    Looking at OTR with USXpress at least until a dedicated opens. My wife and I have all endorsements. What kind of miles can we expect? Where do you haul to? Where does the company not goe? Is the mileage bonus realistic? How does layover/ detention pay work? What are you hauling? Who are the customers? Small mom and pop places or big company's with good size docks? How is your home time? Currently we like to run 6 weeks then take a week off. Thanks.

    1. Expect 4,500 to 6,000 miles a week. You can do more than 6,000 miles but that means skipping showering, eating a good meal, etc.

    2. We haul to anywhere and everywhere

    3. Mileage bonus in my opinion is unrealistic

    4. Layover pay varies by terminal. Detention pay, USX will make you jump through hoops to get it.

    5. Company hauls anything

    6. USX is one of the biggest trucking companies in the country. It has customers big and small.

    7. One day off for every week out. If you want extra days then you'll have to get with your FM(Fleet Manager) to get extra days approved.

    Usx has its fair share of b.s., but a good week teaming there will probably give you what you made in 2 or 3 weeks at WS.
