I start orientation on 1-3-13 in Shippensburg PA with U.S. Xpress

Congrats on the career. Im hoping to go with USX after school. I just completed my app to see if i can get a pre hire and turning it monday. Im just wondering did you have to sign the paper about teaming for atleast 6 months after you upgrade to first seat driver?

 

Thanks for answering my question lol I started my own thread with that question and a ######## answered by saying "how can they make you team" truckers lol but im waiting to hear back USX before I start school but if I hear back the end of this month ima sign up and hopefully start class the end of feb at tri-c in cleveland. I seen that paper about teaming for 6 months and kinda didn't wanna finish the app but I guess teaming would help starting til I learn enough.

 

I've read that too and read some teams get 7000+ miles a week, that's a ton of driving but that don't seem real to me lol thanks for the luck ima need all I can get cause my past work history is jumpy cause I can't seem to find the right job (cause I've known all along I wanna be a trucker) and my driving record has a 15 over. Was they hard on you about your driving record and past work history?

 

i would wait until after my six months before deciding how great teaming is, lots of luck jon

 

I totally agree with this post, you should wait and see how it goes, give experience a chance to show you what is really involved in teaming or even just being a solo driver trying and learning how to manage your time and life in a truck.

 

You need to figure out if you can even sleep in a moving truck before you commit to being a team driver. Bouncy bouncy....

 

Good luck with US Express. Let us know how it go's for you.
