    I drove for a friend who was leased to them in '08. I had to do the whole driver app thing, so technically I worked for them. I liked them. Just be aware that they pay percentage, not per mile. The biggest concerns with them are: 1) not paying the 100% FSC. Sometimes it was 50-75%. But you'd figure it out sooner or later, make a phone call or two to complain, and it was corrected. I received a settlement once with about 8 FSC's from the previous month; 2) direct deposit is $10 per transaction; and 3) the dispatch policy is not always exactly the way it is stated, but I don't know of any company that is 100% true to that.
    I'm not there now because the guy I drove for took a hit when the economy tanked at the end of '08, and I went that way too.
    I would go back with them today if I could. The reason being I don't have the money to get in a good dump with a 3 way gate (a must). I just recently talked to my old dispatcher/terminal manager to see how things were. She would love to have me back, but not having my own trailer is the hold up.

    I have worked for US Bulk for a year now and they are a decent company to work for other than the last 2.5 months have been the worst in my 30 years as an O/O. They lease trailers suck so you would be better off buying one before you come in. Pay is always right and when freight is moving you can make some cash. That's all I have for ya
