Western Express Trucking Contract

In those 6 months how many loads have you declined? How often have you complained to them about everything? I ask because my first 6 months at Swift were all trials and tribulations. Companies aren’t dumb. They tend to start you in the kiddie pool before they toss you in the olympic pool with Michael Phelps. At Swift(insert big bad wolf emoji) I get 2000 miles pretty easily

Hair Follicle VS. Urine

Don’t go until you’re sure you are clean. I know of a few ppl who somehow did some hocus pocus and got a clean test. I know of plenty more who seemed “shocked” that the test found x or y in their system.

Had A Minor Backing Accident

How minor is minor? I only ask because many ppl come on here slamming their dispatcher and proclaiming minor accidents. After a little digging it comes out that they drove through a McDonalds

29cpm to 57cpm in 5 month rookie driver

Pegasus is a subdivision of CRST. They do solo and team. I'm running team with my co driver from CRST. It's pharma loads mostly.

Did you already have another driver or did the company pair you?

Are these businesses worried about competition? I’d love to here the opinions of businesses wiped out by the truck stops.

Backing a semi

Discouraged? Bah humbug. I left my walmart job of 11 years in May 2008. Went to Prime and went home without testing. Thought life was over. Went to Roehl in October of 2008. Passed test but couldn’t do the practical driving. Thought life was over again. Finally came to swift where i have a year under my belt. You’ll be ok
