    Insurance is one area covered very well in orientation. I don't have my employee handbook right here (and I don't need their coverage because I have insurance through my retirement plan), but the rates seemed reasonable and limitations not that bad. They also offer stand-alone vision and dental, which isn't something you see offered.

    And they have issues, but if you understand and accept what Western is going in and put up with the crap for as long as it takes, you can make a living here pulling flatbeds. I don't know anything about the van division since I'm not in it. The trucks are not in bad shape and they are going all-auto in the next 2-3 years.

    Also, many companies do not share specific benefit information to a caller on the phone. It's a competitive issue to protect their information. The benefit information at Western is very well covered in orientation with lots of printed material. They aren't hiding anything.

    I think the issue there is why wouldn't you share it with a prospective hire? If that's what makes or breaks their choice of employment and you've got good coverage, why wouldn't you share it?

    Its a tough call for anyone to make. It's one thing to not give specifics, but a whole other thing to give zero info.
