Well Simon, that seems like a no-brainer to me. You already have a job at Western Express. Just switch over to their flatbed division and give it a go. That's what I would do.

If you switch companies just to try flatbed and then decide you don't like it, you'll be looking for another company yet again. You're way better off sticking where you are for now.

What is it that makes you want to leave? I think you know I worked there. I can honestly say I never heard one of their drivers have anything positive to say about the company. That alone is enough to discourage anybody. I always sat and thought about my actual experiences with the company and they were almost always positive.

Don't allow the Terminal Rats to determine what your opinions are. You've made it for one year. You've had to have some good experiences with them. Think about what I'm saying. It hasn't been torture, and you could go somewhere else and have to start all over establishing a track record with a new dispatcher. That's going to cut into the money you are making.

I never advise leaving a trucking job for a slight increase in your CPM. You've got to have a better incentive than that. Learn to look at the big picture.

I was not let go from Western Express...I quit Western because the trainer said I wasn't ready for the road when she was driving unsafe around curves...I did take a road test an past it... They wasn't worried about being a safe dry van company..

Big Scott...if I’m correct it was US Express and he was dismissed for the accident. I’m pretty sure this is the same Simon.

Looking at his bio he was let go from the 2nd company he worked for in his 4 months of driving. It appears me started at us Xpress, and let go from western express. Simon N, what was the nature of the accident that caused you to be let go. Seems odd you'd be let go for a single accident your rookie year, many of the large companies expect it to happen your 1st year. It also says you loved it at US, so why'd you leave after such a short time? I feel like your not being completely honest. Its hard to offer the help you're seeking if we don't have all the information.
