Rider policy at Western Express is anyone with a legitimate state identification card or drivers license can ride with you provided they are at least 18 years old. There is a payroll deducted rider insurance fee of 4.00 per week. You can sign up for this at any time of the year, but if you don't have a rider and you want to cancel the payroll deduct you can only cancel it during the months of June and December.

This is fresh on my mind since I recently took one of my daughters with me on a grand adventure. If you are interested you can read all about it at this link.

Hi!! Please no negative remarks, just want a question answered. I'm new here and was wondering about the passenger policy for Western Express?? My boyfriend is going to be a lease/purchaser once he gets his training done for flatbed, which I was told was one day of training once he has had 70 hours of driving on the road, he is switching from dry van to flatbed when he gets back. After he has his training done, will I be able to go on the truck with him or is there a waiting period?? Thank you in advance ☺️

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.

Hi Cheddar Cheeze!

I am pretty sure you can jump right on the truck with him. I believe there is a 3 month waiting period for new company drivers, but lease operators can go ahead and get started with a rider.

I recommend your boyfriend bring up this question with the people working on the lease/purchase agreement. That should be simple enough.
