Pros

I have been working for Western Express for the last 5 months. I have to say I have grown in so many ways as a new driver. My DM (Jimmy) listens to my concerns about time management and being successful. The company overall is trying to improve with drivers that care about their equipment and making money. Western Express is known for being a starter company...i have turned into a professional driver and they have increased my pay to the point of its competitive with other companies. I drive a 2021 Freightliner they are constantly bringing in new trucks. My pay is always accurate and they listen to me and work with me. If you are just starting out this is a great company to start with...i think I will stay!

Cons

Low pay but now I just jumped to $.46 a mile. I think that their trainers need to have more than 3 months experience in order to produce a confident driver.

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.
