    Good for you driver, I'm glad you're doing well there. I worked there my rookie year(2010). I see very little has changed lol. That's exactly how I would evaluate them too, minus the trainer part. I never felt like it was as bad as everyone thought.

    I saw a Western Express truck recently, it was dark blue with black lettering and it looked like it had been washed recently. I thought to myself, " Western Express can't be as bad as everyone says it is." This thread confirms my suspicions.

    They will need a cake to go with that.. I'd say an oreo ice cream would work, since it has their colors

    Wayne Wise, I like the way that just rolls off the tounge. I wonder if he and his wife would be up to enjoying some wings and gizzards this 4th of July? I could have Mobely or O'dell pick them up at the airport. Luckily they are both off probation now.

    That’s my take too.

    Yeah, I know the equipment usually looks trashed, the flatbed securement leaves a lot to be desired, some bad rookie behavior on the roads -

    If they’re the only outfit willing to give a guy a start, then take the opportunity and give it hell. We all started somewhere.

    Don't mean to ....ummmm....interrupt, Honest TB, but I'm still waiting on that check, the one you said you mailed 3 weeks ago! Do I have to get Guido, Morty, and @Frank Speak involved? Do I tell the assembled masses that your "wings" are buzzard wings, and that your "gizzards" are plankton based? Or that you charge $251.76 to park at this "extravaganza"? Or that Inga may not be there? Or that Mobely and O'Dell plan on doing a cabaret type drag show?

    you know something brother, everything is as good or bad as you make it. The choice is yours.
    Sure, Western has a bad rep, mostly because they'll hire anyone with a pulse. BUT, that's not to say you can't get your wings wet and move on.

    LIES LIES and more LIES!! (notice the capitalization and exclamation points). Slander and innuendo! Just for that no wings for you! No reserved parking! AND no front row seating for Inga on the trampoline!
