Starting orientation in ATL 4/9/14

That's a perfect example of what's wrong with that company. And they pay what... .25/mi? So $500/week to roll in crap equipment.

PT Barnum was a wise man indeed.

 

MLJ7 all we are saying is there are so many more carriers out there that have more attractive offers than USA. USA is a "beginner" carrier that offers low pay shotty equipemnt for the new trainees to get their CDL and into a truck. I dont know what area you are out of but in the general atlanta area there is Warner, Knight, Schneider, Central Ref (bought out by swift last i heard) that have better pay scales and equipment. but you said you did your research. From my general experience, the smaller the company the better off you are. find a mom and pop with decent freight, and they will mostly take care of you. I dont mean to insult you, but you said you got out of a lease purchase, that was a mistake....do you own the truck now. If not all you did is make their payment for them, and now they will "sell" it to someone else.

 

I sure did, when I was fresh out of cdl school. My piece of crap trainer did his best to get me to drive on his log book until I got fed up with it & jumped off his truck. I won't drive illegal for anybody, that left a bad taste in my mouth that hasn't gone away in over 13 years.

 

If you'd really done your research, I don't see why you'd even consider USA over companies like Crete, Melton, or Navajo.

Hell, I'd go to CR England over USA Truck.

 

If you'd read my posts allllll the waaaaay to the ennnnnd, you wouldn't have to ask me questions that I won't answer.
