Usa truck a joke......stayaway

wow! not good, btw I stayed at the Sprtsman RV Park in Azle when I was in the oilfield.

 

Ok so I've been with usa for six weeks now I was hired as an otr driver my biggest pay check was 430 bux wow i'm used to making over eight a week my pay check last week was 315 week before that 5 bux what a joke huh i cant support a family on this . equipment nasty I went through two 9400i in a week and second one was just as filthy as first one I dont know what to do but i got a job offer from knight but not hearing much good about them

 

Was that before or after you took out your $160 advance? Lol. The week you cleared $5, was that a hometime week?

 

yeah i was going to say i made better checks than that my first year with them even with escrow coming out insurance and schooling.i was with them for a year and half and would average 650-700 take home after everything was taken out had 3 checks if i remember correctly that were over 1000 take home during my time with them

 

alot of these "bottom feeder" companies are going to have issues. I'm with one of them myself, but truth be told even when the economy was good USA was bad news

 

Well, I got out of orientation last Thursday and I have yet to pull a load. My truck was a mess, I'm in Vandalia in a hotel while they fix it. Ran into another guy from my orientation today, he's only getting on a truck today after 5 days in a hotel, trying to be optimistic, but I don't know....

 

Coastie, which WHEC is that on your avatar. I was Hamilton, 1974/76, riffed during the Reagan years, 1982.

 

I havent seen anything with usa to impress me the only time i get a load over 500 miles and isnt scheduled to deliver in two days is right before hometime and then those decent 700-800 miles loads gets me home four days late i cant support my family and they dont act like they give a #### i've noticed in vanburen each department doesnt communicate how can you run a trucking company with all the chaos

 

Yeah it's really cute when two departments use you, in the truck, via the QC, as the go-between. Can't you nitwits get out of your fat chair and walk across the room?

One thing about USA the miles are there, but they're really chaotic. It looked for a while like they were going to give up weekends, but when I couldn't get home on my schedualed time and the truck came down with a bad case of the gremlins I decided it was time for me to check out.

Couldn't get me anything but nickle and dimes for 5 days and then right before hometime, I pull 800 miles in the wrong direction? Hmmm, how about no?

But right about then my truck got stupid on me. It had a dozen "it's not worth reporting" problems, so that's on me. But then it started shedding parts. I figured I'd put in enough time, time to look for something local.

 

You say the only time you get decent loads is when ur due home and they're loads that get you home 4days late, my question is if you've only been here 6 weeks how many times could that have happened? I've been here 2 years and I've been late getting home twice, both times I was called the week before and asked if they could get me home late. Several times I've been deadheaded 250+ miles just to get home on time. If you're just starting out and you make 25 or 26cpm minus escrow, school, ect..... and you're only going out 2wks at a time on top of that then yeah you're gonna have a tough time making any money.
