    If I had to pick the worse truck drivers on the highways today, Western Express drivers would certainly be close to #1.

    These 2hr driving schools have to go I tell ya. Drivers are more worried about being a youtube star. Or checking fart bubbles website than anything!!!

    Should they stop offering cdl's in a vending machine, where you just walk up and punch in your state?
     
    Tb0n3, bzinger and CrappieJunkie Thank this.

    Want an experienced driver? You pay for one. Want a 4wheeler with a CDL? You get what you pay for. More rules and regulations won't stop ignorant people from being ignorant.

    In our area to hold a CDL under a tier two or even a active one during contact with the Law gains a measure of respect. CHL is the other method.

    I think the fault belongs to WE on this one. Since I don't know what happened to sides and rear of this truck (The full situation on that road at that area...) all I can conclude is WE driver is at fault.

    I just had to laugh seeing the Western Express ad stuck right in the middle of two posts here. The irony. I also laughed at WE when they wanted me to sign their year contract for a refresher. Nah thanks. They'd probably try and run me illegal, fire me, screw up my dac and then slap me with a two grand bill.
