    I have prehires from both. I would like to see current information from drivers of both companies. Are teams at US getting the miles as I would be required to team? Are solos at Swift averaging 2K miles; if not whats the average miles for solos and teams? What are their health insurance plans like? Are the fm's pleasant to deal with?Staying out for a long is not an issue for me as I do not have a family nor have s/o or kids. For the time I am home, I have a place to park it. thanks for information associated with these two companies.

    you have got to be kidding me.

    if us express has trucks that are governed at 65mph, that would be the ONLY difference.

    Almost forgot to mention, since i was kind of shocked that you were asking which one of THESE two is better..

    I have a friend who works for us xpress and she complains that they are not getting very many miles. like barely more than i can run solo...

    Of the two Swift. I worked for them for a yr, and had little problems.. When I went back north or a funeral, they let me keep my truck and trailer at home, no questions asked...

    Way to funny. I can say teaming does suck. I did it while training, well felt like I was teaming. I slept while he drove and he slept while I drove. I can say Teaming does suck and I will never do teaming.
