Before You Arrive:

• Send in paperwork: To make the process as smooth as possible for yourself, we suggest that you send in your physical paperwork before arrival.
• Fill out the online application: If you have not, you can do that now by clicking Apply. If you do not have a completed application on file, you must have 10 years of history, on paper and in-hand, upon arrival the first day.
• Background check authorization: We try very hard to have all background checks completed prior to orientation. To do that, we must have a completed verification release authorizing us to perform pre-employment inquiries. You may complete this form online now. The sooner we get this information, the sooner we can complete our pre-employment screening to get you on your way to a career with Western Express.
• Student transcripts: If you are a student or recent grad, please fax or email school certificates/transcripts prior to arrival if possible. If you can’t send the documents prior to arrival, you must bring school certificates and grade/transcripts and present them upon arrival at orientation classes.

• Social Security Card. If you’re not a U.S. citizen, then you will also need your work card/permanent resident card.
