Most people at western express dont make to the trainer, and they dont make it through the training process, because they are stupid, and are frusterated easily. We only got into it one time, but we got through it and it was done. First day i drove 3-400 miles in the wrong direction while he slept, so make sure you know where your goin before you move the vehicle. He was fine (you can never touch or have your cellphone while driving) that was the only main rule, drive all you can each day, and #. My trainer was a black guy with no teeth named greg austin. they will do a medical, and you will do 1 day flatbed in class training(watching videos)(phillip massey) then one half day hands on, load securement.Īfter thats done you will wait for the remaining days however long it takes to get your trainer, waited probably 5 days for mine. After your finally in, the shuttle will take you to the terminal, youll be there all day for 3 days straight, Oh and get ready when you see all the 80+(every monday) recruits 90% are black, and have tattoos on their necks.(not a huge issue, just lettin you know)In fact everyone was nice to me, and i didnt have any issues. You will have a roommate at the hotel, my guy was fine.

Which ill be honest people wanna complain about, BUT ITS FREE FOOD BRO!! i only ate it half the time, but i was very grateful. Also if you are broke, they give 3 free meals a day. youll goto the hallmark in, which is owned by the company, they have 200 rooms, and you will get free room and board for 7-10 days, while you complete orientation.

When you get started at western youll be in nashville tenessee, everyone is black in this area, im white, wasnt an issue, just a slight culture shock. (nothing is consistent with trucking pay) As a solo i made $500-700 per week,Īs trainer i made $800-$1200 per week. Once you have 6 months experience, accident and ding free, now you got options.Īs I said if your trying to making money WE, is not the company for you, but if you just wanna get your experience,Īnd you got no money, this can be a nice starter in the trucking industry. When your first coming out here, nobody will hire you. See what i learned was everything, about flatbed, and driving a semi. Maybe now i can find a better company who pays better, i was right. But my 6 months was finally up, I thought, well now i have 6 months, we were together for 2-3 weeks, and drove all over the # country, truck always moves never stops. Wasnt makin enough so I thought ok, ill be a trainer(did trainer for 3 months), so i did that, I taught 3 students, first one was good, second one #, third one good. You can never go off your assigned and designated path (all companies) this company has alot of trucks an you are just a number, wanna call somebody? good luck, sit down, send a message through the pad, and hope they get to you, that is all. So I thought alright give me loads that are 1000 miles etc, that way i can just drive, i think the strategy worked, but now you got down time. you are paid by the mile, i think my last rate was 68 cents per mile. Western express has alot of small contracts, the more of those you do, the more they make, but you dont make, 2 stops 300 miles etc, you do 5 of those, 1 each day, you did all the work, I got me a 53' flat, tarps etc.ĭrove all over the # country. I did it all at western, i started out as a flatbed trainee, got on with a trainer in his truck for 2-3 weeks, then got my own 22 international.(did solo flatbed for 3 months) Boy was i happy to finally be on my own. You will not make any money at all, and you werent meant to be a trucker. One thing you will find however with ALL trucking companies is if you dont do a minimum of 500 miles per day, I am against teams in general because the truck is always moving, and you wont be able to sleep very well,Įach day you will only get 6 hours of sleep if your lucky. So if your goal is to make money, then dont waste your time, because you wont be happy. Western express is not a company for making money, that is not its purpose, 'need a pay bump ?' (only trust opinions from people who have worked here for 6 months, like me.) Hi, i worked at western express for 6 months, it was my last job, quit just last november.
