Tre, I send my love , respect and blessings to you. Im out here in Cali. I start with Western tomorrow for orientation. I see you started your UA-cam channel and your documenting your whole trucking journey. Thats awesome bro. Keep God with you at all times. Talk to him when your out there on the road and your words will start being manifested into reality. I wanna see you win bro bro !! Im thinking of starting my channel aswell. Documenting my trucking journey mixed in with what i went through in my past and where im at today. I wanted to ask you, are you filming with your phone ? Its very clear, awesome quality and I can hear you perfectly. I have a new Android Galaxy phone. Im thinking of using this just to get the ball rolling !!
Hey, I saw a western express flatbed tarp laying on the side of I 94 in Indiana between mile marker 38 and 39 going westbound right near the shoulder. You can’t miss it at about 4:30 PM Eastern time on December 20, 2023 Maybe it fell off somebody’s trailer I don’t know but I’m pretty sure it was a western flatbed tarp. It had the white and black pattern looked kind of wore out though it might not be worth going to look for it.
I took a 160-hour course, have my class A and all endorsements. Will I have to go three weeks of training or can I get away with less? Love the positive attitude. Keep the faith, and keep fighting for your dreams.
I suppose to start January 3rd but i got to decide i got a offer from A local company hauling milk and home daily so if i come may see around stay safe out there
Ayy big dawg I fuck with the vlogs. I finished my training November 3, but I only got a call for a truck on December 11. I went to the terminal and my truck needed work. They had me sitting at the hotel in Richmond for a week lmao. But I went home for the weekend. Good luck boss, just hunker down for the wait, cause you gonna be waiting a min.
Def gonna have to wait a solid min brother. Ain’t no getting round it. Good luck getting a hold of Scott bout anything during that time too. Communication here is lacking like a mf
I had my cdl before but they do have the cdl program but you’ll be in a contract with them to pay them back. & no we only have to do a driving test during the orientation before you actually get hired.
@@TruckingwithTre thank u another UA-cam said hair idk what state his in and I was just curious about how much hair they take (I am drug free) 😭 my hair is me but thank you I applied last night I already have my Cdl and looking for a otr company thank you ☺️
My trainer was LP. He was putting me on game and said the best thing to do with LP is keep a trainee so that your truck will keep rolling. It’ll be hard to make money and pay truck bills just solo
@@TruckingwithTre Thanks, I heard someone mention that before. If that's actual policy, and not just a trainer taking advantage of a situation, that's a deal breaker for me.
Keep hearing stories bout western im a new cdl driver thinking abiut joining just because you need hours behind the wheel before getting any other driving job. all i wanna ask is , is it really worth it? Or is there another company thatll hire you without experience
I say if you having a clean driving record and no felonies go to a better company. Western is dang near a second chance company. I haven’t had any complaints so far during training. I still haven’t started solo I’m waiting on a truck at the moment.

You should be able to do less time. It’s also at the trainers discretion. If they feel your ready they’ll let them know and get you in a truck asap

Yea I got 160 hrs from the school I went to im headed to Tennessee for flatbed may 6 my choice due to the fact im tryna stay in shape im gone be OTR

That pilot in Atlanta definitely packed and hood lol only pilot a been too where drivers was walking pit bulls 😂😂😂😂
So did you have to do a test on your backing before you went with your trainer?
No. The first day of orientation they have you ride around the city to make sure you can do the basics. You’ll practice backing with your trainer
Do a truck tour
I’ll make a video for sure when they get me a truck.

@@TruckingwithTreRough -Azz company.

Best of luck to you! I hope everything runs smooth for you.
Do they have u doing any written test and working with maps?
Yes they give you videos and mini quizzes on the tablet the first day but they give you the answers.
Do you have to have a CDL before applying to Western Express? Also, do you have to do a pre- trip an air brakes test out before finishing training
I had my cdl before but they do have the cdl program but you’ll be in a contract with them to pay them back. & no we only have to do a driving test during the orientation before you actually get hired.
Coming from SC 🎉Do they to hair follicle testing? I’m curious if so how much hair do they take?
Western doesn’t do hair follicle testing. Just urine.
@@TruckingwithTre thank u another UA-cam said hair idk what state his in and I was just curious about how much hair they take (I am drug free) 😭 my hair is me but thank you I applied last night I already have my Cdl and looking for a otr company thank you ☺️
Do they do a backing test my school only had us parallel and offset and straight back?
No
Hey bub thank you for the videos, is the LP worth it there or should I stay away? im seeing so many videos, idk what to think!
My trainer was LP. He was putting me on game and said the best thing to do with LP is keep a trainee so that your truck will keep rolling. It’ll be hard to make money and pay truck bills just solo
Oh okay, thank you I appreciate that man
Did you have to team drive with your trainer?
Yes
@@TruckingwithTre Thanks, I heard someone mention that before. If that's actual policy, and not just a trainer taking advantage of a situation, that's a deal breaker for me.
How long is orientation for experience drivers
Do they make you sign a contract?
No
So was orientation only two days i just got here
Yea for dry van. Flat bed a full week
Fa sho I just completed orientation I'm about get my driver code an fuel card
When the next video?
Still waiting on truck.
So if you already have your license it’s only 2 weeks out with a trainer?
2-4 weeks. It depends on if your trainer feel like you’re ready
If u already been drivn over a year u get yo truck n go
How much you think you gonna get a week after training
I can’t even give you an estimate fr. Depends on how many loads you get and distance
