    You can go live there if you want. There were guys that had been failing CDL licensing living in their dorms for months. I almost wonder how many people are just homeless.

    This is good advice.....I always say, all companies have ambassadors and complainers. It's nothing wrong with going to work for either outfit. At the end of the day, trucking is trucking

    Its weird man. So many people read reviews and define their experience by what is read. I know drivers that like working there too. I liked it when I was there. I got my start there and actually made money there

    Years ago I worked for XpressCo which was a coast to coast flatbed company. Wayne Wise started the company and he's the same man that started Western Express. My experience there was good and provided a job when I really needed one. Western Express fills a niche that is needed for some drivers that have problems in their past and should be appreciated for that.

    I got my start at Western many moons ago. I made money back then ran hard. I had a great Dm & his dad was the safety guy. We ran good & remained friends. I appreciated Western for giving me an opportunity when others wouldn't because my license had a few strikes on it. We live in America still the land of great opportunities make the best of where ever you go.

    I'm not feeling so hot.:pukeleft::pukeright:

  9. take your choice do you want to be treated like crap and a number where nobody cares about you and bosses you around? then head on over to Centennial place in Nashville. Western Express is just right for you.
    or do you want to not only be a number but be babysat and have your handheld everywhere you go telling you what to do? take a look at the side of the trucks...
    place Ifta the sticker here. don't do this and don't do that...YADA YADA YADA we got the camera watching you.. then go to Knight Swift. or any of their affiliates Barr Nunn, Sky
    in my opinion:
    both are six of one or half dozen of the other
     
    Veryblessed Thanks this.

    I thought it was illegal for anyone to sleep anywhere but the bottom bunk when the truck is moving? So how do they get away with that?
