Agree 100% just saying how many incidents do you have again??? Just forgot lol

I’ll pass on the trainer status . That’s how more accidents happen out here because off the blind leading the blind per say.

They’re gonna start you off at 32 cents per mile you should’ve known this?? Your gonna have to run an run but flat bedders do pretty well no sliding scale after 3 months they’ll make you a trainer

Question for all of you more experienced drivers. So I’m going out to Nashville tomorrow for orientation but I’m a little skeptical on the .32cpm and how I’m going to make a living on it. Even at 3000 miles a week it’s 960 gross, which is going to be a hard pill to swallow. I guess I’m asking if there are any of you who currently work for western express who can give me tips on how to make more money or if they truly start you off at .32cpm?

Yes mam. Most of westerns freight is flatbed so I guess the bright side of it is I’ll have my flatbed endorsement.

They got back to me at night earlier and said I don’t qualify because of the two accidents. Pretty much it’s the wording from England that’s messing it up from England. But it’s okay I’ll put in my time at express and get the trust built up with these other companies. Just something I gotta do better at

Knight!

I'll chime in and third that vote! :)

After taking a break from trucking i just got hired back into Knight last month. Gotta run with a trainer for a couple weeks this month as a refresher, then I'll be back in own truck again.

Which terminal are you looking to run out of?

That's a bummer to hear about Knight, Eric. However look at Old School, for example. He STARTED at Western Express, and continued ON, to Knight. See? That door is STILL open, just a bit down the road, is all.

Do you plan on going flatbed, then?

I wish you the best; please keep us updated, good sir.

I’m not an experienced driver myself brother but your situation seems to be coming down to patience and willpower. Have you ever heard the phrase this too shall pass?. Well it is accurate and very true. We are all of us going to end up in situations in life that will test us and push us to want to throw in the towel because we’re tired of the up and down rollercoaster ride life takes us on. But life is struggle and it builds resistance and character. You got this don’t give in and don’t give up. If it were easy everyone would do it.

I'm still out here on the road hoping I can somehow improveme. I have nothing against trucking or Western Express, I just have never been so horrible at anything in my life, since I started I sucked at school and even failed my first road test for stalling a truck like an idiot at the intersection ( passed the next day), got kicked to the curb from orientation at for the company I really wanted to work for, had to wait 2 weeks for a trainer, have had 3 family emergencies since I left home, have screwed up every day since I got off my trainers truck, I can't back in to tight spots, had a co driver with serious mental problems, every day things go wrong, and my DM hates me I think all of that is a good sign i shouldn't be out here. I don't really have anything to fall back on or anywhere to go if I leave but I also don't want to take a job from someone that could actually do a good job out here and not be another moron taking up a seat.

Ya I’m going in on knight. I just left the door open just in case there’s some last minute hiccups with knight tomorrow in the am. But it does feel good to know I’ll be able to make a living without having to team. Although I do feel like a partner would be a great thing to have when I’m in a sticky situation I also believe that if I do my full time with the trainer(3-4 weeks) I’ll come out of it more ready and able to drive solo.

I do feel a little bad because western xpress did go out of there way to get me in because of my accidents but hey if someone is willing to do the same and pay more well then shiiiiddd.

That's just $.02 less than what I was making after a year coming back to Knight, Eric. That's a REALLY sweet deal to kick your party off with. I'm glad for you :)

So late development. I know I said earlier that western express got me in. But now knight hit me late with the same now. I got the conditional letter for pre employment same as western express sent me. The only thing missing from knight is the travel information which I’m sure will come early in the am. Question is should I continue with express or back out and go with knight?. Express cpm is .32 knight is .40
