Destination Unknown

I would recommend the company. It's a laid back place. Make sure to get on a dedicated account. US Xpress added solo drivers to Ceva dedicated. It probably has a weekly guarantee like they have for teams.

 

Just an FYI to all the USX drivers out here. We got some interesting information today from payroll that we thought you should know about.

Whenever you have an empty move that you are dispatched under and you don't have any bills with it you are supposed to have your trip cover sheet followed by a blank sheet of paper with the barcode sticker on it.

This triggers document retrieval and allows you to get paid on it with no issues. Apparently anytime you send in an empty move with just the cover sheet it's a crapshoot on whether you will get paid for it. We've never had a problem in two years until last week and this week so I guess our luck ran out haha.

If you do get paid on an empty move without the blank barcode sheet it is only because one of the payroll employees happened to catch it and make sure it was paid out. The lady in payroll says this is a common issue and that many times it's not caught which means you end up on the phone to payroll wasting your time.

Empty Move = Trip Cover Sheet + Blank Sheet with Barcode Sticker

 

We have some big news. Wife and I no longer are doing the Ceva dedicated account. Three weeks ago we got an offer to do an account that gets us home two FULL days at home. Could not resist to be home weekly.

We'll miss doing Ceva since it sent us all over the country but after almost two years we want to be home more to enjoy the money we're making. LOL

 

Wanted to fill in everyone about the newest update from US Xpress. They changed their driver referral program.

Here is the new bonus:

Teams - $3,000

Solo - $1,000

CDL Students - $250

Get the details at the website the company set up:

www.usxreferralprogram.com

Drivers who refer people get their bonus once the driver they referred deliver their first load. Its a pretty sweet deal ! Plus, for the drivers joining the company there is often a sign on bonus, a bonus for getting on a dedicated account and for recent CDL students tuition reimbursement.

So for those of you who plan on joining US Xpress, hook up your favorite driver with FREE money !

 

If only then I'd get to #### in my own toilet and shower every night.
