Retired Veterans Beware US Xpress

Just to help, let me clarify a couple things that's a given.
(1) recruiters lie. Sometimes they can't help it they're not trained very good haven't been with the company very long and aren't smart enough to ask somebody if they don't know. They'll tell you pretty much whatever it takes.

(2) dispatchers will push you to you drop they don't care about you getting a ticket. Once you realize the whole world revolves around them and start treating them like the self-entitled princesses they are, your life may be easier.
you got to learn to stand up to dispatchers to a certain extent. if they're asking you to do something that's going to violate your HOS or is a unsafe situation. just tell them NO you can't do that. take a minute to explain to them why you can't do that the way they want it done. If you end up getting fired because of that it's probably for the best.

I have only been on this site for a little while but it seems like every day there's at least one thread about a recruiter lied or my dispatcher is a jack-butt.
Good luck, and thank you for your service to our country!

 

recruiters lie........never that just a vicious rumor start by those safety conscious truck driver what to life and see the next day ........and the princesses never understand cause they never had to hold the wheel and work the the gears.. they type and #####

 

@88 Alpha .

 

Yup spoke to a recruiter...no respect for drivers as soon i picked up the phone...all the drivers i spoke too even sayed these guys are a joke...only reason there working there is just for next month so they can leave to a better job....like Walmart...69 cpm...yes you hurd it.

 

And with Walmart you can also get discounts as an employee

 

thank you for your service
if your starting out in mega trucking you gotta put the "pre planned" family vacations on hold and keep your assigned unit cleaned
once you got some experience you can make some demands and get a good job with a pension and benefits when you retire
