Pros

terminal located in a nice city, The female dispatcher there was really nice and seemed to be very good at her job.

Cons

My dispatcher was not good, load planner was worse , freight base is slow, hard to communicate with anyone after business hours. sat on a Walmart load for 3 days waiting for it to get approved to be dropped. Dispatchers don't respect hometime regardless of how long you have stayed out. Seem to have more drivers than freight. was told the company drivers are favored for loads over the owner ops. the "load board" they say you get to pick your loads off of is a joke. was asked to run a load that was about 400 miles that would have paid just for my fuel so I could get to a location to get a better load. Craigslist ad says you can gross 4500 to 6000, that's not true at all.

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.
