    Go with LCL Bulk. That tanker experience will pay off in the long run. Tanker drivers usually have consistant paychecks from week to week the whole year, with little fluctuation in the dollar amount, so you end the year with a good annual income.

    Thank you both, that's where western was trying to get me, saying good frieght, home every weekend. The guy from lcl was upfront about everything. But I was reading on here lcl charges you to be out with a trainer, any idea if this is true or not?

    I agree with everyone else. Tanker expieriance is invaluable and Western Express is about as trashy as they come.
