    i am a new member of this forum, mainly to get feedback on a company i am considering to go 2 work for, not western express. however i noticed the thread about western express so i took a look to see if this forum is really drivers or just a bunch of recruiters masqaurading as drivers.. i been otr 7 years & 2 of them were at western express pulling flatbed... i worked there when wayne wiese was still alive & running the company. maybe things have changed since he passed on... it was the worst company i ever worked for hands down.. low pay,never got me home, treated me & everyone i knew there at the time like we were trash under thier feet.. i personally know that attitude started at the top and went all the way thru mngmt. again maybe things have changed but anyone that was driving for western express as of 2 1/2 years ago and says it was a good company is a fraud & i will probly have my doubts about this forum... that company was that bad & any otr guy out here can verify what im saying

    Why is it when i hear negative remarks about a company its always about themselves. Telling everyone on this forum that you had a bad exp with the company. Have you ever thought that your bad exp with them was because you never put in enough to make them see how dedicated you are to your job or maybe you were slacking in your work. If you show proof of all these bad moves that the company is making towards yourself and other drivers then others will approve your word. I'm glad that i have a chance to drive for Western Express Flatbed. I have everything in writing and signed by my recruiter and future DM and Dispatcher that with my Exp. I will be getting payed over 40cpm as a company driver and that hometime is guaranteed if I notify them 2weeks in advance. You need to really look at your own efforts. Because thats how you will get paid and noticed by your efforts and dedication. When you put in more you will get more. Drive Safe.

    So you just signed up here...........and just signed with W/E? Check back in after you get some time in with these yucks. One of the guys I was pulling gas with was going in the hole At Westurd Express. They knew his wife was disabled, and he couldn't get home. I don't believe that you signed an agreement with the recruiter. Even if you did? Doesn't mean squat. No need for a "signed agreement." There is a company driver hand book. I am sure it's all in there. Getting them to abide by their own rules?:biggrin_25523:
