Them getting you a teammate out of Laredo shouldn't be a problem at all. We run a lot of freight in and out of there, makes it easier to get you home too!! Cant vouch for the team miles but they keep me running hard. Just have to keep your ETA/PTA updated and let your FM know about any delays as soon as possible. Im always down there so maybe we'll bump into each other one of these days.

Best of luck, Anthony. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.
-
Soooo...how's it going? You still truckin'?
-
Iam trucking but not with us xpress I'm with schneider national and loving it here currently gonna be leaving missouri tomorrow
-
Why did you leave us xpress?
-
I never attended us xpress I picked schneider national over us xpress and I like it here getting good miles for only being a rookie getting about 2200 to 2500 a week been running alot of the Midwest area

Anthony how's your time off? Are you often in Laredo or are you usually away? My husband just got he's CDL we are doing a deep search on this companies that provide the trainings. I am sort of scared he wont be home much or worst, not being worth the pay for the amount of time he'll be away.

If someone would please explain the dedicated and OTR. I would like to know home time, milage, and do they route for you or can we route our selfs.
-
Dedicated: Service a particular customer. Go to the same locations for the most part.
OTR: You service all of the customers USX has.
Hometime: For OTR you get one day off for every week out. Dedicated depends on what they have worked out with the customer.
Milage is better on dedicated.
You can't route yourself.Puppage Thanks this.
