I would tell averitt you can start in a month or so. Then give usx your two weeks notice. That way in case usx keeps you out longer just to spite you you have that extra two week cushion to fall back on.

 

How long at USX?

 

Why Averitt; you just want dry van?

 

Averitt has an all automatic fleet. If you go with Averitt and never get experience with a standard transmission, you will be severely limited if you want to go to a better company later in your career. There was an Averitt driver on here that started a thread where he asked Chinatown to recommend a better job, but it had to be with another all-auto company because he didn't know how to shift gears. Some companies may even require you to go back to school (at your expense) before they'll hire someone who can't shift gears. If it was me, I'd stick it out for at least a year.

 

I thought USX was 100% autos too?

 

@DC843 I agree with @Allow Me. You made a choice to go to USX. They are investing a lot of money in training you to drive their truck. Suck it up and stick it out with them for at least 6 months, preferably a year. Then, if things are not to your liking, move on. The grass IS greener on the other side. However, it's only greener because the sun hits it at a slightly different angle.

@Allow Me. I think you were looking for "antsy".

 

You have been there for a month. Stick it out for 5 more. Then go if you didn't sign a contract. But not at 1 month in. Averitt isn't going to be any different then usx. But seriously don't jump ship one month in.

 

nobody has really answered your question but good advice none the less.people quit all the time in this industry. Companies could care less.if you have a way home then ask dispatcher to route you to terminal and clean trk out.lie if you have to like I need to take a leave of absence that way if it doesn't work out with averitt u have a job to go back. but I would request home time then tell dispatch and clean your trk out.they'll give u a load back to terminal you hand in keys tools everything issued to you and you'll probably get transportation paid for back home.
