    Way to go, Wulfman! :biggrin_25514:

    Give them your best, and make sure you learn all you can while you have a trainer. If you have a question, ask. Make sure you keep us updated about your time with Crete.

    Good luck, driver. :biggrin_25519:

    I'll post about my time at the USX

    Hello Everyone. :biggrin_25511:

    Just a quick update.

    Late this afternoon I received a call from U.S. Xpress. They wanted to review all of my application information in detail (name address, work history, etc). I was surprised as this call was not expected. :biggrin_2558:

    Basically, this person was verifying my info, comparing my answers to what I had put down on my application.

    After 15 minutes on the phone answering all of the questions he asked, he thanked me and said USX was looking forward to seeing me at orientation in Tunnel Hill, GA this coming Wednesday. :biggrin_255:

    Although this call was unexpected, I came away with a good feeling about the company. So far the experience has been a positive one. I hope it continues throughout my orientation and training.

    Thanks for reading

    Hello Everyone. :biggrin_25511:

    Well, I'm sitting in the hotel, near the USX Tunnel Hill terminal, waiting for tomorrow to arrive. Even though I have confidence in my abilities, the waiting definitely scores a 9.5 on the stress-o-meter. :biggrin_2554:

    The USX shuttle will start picking up people at 0530 tomorrow so tonight will not be a late night.

    Once I get through the DOT and their driving test I'll be able to relax a little. :yes2557:

    So time to get 'er done. I'll keep posting updates throughout orientation.



    Thanks for reading
