Driving OTR with US Xpress

It's a great movie, Wulfman. You'll like it.

 

USX is very "pro" team. If you take the time to learn how the system works and get to know your fleet manager, you should do fine.

Contact Scarlett in recruiting (in Chattanooga, TN). She'll give you the straight scoop.

 

Hello There.



I haven't been on too much, I know. I've been busy running.


Miles on last Friday's settlement sheet were 2,639. This week: 2,300. I've been resisting taking a 34 hour reset and have tried to run rolling over any remaining hours to the next day. It works if your getting back 8 or 9 each day. But if you get a day where you only get back 1 or 2 hours, that'll slow you down, and that's what happened this past week. Ended up having to do a couple of short hops which were basically trailer moves so the miles were off.

This week is shaping up better. Had a 442 mile run from McCalla, AL to Houma, LA, and I'm now on a 1,167 mile run that picked up in Decatur, MS and delivers in Flint, MI, another of those auto loads I love so much. I'm real early on this one, so I'm going to drop this load tomorrow morning at our drop yard in Detroit. I have a pre-assignment waiting that will pick up in Carelton, MI tomorrow morning, and delivers in Enfield, NC on 7/2. Paid miles: 716. I'm hoping to get that one in early so I can drop it at a yard and move on to something else.



So that's the latest.


Have to go cook dinner. Going watch "Thor" tonight.



Yes!
