USXpress Orientation

most of the drivers I talked to said it wasnt as bad as some other places.If they would have hit me up sooner,I would have went.I am waiting on word from a couple places right now.If things dont get better soon,I might have to tell my commander of my reserve unit to assign me to another unit thats goin to Iraq so I can get some cash lol..Been there once, I will do it again lol.I knew comin into this that it wasnt gonna be no smokey and the bandit stuff lol,but I thought drivers would have gotten treated better then they do....

 

called my driver trainer today that maybe a month cant even promise that said still have people from thanksgiving holiday time frame will have to place first. So i leaving them because i cant afford to wait I told them if they know they have no trainer they should not hire all of these student drivers. all they are doing in banking drivers and not losing nothing because they are not paying us nothing. if you are new i was recommended to go to another company first to learn how to drive a manual first because i was told if i come from usxpress i would have to go to training just like a new hire all over

 

Well,they did pay me $148.00,and gave me a $50.00 bus ticket lol.$200.00 isnt alot,but with all the people they pay that to I am sure it adds up every month.Not to sure about getting trained again if you go to another company though.Even so,it wouldnt be a bad thing.I couldnt see it takin more then a week to get it back lol.I really liked that mobile max computer system they have.The driver tech was cool,but we heard it still has a ton of problems.I also liked how they had the macros in order 1 - 8.The one company I was with had load exceptance #1 and arrived at shipper was like # 24 lol...Not a big deal though.Oh well.I am just gonna move on down the line and see what other companies are out there.I will see if these guys will try to mess with my dac.I believe I and alot of guys in this situation are justified in leaving them without deserving a consequence.

 

hey spoke with my trainer he said only will put that you quit the company nothing bad, my uncle told me that you might have to explain why but in will show such a short time of employment will be easy to explain, also alot of other companies know that usx is having problem with trainers.

 

Big doesn't always mean better, as you all seem to be finding out.

Beware of large companies that assign you an employee number....cuz that's your new name.

My employee number, is my social. When I call my dispatcher, I tell her who I am....my real name. We have over 800 drivers.

OH! My orientation was less than a day. I was dispatched out after the drug test were returned clean.

 

I've applied last week to a job and they "needed help bad" Did the drug test ran over 120 miles there and back and here I sit. What they are doing is bidding on jobs.But while they are waiting to see if they get the bid they get a bunch of applications filled out and if they don't get the bid they will not call and tell you this. Or they hire you and keep you strung out until you quit. They do this because they are crooks and they have told so many lies that they don't see anything wrong with it. They have no soul. they are destined to eternal damnation to a place set aside for satin himself. That is as mean as I can get without getting in trouble.........

 

The day these people meet the devil may be a long time off. In the mean time, make 'em meet a devil-on-earth by spreadin' the word about their ways and deeds.

Blog, blog, blog away, my colleagues.

 

They shouldnt have to put anything on a dac.I could see these companies doin it for people who leave a truck some where or burn it to the ground,but not for somone who didnt go past orientation.Granted I was "employed" for a month afterwards,but I didnt even touch a truck.They told me to call every 3 days for an update.What did I get, "we have no trainers" for a whole month strait.I even asked them if they had any dedicated route trainers and they said no and it could be another month.Dac is stupid cause it always one sided.But in the case that I do have to explain somthin I will just tell them I want to work and us express could not make that happen for me.Atleast I think that would show them I am serious about workin and I am not playin around.I didnt even put us express on my last application cause I feel I never worked for them.

 

hey irav i would not keep waiting you are not getting nothing in return, your training will be like 10 weeks when you finished it. i know the auto are sweet and they have nice equipment but i call some other companies and was told that i must quit usx before they would setme up for there company

 

I have in interveiw with a company tommorrow.They run flats and said I would run midwest and the carolinas and be home on the weekends.If I get the job lol.I didnt notice anything wrong with usx,except for waiting forever to get with a trainer..
