Western Express (officially Western Express, Inc.) is an American logistics company based in Nashville, Tennessee. It is a privately owned company founded in 1991.[1]

The company has grown and has over 2000 trucks and 6000 trailers.[1] Most company trucks are the Freightliner Cascadia or International LT models.

In 2014, the company sued the truck stop Pilot Flying J regarding the truck stop's handling of fuel rebates for Western Express, while several other companies also had their lawsuits against the truck stop. [2]

In 2019, the company began expanding by creating headquarters jobs and hiring drivers, an $88 million investment over five years. Western Express hired 350 drivers each year of the five-year plan as part of this plan. [3]

In 2020 the Nashville terminal was extensively damaged in the 2020 Nashville tornado outbreak.[4]

Western Express is the largest woman-owned truckload carrier in America.[5] As of 2018 it was a top-25 carrier in America based on revenue.[6]
