    The ones I've seen posted on Craigslist are 1099. If they have ones that offer home weekly & benefits then we would consider it.

    Do you have a good recommendation ?

    No, I mean with US Xpress. Jade and Jon are a husband/wife team who drive for USX. They vlog their travels on Youtube. Really nice people, maybe you've seen them at a terminal. Check out their videos if you have time.

    FedEx dedicated is a good account USX has but we're really happy doing Ceva dedicated. With the FedEx account, there is no extra time on the delivery schedule. It's a just in time delivery. Ceva allows us a lot of downtime, that way we get time to explore the cities we're in and still make a good paycheck. 90% of the loads with Ceva are under 15,000 lbs.....haven't slide a tandem, scaled a load since we started. We pull Ceva trailers & those are well maintained unlike US Xpress trailers lol. We do 5,000 to 6,000 miles easily but this account has a 4,700 mile guarantee which helped during February because of loads being canceled due to weather. This is a low stress account.

    OTR or regional. Did local for a while but you get burned out real quick dealing with the constant city driving, traffic jams, tight docks, etc. Want a change of pace.

    DriverToBroker, thinking about USX ? Looked at my paycheck for last week, we grossed $1,500 each. My biggest issue is that I wish the hometime was better.

    I was at the Springfield, OH terminal Sunday....They had a 2015 Peterbilt automatic truck for a driver.

    Guess the company is buying not just Cascadias but Peterbilts.
