Pros

Have nothing notable to say

Cons

Lies about home time- I get one night at home after being out 5 weeks. Cheats drivers injured on job out of money- broke my foot and had to stay in Nashville Tn. and do light duty to have a paycheck of any kind and still had to perform tasks requiring walking and standing on my feet. Was paid a total of $ 19 by workmans comp for 6 weeks of downtime. Steals from its drivers- when I was injured company reassigned my truck and rhey cleaned my personal property out of ir. They took ratchet binders, coil edge potectors rhat belonged to me and refuse to return them or compensate me for them. Cheats drivers out of tarp pay- $15 for full 8' drop lumber tarp. In addition, has little concern for drivers with health issues tarping in sub-zero or +90 degree weather by virtue of the established pay for tarping. I used to like Western alot but now am ashamed to admit I drive for them and as soon as possible I will leave them.

Pros

Greetings.., My tenured at Western Express began Jan 2024. Throughout my stationary period with the company, I’ve had the honor and privilege to work with agent Ken Brooks. Ken and myself have not always witnessed or observed the same portrait at times. However, like every relationship, there will be disagreements. Nonetheless, Ken has served as the head-coach and myself the point-guard. Similar to many coaches and athlete duo. Ken is knowledgeable, reliable and sharp thinking, as his intuitive nature pours success. He not only wants you to thrive and be successful, he is position-less in one’s ability to be successful. This is accomplished by providing routes, formative feedback and suggestions to maximize your time and money. Despite his motion for team and honors. He is easy to communicate and has often replied to questions while on his break. Not everyone has that property trait, particular quality, skill, or attribute. Through my lens, Ken has put his best foot forward and continues aid, guidance and do what is best for the individual (myself).

Cons

If I needed to add a con, it would be better transparency. Nonetheless, Ken has shown, he is willing and able to build on this con. He has strengthen his communicational traits.
