I just checked Maverick where I am going for orientation on Saturday,

What in the world is ISS-D?

Inspection Selection System (ISS-D) Recommendation*
(As of January 22, 2010) Carrier Name: U S XPRESS INC
US DOT #: 303024 MC #: 188121 ISS Inspection Value: 67 ISS Recommendation: OPTIONAL Basis for Recommendation: Safety New Entrant carriers may be selected for inspections at anytime. * The ISS-D monthly run evaluates carriers' recent inspections activity. The ISS results are generated along with SafeStat on a monthly basis and are posted on A&I Online.
The Inspection Selection System (ISS-D)

The Inspection Selection System (ISS-D) is a decision-aid for commercial vehicle roadside driver/vehicle safety inspections, which guides safety inspectors in selecting vehicles for inspection.
ISS Inspection Value: The ISS Inspection Value is based on the motor carrier's safety performance data. In the case when there is sufficient motor carrier safety performance data available, the value is assigned from information derived from SafeStat results, which reviews safety performance in areas of crash history, inspection history, driver history, and safety management experience. When a motor carrier has little information on file, the ISS Inspection Value is based on an 'Insufficient Data Algorithm', which determines the inspection value by weighting the carrier size and the number of past inspections. Refer to the Inspection Selection System description, for an explanation of the value's calculation.
ISS Recommendation: The ISS Inspection Value forms the basis for the ISS recommendation. The recommendation ranges from 'Inspect', for motor carriers with poor safety performance in one or more Safety Evaluation Areas (SEAs) and for carriers with little or no safety data, to 'Pass' for carriers with good safety performance data. The three recommendations listed are below.

Recommendation ISS Inspection Value Inspect (inspection warranted) 75-100 Optional (may be worth a look) 50-74 Pass (no inspection required) 1-49
Basis for Recommendation: The Basis for Recommendation describes the method that was used to calculate the ISS Inspection Value. There are two methods for calculating an ISS inspection value:

• The "Safety" method assigns this recommendation based on SafeStat results, which applies to carriers with sufficient safety performance data.
• The "Insufficient Data" method is based on an 'Insufficient Data Algorithm', which applies to carriers that have little or no safety performance data available.

If those are your two choices, then SNI. Probably not a bad company to start out with if they are hiring newbees.

 

I don't know anything about SNI but, having worked at USX for the past 2.5 years, I would have to recommend SNI anyway.

 

We drive team so this isn't personal experience, but I know the last few months we were at USX the solo drivers were mostly depressed because they weren't getting any miles. Then again... who has been the past few months?

 

JimtheHut. I just got moved up tp March 7 at Stevens. Good Luck to you!

 

What has your experience with USX been like?
They were the other company that I was considering before Maverick.

 

That is great news! There is a big snow storm going to hit here Friday and Saturday to make sure that I have fun when I leave...lol
