After having been harrassed and coerced over the last week, I've finally had enough. The only equipment they maintain is the small number of Freightliners and their pocketbooks. The Internationals and Volvos are left to fall apart. Trailers are almost universally subject to OOS orders if an LEO inspects them.
Forced per diem is literally half your income, and they'll schedule loads on you in just the right way to only see 1000 miles a week. Current van pay is about 30 cpm INCLUDING PER DIEM.
If you get sick, too bad. Enforcing FMCSR 392.3 gets you written up. Addressing my concerns via Qualcomm got me called into the TM's office for disciplinary action. I just quit on the spot... unemployment won't be worth the effort, and I've had companies tell me they'd rather see a resignation than a termination anyway, so job hunting will be easier this time. I'll be filing my OSHA and DOT complaints when I return home, as well.
Don't consider this outfit. At all. There are better options out there.

D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

Western is a toilet drinker . I'm doing long haul reefer and love it but flatbed is much more paced of a lifestyle . You get 34 hour resets because customers work banker hours .

You were the same way with Swift last month!
Are you telling us the entire truth here?
I Like you,But it seems theres more to your work ethics...
I find it interesting that the few people Ive spoken to at Western Express pulling a flat are just Fine- I know your young,But it may just be your personality too, Not knocking ya...But hats 2 carriers in what,The last year? Thats Scewin ya?
Wasn't Swift because you drove too close to somebody?
C/mon,Lets get it together...........Relax,Just do what your told,Dont complain..And Maybe,Just maybe, Things will get better.polo king 92, GoldenLad, drvrtech77 and 7 others Thank this. -
Roehl is flatbed, looking for drivers. I know nothing about the company. I enjoyed doing flat and stepdeck as an owner operator(meaning my truck and trailer.)
MGE Dawn, D.Tibbitt and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
I'll do quite a number of things without complaint, but drive illegally/unsafely is not one of them. Might have just been my DM and TM, for all I know, but from my perspective... not worth my PSP, DAC, etc. if anything happens, IMO.
That said, you're right. Things can only go up from here. I've learned what not fully doing my homework and accepting the first offer that comes my way does for me... which is to say, nothing goodLast edited: Nov 21, 2019
