This Guy Is At It Again. Anyone Need A Laugh?
Topic 2141 | Page 1
Dang..Think I should go to work for 'em?
Man.. this disgruntled idiot is all over CL here in NH to , but in these he contradicts himself. Obviously has way too much time on his hands..
Ooooo. One of his threads got removed! That must have been the juicy one.
What a knucklehead!
Ya know, whenever I'm thinking or doing anything I use a filter to decide whether or not I'm on the right track. The main filter I use is the word "helpful". Is what I'm thinking or doing really helpful in a meaningful way or is it doing more harm than good? Simple filter...very effective. And if you're honest with yourself you'll find that a lot of the things you're thinking and some of the things you're doing are not really helpful.
But right now I need another cup of coffee and indeed that passes the filter. Coffee is very helpful!

Um, Brett? Not to be picky, but you totally misspelled "essential." Just sayin.
That's pretty funny, I even thought about working for these guys since they have a mid west regional position that runs out of Denver....anyone have the real story about this company?
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
A bad driver or personality is going to fail at any company . That's not just in trucking . Western Express is going to have the same reputation as most mega carriers when you read the reviews of former employees.
They have a lot of trucks and drivers and the government has not shut them down , it appears they are doing something right . Not that the minute details are a concern of most folks but they are listed as satisfactory with the CSA score . Doing your own research Im sure you can find companies with as many or more infractions .
