I was in Norton, Massachusetts. At ap exhaust technology. I was headed towards Henderson nc

Tappan Zee for sure.

Depending on where in Mass you'll be coming from and where down south you'll be going, you'll take 287 over the Tappan Zee, continue down to 78west, take that over to Harrisburg, PA and pick up 81south, run that all the way down to 77south, that'll bring you through Charlotte and into Columbia, SC where you'll pick up 26east, and that'll bring you back over to 95 for points south.

Adds 65 miles to the trip, but saves tons of time and headache rolling through NYC, balt, philly, DC, etc.

There are several options if you wanted to cut over to 95 sooner, like for Richmond or wherever.

Hey pray all is well. I drive from Massachusetts alot. When I'm going down south it wants me to go I 95 and go thru ny and take the gw bridge. Just wanna see if yall know any alternatives and suggestions.

What's going on guys. Its been a while. Well I graduated and have been upgraded to a solo driver. I have been out on the road solo going into my 4th week. It has definitely been fun and different. I have been having my learning curves, but its all been dope. The hardest day so far was when I locked my keys in the truck lol. If u wanna hear the story lemme know. Everything else has been fun tho. I learned always add a extra hour for Massachusetts traffic and definitely 2 if u driving thru NY.

Hey guys not to long ago I said I was thinking about western Express. Well things changed and I went with cargo transporters. Just did my first week with the trainer and he was cool. Started off with sum small va back to shelby, nc. Wed we was off to Massachusetts. We teamed up for Thursday and today. I drove from Massachusetts all the way to va and the experience was fun and I enjoyed it. It was a great week and looking forward to what Sunday is gonna bring us.

I decided to give western Express a try.

Hello Jamere!

I got my foot in the door of this career when Western Express gave me a shot at proving myself to them. To be honest that's how you have to approach getting started in this career. You're not "giving them a try" - they are giving you a try. These large trucking companies really know what they're doing. Don't let the lousy internet reviews fool you.

We all are given a chance to shine when they invite us to orientation. They give us the opportunity to show we can perform at the highest levels in a job that requires heroic efforts. Very few people who make that attempt are prepared for what lies ahead. Brett often says it's an extraordinary job for extraordinary people, and that right there is some "real talk."

I did well at Western Express, and they've got plenty of other drivers doing well also. Always remember that this is a performance based business. It's a lot like sports. The people who work hard and demonstrate the peculiar talents that set them apart from the others on the field are the ones who go on to be successful.

Focus on how to improve your results. Don't worry about stuff you don't really understand about how they run the company. You're responsible for how you run your truck. The results you get are your own measure of how you are doing. As long as you keep improving, they will keep you moving. That's how the game is played. Good luck my friend, and jump in here if you're struggling. We will be glad to help ya!

Don't forget to read this. It will help you understand the basics for how to improve your results.

What It Takes To Be A Top Tier Driver

thank you so much for this believe me I'm in it for the good days the rough days and the tiresome days I know its gonna pay off in the long run. I appreciate you and your words of wisdom.

Definitely will thank you

Hi JaMere,

Speaking on being out making money, Old School is a top performer here and may chime in once he gets a breather. From many of his previous posts, he was very successful and enjoyed his time there. Search his name out up above and you can read up on several other folks asking about western express and his replies.

Hey everyone, it's been a minute since I been on here. I took care of some problems at home and I decided I want to go bk on the road. I decided to give western Express a try. I believe western express or any company honestly can be a make it or break it place. I always see negative negative but u never see positive half the time wont see positive cause they out making money. So I just wanna hear from ppl who either had experience or maybe still with the company. Would love for hear encouraging words.

Might consider McElroy if you’re in Mississippi. Good company and home every weekend.

I'm in VA, but i'm just trying to get information on these companies from ppl that have drove from them and how they feel about them

Wassup folks, I been looking at companies that i can grow with long-term. I been looking at Roehl, Prime, Western express, total transportation of Mississippi, and Jrayl. If you know anything about the companies or if you have any suggestions im all ear's
