. Believe me, WE wouldn't be my first choice, or anywhere on my list of companies to drive for.

    Don't pay any attention to these prejudice people. Just ignore them. I just went through the whole orientation and am with a trainer now. It's just a pee test. Hair follicle is expensive. Western is cheap and needs drivers badly.
     
    Rubicon and enoch334 Thank this.
