Looking at U.S. Xpress, northeast

I'm on the regional account, been with them for some time now. Mileage is good and pay is about same as many other companies. I do like the equipment I just switched from the automatic back to a manual Trans. I'm usually home Friday sometime and head out Monday morning. Only complaint I have is the idle restriction. They are pretty strict about idling and I am just talking about during my ten or eight hour break. I'm dispatched out of the shippensburg terminal.
I have come across my share of break downs but who isn't when you run equipment all time. It's forced dispatch and they give you the route you have to take and were you'll be fueling. I have never turned down a load and sometimes I've even been given a straight 500 mile run which is sometimes hard to get when your in the Northeast regional. You do get the miles it's just a lot of short trip miles. I've done a few 1000 mile runs.

This is just my experience with them of course not everyone has same experience. My advice don't go in with too high of expectations.

 

howdy neighbor. if youve looked at maines, have you also looked at willow run? also, id look into heartland express for regional in this area, think their pay is superior to most others. youd be running outta carlisle pa i think.

 

No ,this is what it says on their website.
