U.S. Xpress launches in-cab driver training

i drive for USX and had the opportunity to use this training. lets just say my trailer and a tree branch 'got together' one day. i called it in to safety, and was told "you really didnt need to report this, but since you did....". So that night when i stopped, i logged on, watched the video he told me to watch, and now im back in the good graces of the company. sure as heck beats having to be routed to a terminal, losing time and money.

 

I thought US Xpress was a good outfit. LIttle did I know! I was accepted into their orientation program last week. Took the Greyhound bus ride from hell from NJ out to Ohio. I passed the road test, drug test, DOT physical, including lifting 48 pounds over my head. I was into my third day of orientation, thinking that "Yes! I'm IN"!, when I get a note telling me to call Human Resources. I called and was informed that "I did not meet their criteria"! After all of that, I got bumped! To add insult to injury, they did NOT PAY MY BUS FARE HOME!!! If I didn't have a credit card, I would have been stranded out in Ohio. I would have been forced to hitchhike home, which could have had a disastrous ending, (ending up raped, or worse, murdered! I am a woman, by the way). Is it illegal for a company to leave you stranded like that???? I was so sure that I would get this job, that I quit the miserable job that I had....so now, unemployed, and don't know if I am eligble for unemployment until I find another job.

 

yea, im sorry to hear that...and i'm glad u let us all know theres a stress test involved with there DOT physical...yea i had a similar incident with Swift almost 3 yrs ago like that...i know how embarrassing it can be to be humiliated like that...

 

Just curious. When USX drivers take this computer training when stopped is it logged as on duty ?

 

Revente is:

getting an email
modifying the headers
having the bad people confess to all kinds of things
sending it to their professional competitors (other company recruiters)
from a bogus yahoo account on an unsecure wifi
with a wifi usb network card bought with cash

don't do it : ) it is the thought that is funny
