    OP quit Western and turned his truck in. He's looking for a company job now (per his last update on a thread in Owner Op section). L/P claims another one.

    I can tell you western express lease purchase sucks. I just broke my lease a couple days ago. First off I don't know how the flatbed side works. I ran dry van. You need to watch the video on YouTube by midnight mannero. He explains how he lease purchase is. I experienced the same thing he did.

    I worked for a month without pay. They ran me just enough to pay for fuel and cover my insurances and that was it. 2500 miles in 14 days was all I got.

    first off demand to get a truck through a third party like quality that way you get paid 70% of load and pick your load instead of l/p one of they're trucks at .95 cpm and yes they will do that for you.

    I work Monday-Friday and I'm home every night with Western. I only use 3 brokers for my freight. It's been pretty good for me.
