    Good deal DA.. I unfortunately, didn't get good news from USX.. Apparently because my license was suspended for more then 6 months in a 3 year period, they can't hire me until some of that time falls off of my record.. Smh.. I had my hopes and dreams set on this company and they are letting a two month lapse keep them from hiring me.. It wasn't even a moving violation.. I did however get an orientation date from another company, which is also scheduled for the 16th of July.. The starting CPM is way lower than USX, but it's a job you know.. Training is 6 weeks, and the orientation isn't paid which is 3 days long.. They don't pay for any meals.. CPM to start is 25 cent per mile.. The first 4 weeks of training is paid at $450, and the last 2 weeks are paid at $500 a week.. Not bad I guess.. Very depressed about this as I have read some really bad reviews about this company online.. Hopefully everything works out for me though.. Trying to stay optimistic..

    Failure to provide proof of insurance.. I stupidly going against everything I believe in, put a vehicle in my name for a " FRIEND", and he was supposed to put the insurance on it.. Well a few months went by and I moved and went to the DMV to change my address on my drivers license and they couldn't even issue me another license because it was suspended.. So I had to pay $645 to get it reinstated, however I didn't have the money right away so from August 2011 to April 2012 it stayed suspended til I was finacially able to pay to have it reinstated..

    Thanks 757 and hate to hear it didn't go as plan with USX but glad you were able to get on with another company. Hopefully you can switch over in a few months if you still interested.

    I'm looking forward to it as well... I don't know if I'm more excited or more nervous lol, but definitely looking forward to getting on the road. A friend I met at CDL school got accepted today and will going as well so now I have someone to team with that I'm already familiar with so I'm hoping these next 10/11 weeks go by pretty fast so I can go solo and settle into it all.
    Look forward to meeting you in Dallas! I have dreads so I'm not too hard to spot lol

    Have not bought autos since 09.
    Only 35% of fleet is auto now,
    Most of those going to LP

    I would guess less than 20% of the fleet are still autos. All of the new trucks for the last couple of years are 10 speed manuals. We bought 3200 trucks in 2012, all manual
