The hiring mgr is a real nice guy. I think the problem is, based on my conversations with other drivers and other reviews I have read, is the owner tends to micro-manage the operation rather than depend on the talents and abilities of his managers (control freak syndrome). THIS MICRO MANAGEMENT LEADS TO AN INORDINATELY LOW SALARY FOR A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER WITH PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS. I found their offer of $15 an hour for 15 years of experience with a PERFECT MVR AND CSA to be absolutely insulting. What's worse is, they offer this salary (hourly equivalent) for MOUNTAIN WORK with all the required chaining, tight maneuvering in resort parking lots etc. They try to mitigate it by saying they have outstanding benefits. Well, thank God I never got hired (I was feeling a bit desperate at the time because I do have a spotty job history) but I went on to work for a LOCAL LTL company at OVER $18 an hour with benefits that blow my mind because part of their company is union so they aren't subject to Obamacare rules like many other insurance plans. The benefits I got with this DIFFERENT COMPANY are better than my wife's (who is a professional person who works for a company which manages billions in assets). The sad thing about Western Paper is they are apparently so cost conscious that they refuse even to negotiate a higher salary for a pro-driver with a nearly perfect record. So, imagine what you'll get if you've got an accident or a ticket? If you're serious about a professional career as a driver, having to put on an app for your next company that Western Paper payed you a flimsy $15 an hour to drive a Class A truck is NOT going to look good for your reputation. For the benefit of full disclosure, Western Paper did NOT offer me a job - but I think that is because I tried to negotiate higher pay. Their loss / my gain. I now have an $18 + an hour job, amazing benefits, and work with people I REALLY LIKE (at a different company). And, for the first time as a trucker, I got TWO days off for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you interview with Western Paper, carefully consider what your professional driving qualifications are really worth to you in a job market that has a historic and chronic SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED DRIVERS. Because about all the respect you're going to get at Western is similar to if you were a courier or taxi cab driver. Good luck.
