    Being in Chattanooga we get all the latest news on USX in our papers (if it is not VW then USX). They just bought and took control of a couple companies and mentioned that they would roll recruiting into USX. Then I got a call from someone from the other company and they had drivers leave in mass. So I believe the increase is due to expecting to add 1500 or so drivers and now having 500 more than normal trucks sitting.

    Merry Christmas to you all (and see you on Craigslist ;) We need 10 O/O's by February.)

    They have saturated the Wausau, Wi Craigslist. I just can't decide it I want to make money with them by teaming, running regional, running dedicated, running OTR, leasing or being an O/O. They just have too many options.....

    we have a drop yard in KENT and PORTLAND so going to the NW is no big deal at all for home time. when we were company drivers we went to Blane, bellingham, federal way and even port townsond all the time..

    btw it US Xpress not US Express
     
    jomar68 and BigBadBill Thank this.

    Auto-correct can be a real pain in the ### sometimes. My wife's phone will not recognize the name of our neighbor lady which is Darlene. Every time she types her name in a text or on Facebook, it gets changed to Darker....ridiculous sometimes.

    They're flooding CL here in NY also...though around here if you don't work for the oilfield in PA, you work for a local or semi-local outfit. OTR is bottom of the barrel in this market...the nearby stuff pays markedly higher for the most part.
