    Have been with USA Truck for a total of 10 years, 3 and a half years this go around. The only time I had problems getting miles, was back in 2011, when the economy crapped out. I left USA Truck and went to a LTL company, that was still moving plenty of freight. Came back to USA Truck in March of 2014, and have never had issues with low miles. The weeks that I go home, miles are a little less, but that's expected. I don't kiss anybody's ### to get the miles, biggest thing is to communicate with your DM. Let them know when you can get to the customers, and if too much time on load, get the appt. changed or drop it somewhere. Currently on a 1800 mile load from Alexandria,Pa. picked up in Camp Hill, Pa. now heading to Laredo, Tx. Will drop this load Saturday am, due to only having 5 hours to run tomorrow.
    Bottom line is, USA Truck has the miles, it's the lazy drivers that don't know how to use their time wisely. So, for all you cry baby drivers, stay on here, and keep #####ing. I've got to go, plenty of miles for me to run here...

    It's crazy ain't it.
    What's even crazier is they pay them less starting
    Out then what we got back then.
    I believe the mega's are bigger ######## now
    Then they where then.

    I was checking out new Chevy pickups in Rhode Island one Sunday last year
    , walked back to my truck parked in front of the showroom and discovered that the gates were locked. I called the cops and the dispatcher kept saying REALLY?
    20 minutes later, the owner showed up and kept apologizing for the screw up. I thought I should have gotten a new Z71 out of it..

    The first day I work for any company where I found out the gate won't open from the INSIDE for a driver would be the last.

    I shudder to think what other sort of micromanagement types of absurdities must go on there.

    So, Instead of this companies dispatch TRYING to assist this poor girl stuck in a yard..They are more concerned with this customers property as opposed to her well being.

    Makes me sick really.......Assuming she couldn't get out this USA truck would expect her to stay in a locked yard for 4 days without Anything?

    This is a VERY Good scenario on why drivers need representation......Treating a driver like a caged animal.
    I'd like to know who typed this to her (Assuming its a true story)
