Pros

Overall, the company has treated me very well oh, especially the DMs, the reason why I've been with the company for now 10 years.

Cons

Micromanaging and nonsensical fuel restriction. When requesting fuel, I did not get a fuel solution, but a question, that being, what was wrong with the original fuel solution? I didn't have time nor the patience to answer the question so I delivered the load with what I had. But I will answer the question now. I did not need the fuel in Pennsylvania with 5/8ths of a tank, I did not want it at the time ,because I wanted to get past the state scales first, it was a little out of route, I always enter less fuel than I actually have, so I knew my situation better than both you and the computer, I also knew how much fuel I actually had and basically how far I could go, and finally to Western Express and the fuel Department, you're welcome for saving you money at the pump by bypassing the original fuel solution.

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.
