Pros

Western will keep you busy driving most of the time ,they do there best weather it's getting you home or solving problems , my experience with Driver Managment has been very good, overall they promote making a better driver ,in the long run patience will be it's own reward. Opportunity Knocks.

Cons

Sometimes the pay is not as good as I would like ,but that could be from breakdown or a class or home time all I can say is the pay I agreed to is what I get

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.
