Scoop on USA Truck OTR and Working for them

Update, the last 2 weeks have been monsters. Almost 2k mi a week. is this what REAL truck driving is like?

I've gotten used to doing a 300 mile stint, sleeping for 2 days in a Pilot, then another 150 miles. Sometimes I get 800 miles on a friday. But the customer won't take delivery for 3 days.

Well, let's see what' s next.

 

info are you running the northeast? that area sucks for freight ask your fm to run in the midwest for a little while. i got 3400 miles last week

 

Lesse here. Michigan to Erie, Ohio to NH, Maine to philly, Allentown to VA, Newport Beach to Buffalo, turn around go to Texas, Texas to Chicago. Phew! (and I'm supposed to go home next, so probably another 1000 miles load back to NYC.

 

sounds like they have been running you pretty good. they just gave me a new fm and he almost always has me preplanned. life here is starting to get pretty good

 

USA is hit or miss, depending on YOU and your FM's relationship.

 

I have a few questions about USA Truck... I'm looking to join the company one day.. Whats the miles like now since things are slow, the pay starting out, fuel stops, the tractors, and running area... I have spoken to other drivers they seem like a good company to go with..

 

haven't been there in almost a year, but the miles WERE there

 

the miles arent as good as a year ago when you could run 3000+ paid miles a week but they have been increasing every month for the past couple of months

 

Well you maybe in training at USA with me......I recently graduated from the Indianapolis c1 campus and am going to USA on the 13th. Hope it goes well, good luck on the road.

 

Hey Garrett, I'm headed to Indy on the 13th. What was your experience like?
