Western Express Flat bed division

I recently got hired by this company for their flatbed division. I specifically stated I have no flatbed experience but was willing to give it a try, I was wrong on all accounts. To train someone on how to do flatbed work, they must have the new comers to "physically" to the strapping, tarping, and chaining. The drivers who were with Western were the ones getting on the trailers to do most of the setting up amd showing how the company wanted it done. Long story short, I quit the flatbed and went over to the dry van side. With 3 years non flatbed experience, I was still forced into doing a 2 week evaluation. For what reason? I have experience! Whatever you do, avoid Western Express like the plague.

 

I can see being shown what to do the first time then in turn us rookies get up there and do it. But I can see why western express didn't want us rookies up there since there were about 100 of us there. I am the kind of person who is "hands on".

 

I believe it. Out of those 100, me included, only 30 of us survived.

 

Before coming to Western Express, I have 3 years prior experience pulling dry vans. Although they do not go to Illinois with their dry van side, I am happy just to be working.
