Hey man congrats on the new job! Western Express doesn't have the best reputation around here because they hire people who may not have a chance with other companies (due to criminal history usually) and they seem to run their drivers pretty hard, which unfortunately translates to a lot of unsafe activity on the road ...
HAVING SAID THAT, it's still a job and a perfect opportunity to keep your head down and make some money! Your first year is going to be tough, wether it's with western, swift, or any of the megas it will highly depend on how flexible and hungry you are as an individual. When you are new, safety needs to be your top priority. Don't let anyone push you or rush you. Your not driving a little sedan anymore, mistakes with these trucks can instantly ruin lives.
Oh and also ... watch your #### mirrors thanks!
