{"replyTo":"","text":"Because they can. They mostly hire drivers with little to no experience, or have had a few tickets. Those drivers don’t have much choice for companies. Drivers stay at Western until their record gets cleared up or get a little experience, then move on.","replyToPid":0}

647331 发表于 2019-03-28 02:56:38 I get paid 40cpm at western express. Like mentioned before it’s a place for new meat or people that need a second chance. I average at about 650 per week. That’s take home. I participate in their benefit options. I believe trainers are the drivers that actually benefit more “pay wise” it’s not as bad as people make it seem. I maybe tarp once maybe twice a week. Most are preloaded trailers.

","text":"$650 take home isn’t even worth it. Might as well work local/class b and be home every night for more. If you aren’t making $1000+ take home a week you’re just wasting your life. ","replyToPid":6326}

647331 发表于 2019-04-02 22:26:18 It would be higher if I wasn’t single or participated in their benefit options. I assume you’re an experienced driver right?

","text":"yes and if you have 6 mouths or more you need to move on. you can double your pay easy doing less work.","replyToPid":8091}
