    I went to orientation.was there for a week.I was retired for almost 9 yrs.Got stuck with a refresher student to train.Was not told they are mostly a northeast operating co.I told them that is somewhere I don't go.Have 23 yrs.experience payed my due to the northeast coast.I told them I was a log hauler.2-3 months out a week at home.Kept getting short loads in the mean time trying to teach a student the ropes.After numerous argument over the qualcom and many un-return phone calls after 3 weeks of this I told them to shove their company and trucks.Undoubtily the worst company I ever had the privilege working for.They are all liars there.and will not try to help you if you have a problem,and don't even try to call them they will not answer or return your call.

    When you go to work for a crap company expect to get crapped on! Or....you can save yourself the trouble and do a little research!

    Why not drive for a company with regional so you don't have to do the Northeast thing.
    South East Carriers doesn't do Northeast, but does lots of West Coast turns.

    Sounds like a bad fit, not necessarily a bad company.

    Indeed.....the success stories at WE are legion. Maybe it's a 'regional' kinda deal.....ya know, north don't understand the south and that sort of thing.

    I'm sorry. So you "did your time in the northeast" years back. Why does Western Express need to honor your "demands" not to run northeast? What's wrong with the northeast anyway? Anymore, I'd rather run into Mass then into Georgia. The 23 years experience, ending 9 years ago will not get you much respect or appreciation these days.

    There's plenty of good drivers in the market, and there's plenty of mediocre drivers in the market, and plenty of drivers coming up that may make a good hand, and today, carriers don't care which group they hire from.

    I'm sorry. Let me dry your tears. It's ok.......



    You stopped driving for 9 years, and then you start at Western Express, which is a garbage company, but that's besides the point. You "paid your dues" by running the northeast?? Trucking means YOU GO WHERE THE FREIGHT GOES. You're no different than anyone else. Buy your own truck and then decide where you won't run and to top it off you decided to give them attitude and be insubordinate. No wonder why you got only short loads. Your attitude will get you far.
