    It is true that you get out what you put into, that's why I told the wife that in order for us to do this she has to quit her job and I have to quit mine. There is money to be made in trucking.

    Yes, not a lot of companies allow dogs at all. It is expensive but my wife sure feels it is worth it:biggrin_255:

    Hi Truckduo Yes USX charges $10 week for a pet. You can only have 1 pet. That is $10 a week plus they charge you $500 refundable pet deposit on top of that $10. They said in orientation they take that $500 in weekly chunks for 10 weeks.
    I guess while I'm on here I'll update my thread also. Here it is 7 days since I've been out of orientation and I'm still sitting at home. Yes this is due to one of my past employers not sending them the correct info! So they actually have everything they need to get me started except for the exact dates that I worked for this other company. I really hope today will be the day! I can't afford to be sitting at home this long! I hope everyone is safe and I hope the next time I write on this thread I'll be telling you about my first load a delivered for USX! Have a great day!

    Can't you contact the old employer directly? That is just crazy. Also, the $500 deposit is nonrefundable, not really a deposit

    Hi yes I have been in contact with the old employer and they keep leaving stuff out of the form that they fax in to US. I did not leave them on the best of terms so I guess this is their way of getting me back! I've contacted both old company and US every day this week! Old company does not answer the phone when either of us call them its all been done by voice mails and txts! The way they explained the $500 to us in orientation if there was no damage to the truck when you turned in your truck you would get that $500 back? The $10 a week was not refundable? I hope all goes well for you and your wife with your new adventure NoCoCraig! Take care!

    How do they try to coordinate team drivers if you don't have one?

    Thanks for your posts!

    Well it looks like USX is going down the tubes. I've been waiting for them to put me into a truck for over a week and a half. They claim my last employer is holding out on them and not giving the info they need! I have been in contact with my old employer and they told me they gave them all the info they needed! USX is saying one thing, passed employer saying another, I'm caught in the middle without a job or a pay check! I'm tired of waiting I need a paycheck and US isn't giving me one! Time to move on! I should have stayed at Wel Companies the miles sucked, but I was getting a check! What a mistake!! :biggrin_25510:
