    I would think if you have an employee number, you have been hired. They do not check any of that stuff before hand, because of all the people that do not show up for orientation. What you are doing is very typical of how USX does this stuff. If I were you, I would be happy that I was not on a bus for a day and half to meet up with a trainer. Also if you have your number and you have the information on the mods you have to do on the internet then I would use this time to knock them out. I forget what they call them as it has been a while.

    I'm curious as to know if there is a fee for having a passenger (such as a wife)

    Hi HD_Renegade I am a first seat with experience so I am waiting on a truck not doing any training. I don't need to watch the mods. I feel sorry for the guy that has to ride the bus for N. Carolina going to be a long couple days for him. T-Mac I can't remember the cost but it was minimal? $10 a week maybe? Sorry I can't remember if and when I find out I will let you know here. Thanks guys be safe! :biggrin_255:

    JB, sorry to hear of your frustrations. I was hoping that things would be better, so I will keep my fingers crossed for ya. My hubby went to MN, and will start his orientation tomorrow with D&T trucking. It is a small company, instead of these bigger ones because it always seems that things go great in the beginning, but then you find out differently.

    Well glad that you get to spend time with your wife and doggy..

    Have a good week to the both of you.

    Well you are blaming USX, but it is a past employer that is holding you up. Legally they cannot hire you until they have verified your past employment. That is a federal regulation. HD was correct. They don't do a complete background check until someone actually shows up.

    Hello folks! Don't get me wrong, yes I am a bit frustrated I am also very excited to get in a USX truck and start making some $$$. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions. I do understand now that they had to wait for me to show up before doing the checks. So here it is Monday morning I'll give them a call and see if they have any info for me. Although I probably wont hear any good news until later today or tomorrow. Thanks again everyone I hope you're all safe out their thoughts and prayers go out to everyone on the East coast!

    Hey jb i worked for usx for a while. It was a pretty decent company, but as.with all it depends on where you are and your dm. I had a husband/wife team that got yanked.around and unfortunately they ended up quitting. I hope things go well for you, but.if you get your time in i would recommending going somewhere else. I've been with Barr Nunn for 5a yrs now...lovin it!
