Pros

There are no good reasons to work at Western Express. I would have given it a zero if it would have let me.

Cons

Everything!!! No JOKE... Told me I would be north east regional so I could see my family every weekend and they put me over the road. Making barley 500 a week. I have no direct tv or even a tv. Nothing they told me was true. Beware drivers!! This is not a joke. I wish it was.

Pros

None they get a kickback from the government after 30 days of you driving. After that they want you out so they can put a new driver in.

Cons

For the first month they ran me to death at .26 a mile. After that I spent 2 to 4 days a week sitting in truck stops because the didn't have any loads. I begged for home time and they always routed me away from home or stuck me states away sitting. Finally I pushed the home time issue and they fired me sitting in Baltimore and told me to get home the best way I could. Oh and they charged me for abandoning the truck when they ran me out of fuel and cut my fuel card off.
