any comment's on Westar Trans out of WF. Texas
Flatbed, company driver only now. They fired all their owner operators with 24 hours or less notice. Personally that was enough to make us shy of it.
They require a minimum of 2 years experience is what my husband was told, although I hear that sometimes they work around that for the right person.
Westar is a flatbed company. They run late model Petes, KWs, and Volvo. They mainly run southwest, midwest. Their drivers get home on a weekly basis. Pretty good benefits.
I've been driving for them since the first of the year and have no problems with them whatsoever. Very driver oriented, I have been home every weekend and usually sleep at home at least one night each week (live in WF) Good equipment and they maintain it well.
Late June we have a LARGE contract in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, they claim we will go for 2 - 3 weeks at a time and make $1500 - $1800 a week while there. Should be 35 - 40 trucks at at time on this project, this in addition to what we already are running should give everyone a chance to make some good $$$ over the next year, especially during the slow time this winter.
