Yeah when I started at TTR (about same time I started USA) you were one of the regular posters on here. Along with Bubbavirus, Klatu, Green Machine, Good Choice, Exrayman, and a few others. Its good to see you trolling again lol!
As to your points, I think the whole mentality of dispatch has changed. My FM actually calls me if I've been at a customer longer than about 1.5-2 hours of my appt and asks whether or not I'm empty yet and how long I think it will take. She got a little buggy one day about it so I asked what the deal was. She said the Group Mgrs actually are monitoring idle drivers and put pressure on the FM's to get them moving. I used to occasionally enjoy sleeping in once in awhile when I knew I had a window but even now I'm afraid to because I've gotten calls from her asking why I'm not up and moving yet. Even when I had plenty of time cushion. I think the whole ethic is changing up there in operations. Not going to say this is the best large carrier out there but I think they are moving in at least the right direction finally.

the more i read about USA the more i want to try and get in here will have to call the # of the recruiter tomarow and see if i can get in
i did have a cdl but due to family reasons i had to stop for ahwile had 6 months otr with Aarow. i have been doing a ton of research on company's this time around hoping to find the best suit for me. this has been one of the few that seem to have alot of good things to say about there company and not many negatives heck if at all as i havent seen any yet at least not valid ones IMO. of the other companys i have applied to havent gotten in touch with me besides crst and we all know what there about. hope to make a thread about me starting at usa soon xxing fingers -
I stayed & learned with One company 2 years. BUDDY that's Gold. Most drivers don't have that. Trucking people you want to drive for see that before almost anything. Your on the way up.
mje Thanks this. -
well USA just went out the window since im not in there hiring area.
in Arizona Btw never saw the HIRING AREA on there website nor did it state so when i filled out the app. It should have stopped me when i put in the state IMO
I figured they did hire out of this area since they had a yard down here last year -
They closed the Phoenix yard a month or two ago.

I stay with USA truck because they deadhead me 500 miles, tell me to hurry. I get there and the loads not ready and they product has not even been made yet. Nice miles to do nothing.
Thomas0810 Thanks this. -

So far...... The free fuel is really nice??????????? LOL
I did ask for an emergency repair today and from the initial phone call to pulling in the garage had only 55 minutes elapse.
I have had a handful of mishaps in my short tenure but USA has always stepped up and and got me in a safe location quickly, adjusted to accommodate me in short time, or rapidly righted any legitimate wrong. I have worked for two Fortune 200 companies and never received the quality help given me by USA. That is 100% truth there.Thomas0810, RetiredSarge, kiwi23 and 1 other person Thank this. -
This is a good thread. Great to read something positive once in a while.
kiwi23 Thanks this.
