Good evening everyone. I've been driving now for about 3 months and I had to share my experience with US XPRESS. I started back in February on their dedicated family dollar account and while I could do the work I wanted to do other things. I wanted OTR but my trainer convinced me to stay on with the dedicated family dollar account. Once inwas out on my own it was a nightmare. I went through 5 trucks because they had issues ranging from a bad knock sensor, roaches in the truck and some DEF issue on one where I was smelling fuel when the truck was idling before a delivery. They finally placed me in a 2025 cascadia and things were better. Also I wanted to video chat with my son more so on this account I couldn't do it. So I decided to go OTR or with their Dedicated Quad Graphics account. At that time I wasn't eligible for the quad graphics account because I was too far away from the Atlanta area. So I went OTR. initially it was just fine and I was enjoying OTR but then things went bad. Outside of Atlanta I had a trailer ABS light come on and after troubleshooting it it still stayed on and I was near a scale. So I had to wait until a mechanic could fix it. That made me late going to miami to drop the load and then I had jury duty and I didn't make it back for that. I did smooth things over with the court but that left me frustrated. So after that I had to take the truck in for maintenance and now this truck has a crack in the transmission case and needs a new one. I've been in Jacksonville for the past 3 days. My check today was $189 for the week. So I spoke with my uncle who's a truck driver and he recommended a few companies and one of them was Cyprus Truck lines. So I applied and I start at the end of the month. I did some skimming around on here and it see if anyone spoke about the company and it seems to be a good company. Has anyone had any issues with breaking down a lot?? I don't want to be jumping from carrier to carrier in my first year like this. Also they claim a pay of $1,400 to $1,800/week. Does anyone hit these numbers? Also I read they have driver facing cameras. I doubt US Xpress will get me in a truck this weekend so I'm thinking about going back to tallahassee tomorrow to get my car and drive back over. I have a bad feeling that since I put in my two weeks notice I'm gonna get jerked around.
