Called about the ad in the paper. Hired over the phone, pending background check and drug test. 4 days later went to orientation in Nashville, Tn. Orientation lasted for 2 days. Western paid for the hotel expense, provided shuttle transportation to and from + one meal per day. Stayed in the hotel for the following 16 days, paid for by Western, waiting on another driver to quit so I could get his/her truck as there were no trucks available. The recruiter was nice but aggressive about me waiting around until I was issued a truck. The entire office was focused only on getting new drivers hired so they could wait on existing drivers to quit so they have a pool of unemployed, homeless wouldbe drivers in waiting to replace drivers who are quitting. Most drivers are disgrundled for a variety of reason from poor insurance, to poor home time to low pay and having to work with homeless truck drivers.
