Western Express or Werner

Yikes...

If it were me, I'd stay with Werner...

 

Stick with Werner for 2 reasons.

1 - You have a job

2 - Longevity will look better on your record.

3 - The comparison is like rotten apples, or rotten fish.

Whoops, that was 3 reasons.

 

What they said ^^^^^^^^

 

Also not getting ticket is important too so ur not stuck in the future.

 

Agree with others-stay with Werner. I have and never will drive for Western Xpress, but have heard too much negative news about them and you are not improving any.

On another note: At one time, Werner was a top company and would not even think of hiring a driver unless they had a full years experience. They did not have driving schools and had only 'old school' type drivers. The advent of the mega carriers and driver training programs instituted by JB Hunt and others cut into Werner's profit, and cheaper rates meant lost freight. They (Werner) were actually drug down to the state of a 'run of the mill' company by the likes of the megas.

 

Wow man......it's better for you to just stay out here. You won't get in as much trouble on the road, unless you do something stupid. I worked at Western out of trucking school on the flatbed side. I did ok there. Lots of miles, little sometime. OTR trucking is OTR trucking, with minor differences. Every company has an jambassador and every company has a whiner, both in large numbers. It takes time out on the road to make legit money as an OTR company driver. You could call Western and at least hear what they have to say. Me personally, I would ride it out with Werner because you're familiar with them. Its better the devil you know. They have pretty nice equipment. Keep your options open though. It never hurts to put feelers out there.

 

From what I remember when I was going to go to Western at one point. They just got their prepass back which tells you something. While I get all the green lights on mine at werner.

 

From all the western drivers I've known and talked with..stay at Werner !!!! you've only been driving 6months don't be in such a hurry to leave stay a year or two then you can get a much better gig..
