    If they can't find me a load and I want to go and I have the hours can I broker my own load

    The trailer really has nothing to do with it.Its who’s authority numbers are you running under which is of course Western .Opus is right you would need to ask them.im sure it’s addressed in your lease agreement.

    Does Western Express ever wash their trucks? I saw at least a dozen white trucks this week with their name on the door, everyone of them were filthy.

    They have wash bays at the terminal problem with that is I haven't seen a terminal in 4 months so I just come off the 40 bucks and get a rinse off at the beacon about once a month

    IT IS ALWAYS A BAD IDEA TO LEASE A TRUCK FROM THE SAME COMPANY YOU DEPEND ON FOR YOUR REVENUE.
    It really is no more than indentured servitude, look it up.

    Thats how they built the Hoover dam. Except, they got paid in scrips only redeemable in the workers village at the company owned stores. seems doable. Ha!

    hehehe become a trainer and they will keep you running, their company trucks and trainers have priority you are the one paying the bill so they don't care. freight is slow but is not that slow
