    Starting orientation next Wednesday in Atlanta. So far the process has been very good. I have experience so I know the hold your hand then treat you like a step child situation. I've seen the bad with my last company. Stuck it for two years because I was coming out of school. Just want a decent place. Open to any constructive advice.

    What crime did you commit to receive such a harsh sentence?

    USA Truck is the trashiest company on the road. Put a couple handles on the back and hire some fellas to pick cans up off the curb and empty them in the trailer. That'd be a more productive (and profitable) use of your time.

    Boaz, I saw post about it. Researched and saw that a settlement was reached. Also, looked and saw that revenue is up. Really just looking for advice. You can't say rethink your choice(orangepicker) without giving advice if that's my request. Be a help even if you go against "it". Never know who you can help. At the end of the day we are Truckers!
