    No, you won't "have" to do those things.
    Quit listening to BS and find a better company.
    Very few truckers are low life scum.
    The ones that are tend to stand out.

    There's a learning curve and adjustment to go through, but your 'trainer' is a poor example of the industry. Had you selected a better company to drive for, your experience may have been different. I'd advise you to find a better company, after some solid research, knowing what you now know, and go forth.

    Put a 50 gallon drum in your cab and piss in that, you will get more miles than you can handle with the increase in urine capacity.

    :biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559: My old boss cut the bottom out of a bottle, attached a hose to it and ran the hose through the floor. No need to carry the extra weight.

    You dislike your trainer's scummy actions, yet believe him? Stop acting the victim here, and change your situation. People here are telling you this isn't the norm, it's the exception. Find an upstanding company, and roll with them.

    Sorry, your right....
    Id quit too if I had so many negitive things happen....
    my neighbor went to Western Express and even though it wasn't ideal, he gutted it out... but he was desperate and motivated..... had a good trainer by the sounds of it....terrible driving record, an accident and past felonies didnt give him many choices....

    OP...Why did you go to Western Express???

    Got some personal demons I don't like talking about .


    Anyhow western was the only company to give me a shot out of the 8 megas I applied to

    Plus its only a hour from my house and offered me a 5 day on 2 day off position ,well attending orientation I did get a call back from us xpress finally but I don't know if they will still hire me
    I could try I guess but idk I'm gonna take at least a week to reflect on this

    "Pride Transport - $50.00 tarp pay, xm radio, satellite TV, refrigerator, rider policy."

    I didnt know Pride was running flats now. I know they are building a new terminal on their site in West Valley. Looks to be quite the addition.
