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

I'm just accidentally successful here.

 

Sammy,

How long were you with USX?

 

I see nothing has changed over here in this thread lol... Just sticking my head in to say hello
As much as I NEVER thought I would say it, I actually miss USX... well being contracted to USX anyways lol... As a company driver, don't miss that one bit! They called and offered me 10 grand over 3 years, 2 grand in the first 30 days if I would come back... ah no thanks!!! Get rid of that sliding pay scale and I might would have thought about it. We (Freight Systems aka Beech) got bought by Celadon and man it has been a nightmare!!!! So yes USX has it's major issues, but all big companies seem to suck big time from what I've seen in my short time out here. Anywho, have a great day and see ya around!

 

ARNOLD Orientation

i just left grand prairie today. what a waste of 4 days.

hotel was nice, ladies were nice at the office, safety man is flakey, but any how

- no sliding pay scale . you run a 150 mile load, you get .33 less than Fifty bucks.

- Sh1tty automatic transmissions take off in 1st gear! who the Hell takes off in 1st ?

- no empty trailers on yard. all out of service or sold. night dispatch told me , 'yeah, we can't go pulling them from customers no more,mmmk.... you just gotta sit out there and watch for one, mmmk'''. douche.

they gave me an international out of the ''ready line'' that was not ''ready'' . air pressure leaks to below 30 in like just an hour or two after shutting engine off.

1st load they tried to send me on. last night. dead head from terminal to fort worth. supposed to pick up bottle water. low-paying load to houston. 19 empty. 261 loaded. i check in. shipping. they say, no this load goes to shreveport. wtf. i call night dispatch. they say we aren't taking this load to shreveport if the load dispatch says houston. and the man tells me come back to the yard. so i did. got back at midnight. bout 60 miles round trip and 5 hours for nothing. then my d.m. has no clue, he gets to work this morning, sends free form.. . "durrrrrrr did the load get canceled?" w t f can u not read all these transmissions from night before i was sending on QC? freak. any how he wouldn't pay me for the attempt. so i was like F' this. I had my pickup truck in lot. i packed my shiiit back to my Ford and came home. I knew better than to F with any co. affiliated with US X . I knew better, man.

 

So, as a new hire, you weren't given a brand new truck and you had trouble with your first load from a Night dispatcher. Better throw a fit and leave, good choice.

It's really not a huge surprise they were gonna be confused and try refusing to pay you for that load, but did you even try to be patient and explain it to them, or did you get all huffy and puffy and tell em you oughta get paid for this #### you just done did?

You say on here you've been a trucker for 2 years anyhow. Why are you at a Starter company..?

 

Yeah, you're right. I was, at knight. Almost 1 yr. Thought it sucked. But it can always be worse. And arnold, indeed, is. Let's move on.

 

1 yr, 7 mo. Exp.

 

over $20 a hour not enough

well if you had a load of water you BETTER be starting in 1st why didn't you set it to start in 2nd...?

what you so special they should have a mt trailer JUST FOR YOU

so what it's not a dot violation.....

good to see your gone we don't need you type around making all the rest of us bad.....

 

i don't like you either

 

hi everyone i'll be going to the tunnel hill location Monday for my orientation looking forward to meeting all of you.
