    How is the Orientation work at US Xpress ? I been working with Werner for 6 month ... I know there will be a backing test and a road test the only thing I worry about is the backing , My question is what happen if you have a hard time backing the trailer or fail , they sent you home or put you with a trainer? Thank !!!!

    US Xpress orientation is 2 and a half days. First day is drug and physical test. Then road test. The rest of the day is spent on paperwork. Second day is more paperwork. Last day they show you how to use the DriverTech.

    Road test is about 6 miles. They take two people at a time. Your on the interstate for a part of it. Then when you get back to the terminal you have to dock. They allow you to take as much time as you need. I've seen people pull up 20 times. The guys who do the road test are fellow drivers. They don't want to see you fail. If your really bad then they might have you practice more than team for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks you take your upgrade test. Fail the backing on that then more teaming.

    WoW! I am so shocked that someone would use.....dang, I cant say it, it won't get past the Mods....:( I want to so bad but,,,love TTR so, I will bow out....best of luck to you driver. My wife and I worked for USX and I will tell you this, if you are going as a solo, look elsewhere. Teams can make some money while putting up with BS, reefer side, but running solo is not worth the BS. Surely you have heard the argument against EOBR's, you know, companies using them to harass drivers? Yep, USX will do that.. If you have the hours, no matter what time it is or how tired you are, they will try and force you to take the load. I could tell you more, I worked for them as a solo for 3 months than my wife came out with me. That place is ridiculous, to say the least.
     
    KW Cajun Thanks this.
