    western express is less than a joke. never ever go on a truck recovery for them..... you will LOSE money. the 1st on we did, well, there was no truck. the next one i went to get was in a tow yard somewhere out past victoville. the truck had been used on city runs in los angeles. OMG! and can you say OMG! i first took that truck to a truck wash. lets just say that truck would never be white again. the engine was so gunked over it was awful. then on to the freightliner dealer. that was a week of waiting just to find out the shop manager wouldnt authorize the work that needed to be done just so i could legally get it back to nashville. after threatening a dot inspection done by the dot the work was finally done. but just enough to get it there.
    ok so we are now talking 2 and a half weeks later i finally got to nashville, delivered the load and went to the yard. at a pay that was supposed to be $100 per day, i made only the money from the load i ran from san juan capistrano california to nashville tennessee. i got nothing, not even a kiss my tushie. 3 days later, me and my hubby were gone from that ummmmmm yea ok, company

    THEY ARE a JOKE. I work for 'em...I know! Just trying to figure out how to get out from under them without hurting my family even more than they have.

    I would have insured I was going to get paid for waiting. I would have proudly brought the equipment back just as a matter of principle.

    I hope U were able 2 get another job since U post this a year ago? Nobody's heard fm U in a while unless U were able 2 hookup w/a local company.....Abandoning a truck esp 1 fm Western they'll hv it posted on their QualComm/PeopleNet on board truck msgs as stolen & hold it over your head!!
    I know I'm going thru the same crap U went thru...only w/flatbed but U can't let em make U stoop to their insidious level...U don't know what's going 2 happen in a few wks if I get screwed on this wk's ck.......They'll wish I abandoned my truck when I get thru ......Hope 2 hear fm U soon!!

    I was working a week later . I went back to auto transport 6 months ago I purchased my truck and I'm looking at a second with in the next 6 months to a year . I will never work for another #### company that treats employees like #### . Good luck to you and to all the drivers out there that have enough common sense to realize these big carriers don't give a crap about their drivers .

    I concur.....Do that to one company, when they call to verify employment, that skeleton will fall out the closet. Way to go turbo...
