Pros

This company hire any one.

Cons

Uff ! Let's start with the pay ( is not so great and they lie about your payment ) like for instance after 30 days they will give you a raise didn't happen ... The trucks are not taken care well at all... And when you take them to get fix it comes out worse... Let's talk about miles they will hold you down under 1400 like that you will get paid the Lowe's price and they will give you only 3 loads a week... Another thing is that even if you are a good driver (men's get the worst trucks) woman's they will give them the new trucks... Also my truck have so many problems that I have listed on the tablet and what is the word ... We are going to send you here to fix it but no down payment no fixing the problems .... DMs are like I will get you a load .... Yes for 2 days later and where your time goes to siht ... And you can't do that load so you need to be at the shipper or a truck stop to reset but they said time management... Time management start in the office... I'm well orientated with time management...ASAP they other company call me I'm out ... Oh I almost forgot to mention Don't pay them the 2,000 of training because you don't went to school for them... If I could give this company a -5 stars I will give them that ..

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.
