USX drivers...how's your day??

well we made it ont on NJ....!

we had a emergency load for home depot to del to 3 stores in NJ
1st stop was at 0800 and same time IRENE hit NY...........

freeway closed (water & trees down) roads closed for the same reason but we found a way around

we stopped at a rest area on i-81 on the way in and when i came out 2 trees had blown down. was not a fun drive in, alot of rain and wind

 

I was just there a couple of days before she hit, I'm glad to have left when I did ...

 

it was strange having people stop us in the store parking lot to see if we had generators......? and no we didn't, had shop vacs.

 

Well folks I know that I haven't been on here in awhile. I was pretty upset that USXPRESS rejected me for a minor item in my background after they had scheduled me for orientation. I graduated on Aug. 24 from school and I am headed for Knoxville as I am typing this in. I am going to work for Crete Carrier Corp. Have several friends that work there and I am pretty excited about it. I just hate that things didn't work out for me with USX. You are a great group of people and I have enjoyed this thread so much.

You all be safe out there and maybe I will run into some of you out there once
I am on my own...

sorry it didn't work out for ya, hope this one does

best of luck

 

Thanks so much flood...I think it will. I am heading to orientation with a good friend of mine that went through school with me. We are planning on running team when we finish training...so it all worked out good.

 

So we delivered FedEx in West Sacramento last evening then got a stupid 48 empty, 47 loaded run with a live unload at 6 am this morning. I was pretty hacked off about it until i thought for a bit. There was no empty at FedEx last night and just what kind of a load did i think i was going to get out of the Bay Area on a Suday night?instead of sitting until this morning empty and trying to find a trailer we made an extra 50 bucks and had an mt for our load to Houston. Rolling through the Imperial Valley on our way to dinner at in=n=out across from the pilot in lost hills ca.....a good day

 

It seems you drivers on here are pretty happy with US Xpress. This is the only thread I've read yet though. Would you recommend it for someone wanting to get into the trucking industry?
Thank you.
