My US Express experience

Recruiters promised me western state assignment

Went to orientation in Colton, Ca, what a waste of time, my road test constituted some driver and I watching them wash his truck. After orientation and getting hired, was put in a rental car with 2 other guys to go to the Dallas, TX terminal to get trucks.

Got there and found out I had been assigned to a 48 state driver board. Went in talked with the Dallas Terminal Manager. Was told there really was nothing he could do about it. Told him I wasn't gonna do a 48 state board again for anybody. He paid for my bus ticket back to NV and had someone take me to the bus station.

Got home and the next morning my recruiter called to ask what happened. Explained everything just as it happened. He then told me he'd call back after he found out what went wrong. The next morning I taked with another guy from my orientation class that was assigned to the western states board who had wanted 48 state. Told him what happened to me. about a hour later the recruiter called and told me that USX had done away with the western board, called him on his BS lie and told he asked for the name of the guy from orientation. Told him I'd call him and give him his number and he could call if he wanted.

Got a call about 3 hours later telling me that USX had given him BS information and he apologized and made sure I got paid for orientation and the trip to Dallas

 

Saw that already and reported them to the NV Labor Relations Board.... it's gonna cost them that and a bunch more until I get it back

 

according to the State of NV . . . since they broke the contract . . . yes, it's in writing . . . they have no right to withold it

 

UPDATE:

NV Labor Board has opened a claim with USX and are taking care of this for me . . . was told it could be a while, but will include interest
