Conditional job offer with US Xpress

@Spreadneck, your school must speak very highly of you for all these companies lining up around the block trying to snatch you up. It's gonna be a tough decision.

 

That depends on how long you've been married and what she says no to now....

 

I just trained a student that came from super service. He stated that they'll keep you rolling, but do bare minimum repairs.

He ran a dedicated account out of Georgia for a brewery company in/nearby cartersville.

My only bit that I feel I can add... Don't let yourself be limited by the area of "job experience required." Many companies, especially if you're doing a dedicated account with a chain store (stay away from dollar general!!!!!) are going to have lots of miles and will bend the rules a little to let you on.

Otherwise, I'd recommend you get a good start at Schneider... I'm not a fan of their micromanaging, but they do a decent job of keeping you moving. However, you said you're looking for a company that lets you keep pets, so they wouldn't be a fit for you.

As for the number of job offers..consider it a very confusing compliment. ;P

Do your research on each one, most of the time it's easy enough to tell which drivers are complaining for the sake of complaining or have a legitimate gripe. Do some foot work and visit a few truck stops.

I think you said you're up off us-78 in ms...there's a couple places you might find drivers willing to talk to you.

Only 30 minutes...?

 

been together 25 years married for 17

 

That is the warm up before the 10

 

Gotcha... 30 minutes to build a fire, very respectable!

Good to know someone else that has a gap between knowing and married... I get lots of weird looks when I tell people that I've known my fiancée for 8 years, engaged to her 4 years ago and we "still" aren't married.

Far as I'm concerned, folks take it far too quickly now...

 

Congratulations on getting a Class A.

Did you get all your endorsements?

Can you drive into Canada/Mexico?
(Passport)?
Twic card?

 

What's the bad deal with Dollar General accounts?

 

DG and family dollar accounts are known for the lets shall we say, cumbersome and exhausting trailer unloads (hand unloads on rollers). Some guys can handle it some can't. But the point here is the mega's exploit the drivers time by paying only a set amount for the stop, but the stop can take anywheres from 2-8 hours to unload. So you get $33 for the stop, but it takes you 5 hours to unload, thats $6 dollars an hour. Another way to exploit and degrade the driver financially.
