Here we go! US Express.

Hey, don't knock those guys too hard. At least the recruiter is being honest with you. At some outfits, they'd have dragged you all the way to orientation before telling you 'NO', and then you'd be finding your own way back home. You think you're mad now? You should call that recruiter back and thank him, really. He just saved you a bus fare.

 

Try calling the P.D. were the report is from and ask if there is an
accident diagram for this report number. If not, explain your situation
and ask them to fax you a quick note stating NO second page.
May or may not help.

 

keep your head up. i drive for USX and its 'ok'. there are several companies out there. you WILL get hired if that is all thats on your record.
take care

 

Only half honest, Full honesty would have been to tell the OP that we can't hire you because your at fault accident is less then a year old and would have to be approved by safety. The second page request was just a delay tactic till safety gave the recruiter a thumbs down on the application.

OP, ANY accident in trucking is a big deal and a red flag on a application whether you payed a fine or not or how honest you are. Keep your license clean and don't blame them for their insurance carriers requirements.

 

Hey, how's it been so far?

 

Talked with USX today and they are offering $1000 sign on bonus. $500 after orientation and $500 6 months later. Now, I am curious, is this a bait to get me in a jacked up situation or is this a good thing?

 

You better thank your lucky stars you're not going to U S XPRESS. I was there for a year. All they do is give you a wore out piece of junk and send you up the road and let you set. Example, I picked up a loaded trailer at a drop yard already sealed, traveled 5 miles to Interstate turned south, crossed state scales and got ticket for over axel weight, with no way to correct. Would you like to know what U S XPRESS told me over the phone? "It's your baby now, we don't pay fines". (650.00)
