U.S. Xpress Strikes Again!!

I meant they'd deduct it from your check

 

you got me on that one

 

WOW! This brought back memories. They were my first company back in 2003. Boy did I learn some life lessons about trucking. I too left my truck at Indy terminal and had my aunt pick me up. 2 weeks later I get a call asking if I'm ready to get back out on the road. They acted as if I just took a lil vacation. And to boot, they called me on home phone in PA, truck is in Indy!!!!.......No thanks, I quit........2 weeks ago! Oh the memories.........

 

Abandonement of freight will look real good on your record.

 

I got a call yesterday from a friend who put me on a three way call. This guy who was driving for a company out of Iowa and were leased on with USless pulled inti his yard and his boss called him in to look at a video.

You all should remember the moron who videos trucks in Ga, TN, AL and Sc that has that YouTube site called something like watch my truck or whatever who about 2 months ago pulled a gun on a driver on I24 just west of ChooChoo and was arrested for assualt by pointing a weapon? Well he's apparently back at it AND USLess buys his videos or has him on a retainer!

This driver was just out of the gourge on I40 in NC/TN heading west and well into the 65 MPH zone doing 70 MPH. Yeah USLESS has some silly rule that if you are leased to them you can't do over 62 or whatever their top speed is and moron with his camera car was following him doing his same stupid stuff of getting truck and trailer numbers and DOT yada, yada, yada. The only thing the driver was doing wrong was doing 5 over the speed limit. Not a HP officer in nTN thast will even mess with a 5 over except for a school zone! He used his blinkers with plenty of time before changing lanes and didn't tail gate or any of the other things this idiot tries to film drivers doing while himself NOT following simple rules written in his drivers manual!
Anyway the driver said his boss was proud of the way he was driving and he got the ole pat on the back and he also said not to worry about the complaint from Usless express!

To the rest of you who drive in the box of 3 states in this area of I-40/75 I-40/81 west to Nashville south to Birmingham south to Ga/FL and then up I95 to SC and then I26 to 77 and back watch for this idiot! he will race up to you OR slow down and let you pass and then start from behind you and stick to you like glue. If you are paying attention to your surroundings you'll pick up on him in a heart beat! Just do everything you should be doing! Don't tail gate like you should never do anyway. Give plenty of notice with your blinkers and NO it's NOT ya got three blinks and I'm coming over! AS blinker is not a demand but a notice that you need to change lanes or turn. and watch the speed. This guy hangs out mainly in Ga especially on I285 and his videos has gotten drivers fired. Some of the videos I watched a while back, those drivers needed to be removed from driving everything down to a tricycle they were actually a danger to everyone around then and themselves!

Anyway USLESS wanted to know why that truck pulling there trailer was doing 70 and not their mandated 62 MPH? IDK what his boss said but the driver did say that they were signing with a broker as his boss had just gotten a loan for 10 reefers and was getting away from their headache and PITA contract with USLESS Express with his own authority.

It's good to know that another is leaving a major and starting his own busness and not relying on some college educated with no experience dispatchers with a major BFI! I wish him luck!

The rest of you if you see some silver colored vehicle with crap mounted to the dash and passenger door and a camera on the center consul drive like your brain is engaged!

 

Sounds like an opportune time to do a brake check.....

 

Did USX shoot themselves in the foot buying all the new tractors like JB did? Or, are they actually getting their act together???

 

How many companies does US Xpress have a piece of or own???

 

sounds swifty to me.....you can smell swift with em..
