It would be kinda hard for you to end up with Him as a trainer since He just stated above and in other posts that He no longer drives for USA and you are going to USA.

Now it only Ohio that E-z pass will not pay, I been on All but Ohio and it will start in Ohio sometime this year (2009). Not been to Florida so no problem there.

Always gotten home when asked the day I asked for. Even been by the house several other times, when I am not stuck up north in the cold. But seems if it is snowing somewhere, there where I am going.

I been with USA since Oct, and only 3 weeks I had gotten less than 2000 miles, and 2 of them were when I went home. They been good to me, but no company perfect, they do have their faults like the rest of them. It all in how your able to handle your self, and others. No I am not getting rich, but I am able to meet my goal I set out to do.

Agree on that... LOL Winter patrol in Alaska, and go on a search and rescue mission, and they set the Boat Lowering detail hours before arriving on station.

Not sure about Kansas, but I have been on the toll road in Indiana. I read on the Ez-Pass website Ohio will be online Fall 2009. Florida Turnpike is not allowed though.

Bug USA Truck is a Sorry Company to Drive For!
You better read the fine print in USA Truck contract that you sign! USA Truck takes $25.00 a week from your paycheck and places this amount into an escrow account up to a amount of close to $600.00. These funds are kept in an escrow account encase you dump the truck and they have to recover the truck and to cover orientation fees. If you quit before 6 months time period. You still owe USA Truck the entire amount. Example, you have $300.00 in escrow and you quit, you still owe USA Truck $300.00. Been there done that. USA Truck is a Student Driver Mill. I have more to follow on my experience with USA Truck.

USA Truck is a Poor Company to Drive For!
Following up on how USA Truck is a Sorry Company to drive for. Their road side service dept is pathetic to say the least when your sitting on the side of the road broke down.try calling them on the phone and you better have lots and lots of time to sit on hold! I have experiences where i was told to take my truck to so and so truck repair center and have a problem fixed. Once I got there and had the problem fixed the owner of the repair center would need a p.o for the repair. Guess what? this involved the owner trying to get through to USA Truck on the phone and being on eternal hold. The owner doesn't have time to wait and wait and here i am on my quallcom at the same time trying to tell my dispatcher hey bubba I need a p.o. # fast so i can get rolling to make delivery on time. More to come...
