Pros

The only reason I stay is because of my DM she is fantastic . The safety Department is top notch too

Cons

Sliding pay scale , BREAK DOWN department leaves you on hold for forever and try's to make you run illegal "thank god for safety" , driver trainers are only in it for the money and don't have any experience them selfs there min requirement has just been upped from 3mo to 6mo " just recovered a load from driver who didn't know about weight limits and how they work " short home time , don't give a crap attitude from other drivers about leaving trailers with DOT VIOLATIONs "average broken trlr 3-4 a week always carry spare parts and hopefully it's just a light " you are a target for DOT and bully drivers this company is not just at the bottom of the barrel it's the sludge . I can keep going but I encourage you to see for your self !

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.
