    I don't think so. I think it's similar to FedEx.

    We hated doing UPS because of the wait & a lot of their terminals were tight.

    58 CPM is attractive though.

    I was told by the guy at the shop in Markham that if a FedEx or Procter & Gamble load is late then US Xpress pays them a fine of $25,000. Anyone know if it's true ?

    I Had to rescue a P&G load that I was told would cost us 5k for late Del. Don't know about the 25k figure though.

    That's what I thought. No way could it be 25k. Thank you.

    Does a team need to work for USxpress for a certain amount of time before they can apply for a dedicated account? How often do dedicated accounts become available?

    USxpress is advertising a dedicated run from our home town Knoxville to New Orleans. Hubby doesn't like the thoughts of it because of New Orleans being a mean town, and he hates the "boring" drive from Knoxville to there. But I'm thinking it would be better to hire onto a dedicated account, if possible, rather than hire on to OTR. I told hubby that we could carry protection with us in New Orleans and try to get a different dedicated run when one comes open.

    We are looking at different options, looking for a different company to drive for. We are not making very good money as a team where we are at. The miles just aren't there like we hoped they would be. :biggrin_25512: And we are only making .31cpm. USxpress would be a big pay raise for us.

    Get your doubles, get 6 months in and apply to ODFL.

    I knew this would happen with W&S.

    Start at .56, .66 after 2 years.

    Jungle Drums, take it from someone from Chicago...a city with dozens of people getting shot a night. You have nothing to worry about as long as you don't go looking for trouble.
