    What you got paid was company driver? You ever did LP with them. How much you can make as a LP driver?.. do they cameras facing the driver?, they got APU’s in the truck. Where you drive the most? I aint a fan of the coast’s like NY or CA.. ik you said dont come here for the money, which is fine i plan on trying to get a lil more experience 5 or 6 months then going to another company ive talked too. How fast are there trucks. How are there equipment? U break down often?.. and most importantly how did you like driving for them. Most reviews are bad which its fine but ik theres some stuff i can put up with and everyone experience is Different. I thinking most ppl be angry about petty things.

    I'd bet hard cash an experienced NE driver is making .51-.61 there. Crazy layover and a pre-wrecked LT or Cascadia with dynamic speed limiter

    I know they rarely get their regional drivers home for reset, and layover negates any high rate

    You'd be crazy to team there when any better company is going to fast track hire a team. I talked to a Western flatbed team driver once and he didn't seem to be doing well

    It’s funny because I’m new and have recruiters from Western promising better per mile pay than anyone else.

    Spoke to a recruiter from another company and mentioned them. I got some unsolicited advice from this other company’s recruiter about Western that really opened my eyes.

    So, unless they’re willing to give you something in writing, I wouldn’t trust whatever they’re claiming to be offering. I would think that should go for any company offering you a job. Make sure they put that offer on paper / email whatever.

    What I heard is that Western will move the goalposts on the offer they “told” you about. Usually while you’re going through their orientation / training process.

    I worked for Western Express, didn't see proof only what a DM relayed to via there quto and driver ranking, " it's drivers there who have and is earning 150k a year, I didn't ask if it was teams or owner operators, but my guess these people no how to run load so far drop it at a yard and keep going.

    Welcome to TTR. I, too, am a Western Express survivor. Drove for those buggers from 2013 to 2015.

    @mjd4277 and @bryan21384 are also Welfare Express survivors and our support group consists of us making fun of the dumb stuff we post on the Trucking Accidents forum.

    Feel free to drop by.
