A Few Questions From A Newbie

I would say first off is call US Express and ask them when his first check will be there.
Second I have heard not many positive things about that company. They are great for a single guy (or gal) who never wants to be home. If you want to see your hubby more than once a month I would suggest to him to stay with them until he finishes training then move on to something better. At least give them 6 months to gain some experince out here on the road.

 

From our experience, the first year is the roughest. Their just getting started and their new to the trucking world - he does need to get experience though, and keep his record clean. Hubby's been in 3 1/2 years, changed jobs a couple of times and hoping this last change is the one for awhile - Good Luck, keep your chin up and continue to be supportive, he'll need it!.........................Lori

 

My hubby has direct deposit too, he knows how much is going in the day BEFore it goes in. The company sends it though qualcom.

 

He will have the opportunity to take cash advances to eat on and stuff so that want be a problem but if i remember right they don't make allot while training so there may not be much to the house for a few weeks but it will work out as soon as he gets on his own truck. So don't worry about him going hungry. If he has a decent trainer he will make sure he is fed and stuff if he has to take it out of his pocket. i know when i trained I always bought breakfast for my trainee's i figured it was the least i could do after all they made me money by driving i got paid for all miles and they were on a fixed income so much a week.
