    Make sure you find out if you have to go with a trainer. The recruiters aren't always the smartest people.

    This is a team company so its the smart way to go if your going to join this company. Make sure to get on a dedicated account.

    Definitely will check on the trainer. That's what I applied for, dedicated. She told me it would be a dedicated run out of fl but of course its recruiting. Team is fine wth me anyway. It probably would not hurt to ride with someone who knows the ins and outs,hopefully someone that has a positive attitude:biggrin_25519:

    That I dont know yet. I am still waiting to see if my app will be approved. I will know for sure on Thurs. Don't see any issues but I think because my time with Prime was 8 years ago and no recent experience is slowing my process down. I have a clean driving record and my dac is clean so just waiting. O and she said also looking for a team mate. I am just about to call my recruiter in a few,again. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I am bugging her because I want to make sure everything is good before I drive there and something happens, beyond my control, that would send me packing. I appreciate you posting back and forth about my questions. Started a thread the other day but pretty much smart ##### answers the few I did get:cool:

    Squeaky wheel gets the grease - Exactly !

    Always remember that in this industry. People will walk all over you in this industry if you aren't your biggest advocate.

    How many days a month can you take off at USxpress? 4 or so?

    Do they expect you to work on every holiday?

    One day for every week your out.

    Since your in Georgia, you can ask about what kind of dedicated accounts the company has that can get you home daily or weekly.

    If you want a holiday off then request it off with enough notice.
     
    Mtn. Dew Thanks this.
