Pros

If you do get a good DM you might make 800 a week

Cons

They have trucks that shut off and don't idol so if you're in heat you have to find ways around it. You don't get home time like u should and it hard to get a good check.

Pros

If your looking to start out in the trucking world and you have a checkered pass the western express is the place to go. New trucks .

Cons

Ooo the con's pay sucks but you get paid. It is a sliding pay scale if your a rookie 26¢ a mile over 600 any thing under 300 miles is 34¢ . if you run hard and stay out for 5 weeks don't think your going home even if you tell them a month a week in advance. 34 hour reset you better not do it lol. Planers don't plan DM's don't manage supervisor swing golf clubs that's what the do. If you live on the east cost great that's were they will keep you running. If you have a medical problems and you have to go to the doctor. They don't care. The hotel is the worst they will not reimburse for nothing.

Pros

there are no pro's to thinking about working here if you are a new driver

Cons

new hire went to orientation, next day they called me and stated I was disqualified, never told me why, no one answers their phone call or returns any messages. Could not even get a bus ticket home, they left me stranded.
