    He's been living overseas for 7 years and just graduated from CDL school. Yes, 10 yrs. experience, but that was before joining the Marines years ago.

    @bryan21384 and myself both had to work for Western Express years ago and that paid off. A wuss can't handle Western Express. I liked those coast to coast and 48 states flatbed loads at Western Express.
    I stayed a year then went to a reefer company running 48 states.

    No choice but to register. That's a federal law for cdl drivers.
    If Western asked you to do that, then you're probably going to be hired.

    We make fun of western express on here but there no shame in working there if that's what you need to do. I worked for pallet logistics once because I needed a job. That's way worse.
