Was I wrong for quitting US Xpress?

US-Xpress pays for orientation days, and while waiting in a hotel on a trainer. They do not pay for time on the bus and at home.

 

try schneider instead of swift.☻

 

Ok. They were one of the companies I called a few months ago when I was looking, and the lady told me it was 3 days unpaid. Sorry for the wrong info I posted.

 

Usx. Turned me down cause i hv 6 mnts on a old stupid ticket in my car..and u quit to go work for swift. Swift..wow...it is guys like u that make these companys treat us green guys like sheeet cause if things dont go your way ,u take your bat & ball and go home..then come on here & slam trucking out fit for not kissing your,,,,, you know u r being a wussss,,go to swift.....

 

I lol'd at this. I was prepared to call you a wuss and tell you man up, but if you are telling the truth that they said sleeping at a bus station or nothing then I don't blame you for not wanting to sleep in a bus station.

If they wouldn't spring for a hotel to impress a new guy imagine how bad they would bend you over once they really got hooks in you.

Most every big company that hires zero experience n00bs is going to try to find a way to bend you over at least find one that uses lube is my advice man.

 

Whats the difference between US Express and swift?! Nothing as far as im concerned just a couple of bottom feeders...

 

I vote being a wuss. lol

 

Aren't new drivers who basically want to use a company's equipment to learn on and get experience with no intention of staying with that company once they get a better offer bottom feeders as well? So what is really so bad about companies using people who are basically using them?

I wonder what percentage of new drivers have effed up a company's truck while they are learning?

Most big companies are offering plenty of miles for you to hone your craft in their equipment for the sole purpose of making you a more attractive candidate to the company you actually want to work for.

All this waaaaah waaaaah about bottom feeders completely ignores the mercenary nature of a lot of n00b truckers.

 

Well said!
