Attention!! Team drivers for USX (US Express)

I know teaming is what you make of it. My husband and I are adventurous, strong work ethics, and have been planning out as much as we can for this new adventure. We will be enrolling in school soon. We understand that we will probably be training separately for 3 weeks or so and we are prepared.the pamphlets ad the recruiters say that when we are done with our 8 week reasoning we will be making 48cpm. (split) as a team averaging 4-6000 miles. We want to drive. Not have much home time. I want to see this country. I know we can't stop ad smell te roses all the time. I have seen a lot about solo drivers on here with a lot of different companies. Is there anyone out there that teamed for them or is teaming for them? Just wanted to know if they keep u goon g and how many miles you average for real. I'm trying to be prepared for what lies ahead.

 

They seem like a solid company for starting out. Great opportunities to run like crazy and make good money. Am I in it all for the money? No but it sure helps.

 

That is correct. My husband and I are going to be teaming do as a couple we will be making .48 with USX if hired on and we both have our hazmat endorsement. (which nowadays is a given)

 

By the way... This forum is fantastic for information. Look at the threads. Look at the articles. If you don't see what you are looking for... Ask. The people that respond generally have tons of experience first hand and they will help you. Apparently there is no stupid question, or too many times the same question is asked. They all seem great!!

 

Oh I understand that I will be taxed more. I will need a good informed accountant to help recoup some of that. I absolutely was not even thinking bonuses. I've been following several people from this forum and they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. I have also been chatting with several about this per diem. Been doing some research. I really don't think I want to go that route. So I have been looking at the gross pay. .48 cpm. Nothing more. Out of all the companies that hire fresh out of school this one seems to be better than most. I am not expecting my job to be easy nor do I expect to never be unhappy with the way they do things, but is that ever the case in any industry? We are going to give this our best. If we feel this is not a good fit then we can always move on like so many truckers do. Thank you for your help. I value everyone's opinion.
