Quick rundown on USA Truck

You'll get a call from safety to go to a terminal. If you keep doing they'll shut you down and eventually fire you.

I had a sunvisor break off and obstruct the camera. They put a safety hold on me that would not allow me to be dispatched until it gets fixed.

 

The Texas regional has changed so much since I did it that I barely know anything about it now. Last I heard they were on $250 a day flat rate pay. They had a questionable dispatcher for a bit, but they got a new guy I don't know anything about.
The people at the Laredo terminal are great, I've seen a lot of changes but they are consistently some of the best people I've ever worked with. However, there's one issue you need to know. We have a bunch of B1 guys that take most of the Laredo loads. You might have trouble getting home when you need to. We used to have a shuttle run where a guy from Laredo and a guy from Dallas would meet up in San Marcos, swap trailers, and go back home (same setup as PAM or CFI or Ryder). They just disbanded them a few weeks ago so that has opened up some more Dallas to Laredo runs.
If you decide to come over here and get on the load board, just shoot me a PM. I'll cut you in on my tactics and preferred places to find loads back to Laredo. I've got the system down to the point that I'm home once a week. I can count on two hands (maybe one hand) the number of times I did a 34 on the road last year.

Orientation would probably be at the Waxahachie terminal. Travel would probably be that express greyhound bus that runs from Laredo to Dallas. I think we do orientation for B1 in Laredo, don't know about CDL guys. I did my orientation at the Memphis terminal before the Waxahachie terminal even existed and before we ever had B1 guys, so you'd have to talk to a recruiter about that one.

As far as NY, do you mean NYC or NY state? I don't know of any of our loads that deliver in NYC. Closest I've seen is a load to Yonkers was on the board once. We do some loads to central NY state around Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, etc. I just saw two of them on the board that went up north of Albany near Vermont.
You probably will see some NJ, we have a bunch of those. We also have a few loads to MA and if you end up in eastern TN near Loudon there's a decent chance you might be going to CT. I used to see some loads to NH, ME, and even Quebec but I haven't seen those in a while.
Coming out of Laredo you're going to see a lot of stuff to Dallas, Houston, Tennessee, and Georgia. Dallas is a mixed bag of different deliveries, Houston will be almost all 24/7 drop and hook at a single customer, Georgia will usually be Walmart in Lagrange, and Tennessee will be a mix of different drops anywhere in the state. We usually get decent freight out of Laredo, even the shorter loads tend to be quick drops.
