One of my ex-students called me the other day saying that any, and all Florida living drivers are being required to team up with another Florida driver, or be laid off/fired. He refuses to team up with anyone, and no longer works for USX. He said that USX is only hiring out of Florida if you are a team operation.
I find this kinda disturbing cause its already hard for Florida drivers to get on with a decent company, and this makes it worse.
Any other Florida based drivers had this problem?

Why do you say that? I have an offer from them as a solo driver.

Maybe that is just out of Florida. Springfield, Ohio is currently taking solo drivers.

Oh because they get you in there than they want yuo to lease a trk or if they let you solol it won't be for log before they want you to team up with some one. have you seen the you tube clip on truck crash on donnar passif not check it out and tell me how you are going to go to sleep behind someone that you hardly know. that putting your life in their hands.
