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

Yes you can still use the trip pak mobile app. I use it all the time and I know a bunch of others that do as well. Works great

 

Just to clarify, Trip Pak mobile works great but you can also use trip pak scanners at truckstops too. Johnsons Corner in Northern Colorado is near our home and we scan in trip sheets there all the time.

 

Hey Craig how does this whole fleet thing work? Like what are the different fleets available? Do they each handle different type loads ie dry food, reefer, automotive... I would like to get away from food and the northern regions. Well at least the northern part, food may mean steady miles year round.
If I talk to my fleet manager wouldn't that still be in the same boat just a different captain? Thanks for your help.

 

I am completing CDL school this week and should have my license by the first week in October. I have spoken to a recruiter with USXPress. Any feedback about the company would be greatly appreciated.

 

Just read all the posts here and you will probally have all of your questions and concerns addressed.

 

If you want on the reefer board, you can send a message to my fm. PM me if you want and I will send you her info

 

12 volt COLEMAN...$100.00 BUCKS WALMART..WORKS GREAT.....

 

Well, finally met Wedge this morning at the Markham terminal. It was not as scary as I thought it would be.

As is pretty obvious from his posts, a great guy.

Markham shop is going to install our CB that Lexington could not figure out then we are heading to the railyard for a load to Wisconsin and the weekend off for a wedding with family.

Hey friends, finally made it on here to catch up on everything. Ten pages of reading later, it looks like everyone is still hanging in there. Man, I haven't been doing anything but sleeping lately when I'm not driving, I really need to fix that.

Just left the house in Michigan around 2300 on Monday, made a delivery in Ohio on Tuesday, then grabbed our west coast load in Indiana on Tuesday evening. Dispatch told us our delivery was set for 0800 on Friday but since we got out here 24 hours early, I figured I would call the customer and ask about an early unload. Well, it was a good thing that I did because I found out our appointment was really at 1500 this afternoon. I'm so glad we didn't fool around getting out here! I'm sure that saved us a whole lot of hassle.

Now just chilling out at Colton, waiting for the traffic to simmer down a little before we head up the coast for our eastbound load tomorrow. With any luck, we'll get one that delivers on Sunday and we should be able to put together a nice week.

@Craig or anyone else with some first hand knowledge about this,

If you read this far, what are you guys thinking of the Prostar+ now that you've been in it for a little while? I can't find anyone out here on the road that has anything good to say about them. Our Cascadia is burning coolant at the rate of a gallon every other day and our FM has hatched the plan to upgrade us to the new truck early as opposed to us sitting for a few days getting this one fixed. It sounded like a great idea until I started hearing all these other drivers whining about them and now we're not so sure. Is that all just a bunch of never satisfied truck drivers, or should we try to hang on to this truck?

We are comfortable with the interior layout, but I've heard everything from the clutch is too hard to the engine brakes don't work right to its got no power. What's your thoughts? With the miles on our truck, we could probably hang on to it for about another year if we wanted to.

Alrighty then, that's enough rambling from me. Talk to you all soon.
