Western Express

They deduct $12.50 from first paycheck for a safety vest, hard hat and gloves.

 

Ok, thank you. Could anyone tell me if they have EZ pass or how they handle tolls? Do you ever have to pay for tolls out of pocket? Thanks again.

 

No EZ pass in all trucks.
They pay all tolls except George Washington bridge North bound. Do not take 95 North through NYC, you will be paying the toll. Southbound take 95 all you want. They make you well aware of this in orientation in Nazareth at least.

 

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand about the EZ pass. Are you saying that EZ pass is installed in the trucks and that's how they pay the tolls? Or it is not installed, but Western reimburses you for tolls? (and I apologize for not understanding, and I appreciate you being willing to reply to my posts)

 

It is installed

 

Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it.

 

EFS card? Do they pay direct deposit by the way? How do you manage your time then with having to get authorization number etc? I am debating whether to go with Western. They want to fly me all the way from Oregon to Nashville for a refresher then go with a trainer from there but have to commit to 12 months (because of refresher).

 

Here's some additional information they gave me.
Are chains required? NO
Are Western Pre-planned? YES BUT NONE FORCE DISPATCH
Pay for dead head/bob tail? YES
and lay over detention pay? $10 an hr/23 he's then $35 a day
