Uz trans inc-maryland heights mo

I started with this company on the 17th(Tuesday) just got done with orientation and I'm waiting to make my first delivery in the morning. I am VERY impressed by how I've been treated, by EVERYONE in the office, very nice people.
the owner used to be a truck driver and started this company back in 09 and it's at 50 trucks I believe. I got a 2010 international with a 2015 utility reefer brand new. I'll be getting a new truck aswell after I prove myself and they see how I run. My dispatcher is very nice and asked me if there was anywhere I didn't want to go, I told her NOPE JUST GIMME MILES! She told me that it wouldn't be a problem aslong as I manage my time right(which is no problem) I will stay running. After I get unloaded I'm getting set up for a 1800 mile trip. I have to say, just by how helpful and nice everybody has been, there is no regret in leaving my old company to come here. The lease purchase is also like one I've never seen before, I will be doing that after I am here 6-8 months. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask! I will post updates on here regularly.

 

Got emptied at mason OH, got a load right away picking up in leesburg OH, going to San Marcos, TX.
1300 miles, and it delivers Monday, so I have a nice trip for the weekend. My dispatcher is awesome, 150% different in every way from my last company, so far I'm more than happy here.

 

Got to San Marcos early so I'm going to try and deliver in the morning. The weekend dispatcher is awesome! A breath of fresh air from Roehl. And the nightmares of the weekend dispatch there!

 

FINNALY got unloaded here at San Marcos, thank god for detention pay.
Off to San Antonio, tx to be loaded in the AM then off to Nashville.

 

Yes, I can't ever remember where the owner is from, but they are all nice people, and my dispatcher is great! It's night and day difference here then at Roehl. The equipment is awesome, all brand new trailers and they just got in 5 new internationals (I'll be getting one after they're ready)
I did see the green Volvo while I was there, I didn't meet the driver though. The few drivers I have met seem to have good things to say. They do require 2 years exp, and a clean driving record.

im very happy here so far, my dispatcher is running me like CRAZY. And so far all my trips have been long with just enough time to get it there which is awesome, keeps the wheels movin!
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, or you could call the office.
Oh and hometime if you live in the St. Louis area can be every night or out 2 weeks home 2-3 days. I live in Florida and was talking to a driver that lives in GA and has never had a problem getting home.
there lease program looks VERY interesting aswell. And once I'm comfortable here I'll be making that move, it's like one I've never seen before from any company.

 

Roehl was a good place to start, but I couldn't put up with the pullin me around, small 200+ mile trips and your right, no detention pay and if they do, I never saw any for all the hours I've sat they probably owe me a house! Lol. The company I'm with is primarily reefer with some dry van. I'm on the reefer side, and as you know hauling food you go to a lot of grocery warehouses and they aren't very quick. So far it hasn't been bad, at all. Not like I was expecting, most of the places I've been to so far are pretty small and you get a door right away and loaded/unloaded quickly. This morning it took 25 min in and out. I picked up in San Antonio and I have to be in Memphis by 7am. So far I'm pleased with the trips. And I like hauling reefer, I've got 40k of Taco Bell meat!
