    Swift over WE. If I'm correct, Western Express trains you for only 2 weeks, swift I think would have better trainers. Also I think you will get a better quality truck and Dispatch.

    But... Swift has driver facing cameras in their trucks I believe, not sure if western express does.

    Interested to see what others think...
    Just an opinion from what I've read on here and heard around. Go with your best guess.

    Thanks wild murphy, the thing that appeals to me about WE is the flat bed, Im interested in that. I want to go solo after training and feel better with more than 2 weeks training otr so Im kind of up in the air on the decision.

    Swift has flatbed, reefer, dry van, intermodal and Heavy Haul in the PNW. Western is a bad company all the way around

    I wouldn't recommend either. If you're only two options are those two companies id say flip a coin.
