    I'm proud of you, your a good man. I have 15 yrs experience. Paid my dues. Work 4 days a week for a private fleet home Fri-Sunday. Make 100k and have a life. Stay closer to home and enjoy your family. That's what counts.

    Good job Glenn, I did OTR as long as I could mentally stand it. I haul fuel for Circle K now home daily and I love it. In Trucking there’s no right or wrong pathway you just gotta find what you enjoy.

    You’re 100% right on the overweight issue. Remember one time they had me pick up a load that was sitting for a few days without being picked up. After driving 80 miles to the nearest scale, 39k on the drives and no way to balance it out. Shipper claimed it’s the first time it has ever happened to them and Western claimed they knew nothing, yeah ok.

    Good positive video. It’s hard being a OTR driver for any company. Glad you made it 6 months at WEXP. It really takes a Strong mindset to keep going at a basic company. I’m A Flatbed driver at WEXP. I have been here going on 2 years. It’s been a war but the battle is won. I have 1 more year before I’m done with my lease purchase, then I’m going to lease on to a different company. But yeah, WEXP is just a company that will get your feet wet and get you your experience. Good luck to you Glenn on your future journey 🙌

    It's all my fault.

    Damn! So what happens if overweight and driver returns to shipper to lighten load? Would WE fire or punish that driver with fewer loads/miles going forward? Not in trade, but seems driver has most to lose getting caught overweight, not employer.

    The OTR lifestyle is not for most people. At one time, it was a bit better, but with all the regulations, the unhealthy food, and what most OTR jobs ask of a trucker only isolate you and then it tears a body down over a period of time. That's why as time passes most who stay look for a situation that gives one more home time! Wild Beard sold his truck recently. Glenn, I don't say much. I listen a lot, but if it's critical to speak up I'll talk! All my friends got jobs that offer time to themselves. I'm glad I got the experience from a time when there wasn't so many comforts. But the trucks weren't governed back to the point that not only hardly gave enough for self-care, but hardly enough time to bump the dock or drop a trailer! It's just so much that goes on in this industry that's not trucker friendly. Wild Beard posted so much that his vlogs showed up after I began to look at trucker YT channels. OTR Bandit's still running. He owns his truck and trailer; he's an 18 year veteran out of Missouri (Wild Beard's out of K.C, I believe.) Bandit deals strictly with brokers, and he stays away from the East Coast, and no California. He points that truck toward the house! Consistent home time's very important to him as well as the money. It's rough starting out; you must have a plan, and stick to it! Glenn, your experience will help, and already has, along with the awesome guys I've mentioned in my reply. I've learned myself and I want to see this work out for you. Stay safe🙏🏿 All the best, ~ "Smurfette."❤

    Hey Glenn. I want you to try to interpret Leviticus ch. 25-27. It's about how systems corrupt over time and it's been going on since ancient Babylon. Hammurabi's code is the first mention a debt jubilee. I study system dynamics how empires rise and fall and I love what you do. I was a truck driver for many years and one day I was told I was no longer needed. I lost everything. It's been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Leviticus ch25-27, the year of the jubilee. KJV preferably..

      Western Express is a piece of shit company that doesn't care about their drivers. He made the right choice. Key word being choice. He didn't get fired, so for you to say he couldn't make it work is a bad statement. They chose not to take care of him along with many of their other drivers.
