Driver Orientation
The road to success starts here
Orientation gives us a great opportunity to welcome you to the opportunities of driving at Western Express and to ensure everyone’s safety. All new Western Express drivers are required to attend. Orientation for Van drivers is 2 days, and orientation for Flatbed drivers is 2 days, plus 3 days of load securement training.
During orientation, you will learn about our safety and operational procedures, take a road test and complete all necessary paperwork. You will also meet someone from every department, including Safety, Operations, Fuel Compliance, Driver Payroll and more.
You’ll find it’s a great way to get acquainted with the people who’ll be helping you while you’re on the road. Plus, it’ll give you a chance to get a deeper appreciation of our unique family environment here at Western Express.
