    Trust me, this isn't going to help you with MT hunts even a tiny bit. Those new trailers will probably be less than 20% of the fleet, and your dispatcher will not be utilizing the trackers for an MT hunt. Consider it anti theft only.

    US Xpress allows one pet but since day one we brought both of our dogs. A Pomeranian and a Long Haired Dachshund. In the 2 years we've been here we never had an issue. Just don't let anyone see your cuties but we've learned most people are animal lovers and aren't going to snitch if they do. Never even paid the pet fee. Hope this answers anyone's question about bringing your pet with you.

    Word on the street is that US Xpress is going to be bringing back Volvo 780s. If anyone has seen them let me know.

    Do you have to stay out so many days/weeks to be on the CEVA dedicated account?

    When you get hired on with US Xpress make sure you go onto this website to set-up getting your W-2 electronically.

    http://w2express.com/

    Select US Xpress from the list of companies (it's a long list) then put in your social security number. Once your logged in set it up for next year to get it electronically. That way you can do your taxes sooner rather than waiting for your W-2 to arrive by mail.

    For the most part they are. The Markham shop tells me the auto Cascadias are very reliable.

    Deerhunter, how are you and your wife doing ?

    We are doing good we have our cdl a permits and dot physicals done going to start studying for our haz-mat endorsement starting this week so we have that endorsement before we start school, we are tenantively scheduled to start school June 1st-Jul 2nd..
    Was hoping they usx was picking up some manual trannys, it is the only thing keeping us from going with usx .. so we will probably start with con-way truckload at least for the first yr as they will give us the option of having a manual tranny to learn on which is a very very important thing in my book to learn on as newbies,then the auto tranny would be fine but we first need to learn to shift for ourselves so we can drive most anything and be more valuable and able to go to work anywhere..

    I hope all is going well and you like you new account where you are home more... Enjoy thx for the info I will check in time to time and see how you and your wife are doing .. good luck stay safe..
