Western Express Cons or Crooks

Don't go into details about the firing. That has nothing to do with it.


Good luck suing several states away. They'll just say you abandoned it.


24 years experience?? I hardly know any truckers in their 40's that are bad to the bone.

 

I say go INTO detail. Otherwise, a lot of us might read into story as just a boatload of BS. Details, please!!

 

Doing what the recruiter said? Or what dispatch said?

 

earlier last month one of our drivers was working under our/his truck when western express pulled in an sideswiped him and the guy took off during this ordeal our driver got slammed under the truck broke his fingers and he only got part of a tag number so the lady made us go through all of the reports and the damage estimate and pics to let us know that unfortunatly there was no proof no witness and they are not paying squat so i guess our driver doesn't count as a whitness. So if you get hit by one of there trucks dont worry its on you to fix it $3,800.00 dollars out of our pockets cause they claim they are self insured . So if you work for western express just hit people and run your good, this company is horrible with who they hire fresh green newbies and the guy that hit us couldnt even hardly speak english.

 

Doesn't surprise me...I've seen that before with that company.

 

this sounds weird, seems like something is missing?

 

They tell you to go to TN from IN to look over application= Your getting kicked to the curb.

They are going to spend money to ship belongings of someone they fired? They shipped that stuff strait to the dumpster and another body behind the wheel.

Unless you have a itemized list of all the belongs you left in the truck signed off on by the super. Your not going to win in court. Like has been said they will just blame the loss on you.

But maybe someone else can be saved by reading your post.

Also many company's put in their employee manual how long they will hold your belongings. But if left in a truck they will probably not follow their own policy and just have the new driver poop can what they don't want to keep.

 

why not direct you back to the terminal to fire you? Why pull you out in the middle of nowhere basically? I think I would have pulled everything I could have out of the truck and rented a car or something. Maybe call the police and tell them Im stranded. How did they get you back to "go over your application"? Or were you at a terminal? Hmmm Id have cleaned out the sob, if I even sensed something was wrong before i got to the terminal, truck broke down, whatever it takes. Scary

Oh, why did they fire you? We need details, otherwise it sounds like just another weird horror truck story where we have to guess what happened...

P.S. Theres a Western Express truck parked next to me. o_o
