Pros

My overall experience working for WE wasn't too bad. I like the guaranteed minimum for NE Regional driver of $800 ( before taxes of course) for 5 loads or 1800 miles and .50 for 1801+ miles. My paychecks usually were around $1k-$1200 weekly. Just stand your ground so they do not take advantage of you. But it's a great place to start for new drivers or for drivers with a less than pleasing criminal past. My truck was nice.

Cons

Beware of the night time and weekend dispatch. They ask for you to use the QC as a main point of communication but it's kind of impossible to do that once your DM leaves because night dispatch stay on their best bs. So you might as well just go to you closest fuel solution and expect a call from your DM the next day but they pretty much know that the night dispatch is like a daycare for adults.

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.
