I'm just finishing my training and have offers from Werner and US Express. Any advice on which way to go? Not my offers because I'm only 21. Any advice is welcome

Good luck. -
Werner you won't make enough to keep s bird alive.Heard USX is a good company.

the last thing you ever want to do is up and quit, under a load. so for newbies, "do your time" gracefully and move on, or stay with them.
Best of luck to you.Shaggy, GiddionKane, Vilhiem and 1 other person Thank this. -
Thanks for your opinions guys it really helps! At the moment im leaning towards U.S xpress. Are there any complains out there you guys would recommend going to after I get a year or 2 experience?
Chinatown Thanks this. -

I'm really hoping I can find a company were there isn't much downtime and where they will always have a load ready for you. The way it seems tho that's hard to find
-
USX in my area has a ton of dedicated accounts. Maybe after you get trained you could work your way into one of those deals.
The first year is always the hardest. Tough it out and then work your way up.
Good luck! -
I'm thinking about us xpress as well let me know how it goes.

I've decided to go with U.S Xpress Dollar General account. It is a very physical job. Its 100% hand unload. I get 2 days off a week no matter what. I can not complain to much my biggest problem is getting in and around the very tight areas you have to get into too unload. Some of the stores are very easy to unload at and others are no so easy. So far I have not brought home less than 900$ a week. I have aload 95% of the time for the next day depending how far out I am from the DG DC which is in Marion, IN. Like I said very physical job unloading wise but im young im in fairly good shape doing this definitely gets you into shape. Im being treated very well and all im going is just trying my best and wanting loads and just staying ahead and doing that you will get along just fine with your FM.
dannythetrucker Thanks this.
