US Xpress My Journey

Im starting this thread because i am most likely going to drive for USX. My orientation is in Shippenburg PA on 11/6/13. I will drive there cause im only 2 hours away and i dont want to deal with the bus. I heard horror stories.

My experience with usx so far has been good. My recruiter is very nice. His name is Shaun. He told me that i could do to NE regional or East Regional. And after my 150 hours of training id go solo. I hope that is true cause i do not want to do team driving for 8 weeks.

Im nervous about going to work for a mega carrier but i need to get experience under my belt. My father has been a car hauler my whole life. i grew up in the cab with him and truck driving is all i want to do. its in my blood. I want to eventually do heavy haul and specialized loads.

If anybody on here is driving for USX please tell me what im getting myself into. Ive done tons of research and have read some good and some bad things about them.

Just a few quick questions, do they give you a CB? Fridge? invertor? Was my recruiter lying to me about being able to go solo after training? how do you like usx?

thanks. Be safe drivers!

 

thank you!

 

Will do. Thank you. Im waiting to hear back from Gypsum Express. If i dont hear back from them im going with US Xpress

 

Thank you so much. So you think USX is a good company? if i do have to team drive will they pair me with a good match or a random?


cause i love country music but hate rap music.

 

lol ok. im a little nervous on trusting some one to drive an 18 wheeler while i sleep. i guess if i do have to do it itll only be for 8 weeks. That is right though right? only 8 weeks then i have the option to go solo?
