    I have recently applied for a U.S. Express and the recruiter is trying to get me to come to Tunnel Hill, Ga for a 3 day orientation. I am going for the family dollar account that just opened up coming out of Gulfport, MS. He has told me that you will make around $900 a month and also home weekly. I am really wanting to hear from someone who has actually dealt with U.S. Express and knows how things work. Home time is a big thing for me considering I now have an 8 month old. I am fully aware of driving O.T.R. because I have already done that and left cause of my daughter. Thank you so much in any advance for help.

    Check Cardinal Logistics, maybe they have openings in your area. Probably make more pay weekly and most freight is no-touch. Most of their accounts are home daily or weekends.

    It's US Xpress. That 900 is gross, not net. Dedicated accounts have their own dispatchers so you won't have to deal with load planners and fms like with otr. Tunnel Hill is a decent terminal.
