Well my first week at USA truck was great and 2nd one is also good. But one thing I really like is we did not get the useless safety stand down messages the first week I worked here. That is one thing I really liked is USA would not send you worthless messages while you are driving. When I was with Swift and Werner we got these messages at least 3 to 4 times a day.
It is annoying, you are driving down the road and a "New Message has Arrived". So you think it may be important, so you pull off at the next rest area only to find out some dude is telling you "Please don't follow the vehicle in front of you to close"... yada, yada, yada.
Don't they know that most accidents don't happen when you are driving down the road, they happen entering freeways, in parking lots, in cities with heavy traffic, etc... So what do they do, they send you a message to distract you.
I hope USA sees the error of their ways and don't follow the other Mega Carriers by overloading drivers with stupid messages we already know. Heck you drive down any freeway and you see they same stupid messages they are putting on the Qualcomm. Missouri has a safety message every 10 miles on the interstate.

To me, home time and family are more important than money. If I can make a living and have a little time with my family that is good. If I am barely making a living and gone all the time, that is not a life my friend...
Why the negative reply anyway, we were not talking about me. The topic is excessive qualcomm messages.Boston_Tankers_Girl, Skull_Leader, heyns57 and 1 other person Thank this. -

I can listen to messages going down the road on the Qualcom. Push one button and a sexy womans voice reads it to me.

You can just shut off the engine while going down the road, check your messages then restart the truck while in motion. There's an added benefit as well; it also shuts off the fuel gov so you can then push the limits. Does this sound crazy? Believe it or not, I have one of the safest records on the road. LOL, little does anybody know half of the stunts I'm unknown to pull.
