When they hit the DA Office, or could been the lawyers Office they also threw a pipe bomb in the school. A teacher was on the jury that convicted the bomber in another crime.

They basically hire east of I35, so yes you are out of their area. The one they sent home was 25 miles outside of their hiring area out side of Laredo TX.

USA Truck sponsored my schooling and I put in my first year with them. Like any company, if you are willing to work they are willing to work you. My advice is to not delay on getting your truck's PM's done on time and be willing to take a short run without a lot of complaints. It usually leads to a good long run right after. Allow yourself to be comfortable in a slower truck and remember that they normally give you the time to make your delivery in that 63 mph truck. I enjoyed my time with them and if I needed to run solo again I would consider going back to them.
