I currently drive with Werner but been looking into Western Express, I have a year 6 month experience I don't have other many options because of a careless ticket in March in my personal vehicle. Besides that does Western Express make u fuel where they tell you to for X amount of gallons? With Werner I can stop anywhere I want to and do my own fuel routed that's on the fuel network for however much fuel I need not a X amount. I only been looking at them because the Western Regional account with Werner I get stuck out east for weeks at a time. Feedback please
Western Express or Werner

If it were me, I'd stay with Werner...Rug_Trucker, drvrtech77, mattymatt and 6 others Thank this. -
Stick with Werner for 2 reasons.
1 - You have a job
2 - Longevity will look better on your record.
3 - The comparison is like rotten apples, or rotten fish.
Whoops, that was 3 reasons.Rug_Trucker, New/OldSchoolTrucker89, D.Tibbitt and 4 others Thank this. -
What they said ^^^^^^^^
mattymatt and Trucker61016 Thank this. -

Agree with others-stay with Werner. I have and never will drive for Western Xpress, but have heard too much negative news about them and you are not improving any.
On another note: At one time, Werner was a top company and would not even think of hiring a driver unless they had a full years experience. They did not have driving schools and had only 'old school' type drivers. The advent of the mega carriers and driver training programs instituted by JB Hunt and others cut into Werner's profit, and cheaper rates meant lost freight. They (Werner) were actually drug down to the state of a 'run of the mill' company by the likes of the megas.Ghost719 Thanks this. -
