      Avoid Western Express -- Stay Away!

      Pros

      Operates newer Trucks than the average trucking company

      Cons

      Home time? what a joke!, pay @.28 per mile?, still laughing, do you consider medical insurance with a $25,000 per year cap to be decent insurance? The majority of drivers who work here are homeless. Driver managers are clueless and the planning sucks! Drivers are lucky to get 1700-1800 miles per week! Who wants to work here except the homeless?

      Pros

      Plenty of miles, steady work

      Cons

      No inverters. They do not provide inverters, so you end up paying a big chunk of your paycheck to eat from truck stops. They will not allow you to install an inverter. I asked and was told that I couldn't. They tell you they will get you home then send you on a run the opposite direction without enough hours to get back home on time. No communication from Driver Managers. Rarely answer messages, and more rarely answer phone calls. You tell them your truck has issues. They never get you to a terminal to get them looked at. They give you a relay for delivery. You go to the terminal to pick it up and it's buried. If it's a weekend, you, the driver have to spend your clock digging it out. The Bloomington, CA terminal has no driver's lounge to speak of. The restroom is a wreck, and good luck finding parking. Do yourself a favor. If you can get hired elsewhere, do it. I lasted 3-1/2 weeks and had to quit.
