I'm a new driver straight from GDA. I was out on the road 3wks with these clowns July 5-26. After getting back on that Sat I informed them I could not be back on the following Monday due to FAMILY business. While out on the road training I told them this ahead of time. Instead of theses ######## telling me that I would be fired immediately they did NOT reply...smh. Needless to say when I showed up on Wednesday thinking everything was ok they informed me I was terminated. If you have an elderly parent OR any family matters that won't allow you to RUN 2-6 months straight for US Xpress....DON'T WASTE your time! THEIR company policy is unreasonable, but I guess you can be like that when people need jobs....
US Xpress's new driver policy is UNREASONABLE

OK. So, what else happened? And did you turn in the truck? that's is standard procedure if youre going to take extended time off just about everywhere.
TruckDuo Thanks this. -
Seems to be the way of all the big companies these days. Your just a number with a bunch more in line waiting to take your place.

And they "wonder" why they have such a big turn-over. Truthfully, I probably would prefer being homeless than work for a bunch of heartless people.

You took it upon yourself to stay home until Wednesday. You told them but you did not get a response and didn't follow up. It sure is a headache sometimes but you didn't CYA so nobody to blame but you
D33RHUNT3R, hal380 and Mr. Mister Thank this. -
Wild Murphy said it perfectly. ^ The problem is a lot of drivers "Family business" is nothing more than Uncle Freds birthday party bash. And dispatch knows it.
D33RHUNT3R, hal380, Leftlane101 and 11 others Thank this. -
At the heart of the matter is the fact that you did not receive a response. Family business is not the same as FAMILY EMERGENCY. It didn't seem strange to you that you did not receive a reply of any type? Uh, no response is not the same as "ok, see ya when ya get back".
truckinmike1984, hal380 and BrenYoda883 Thank this. -
And this is shocking to you? USless express is just like the others. Did you turn your truck in?
mnmover Thanks this.
