    i believe the recent experience is insurance co driven
    though the starter companies dont want to pay because they haul cheap freight
    thier buisness model is upside down compared to common sense but
    with write offs for students and vets it must work for them

    Training for US Xpress should only be a little over two weeks.

    I'm not sold on the quality of Western Express drivers. I rarely see them driving in a professional manner. And I watched as a team (both sitting in the truck) tried to parallel park against a curb on the left side. The driver ran the trailer up on the curb, pulled forward, then backed onto the curb again and would have taken down a light pole if I hadn't waved at them to stop. It was at that point that the passenger decided to get out and spot. And they STILL gave up after about 30 minutes, parked in the entrance lane blocking one of the fuel pumps, and waited for another spot to open up. The manager of the Pilot made them move after about 2 hours because they were blocking the pump.
