Starting with USX on Monday 8/8/11

I applied via internet app sunday,,was sent an email saying they got it and who will be doing the app check...

I agree with you TruckerGSCH...I always grab somethiing while going under the trailer, to me that is much safer than not. Like to be safe..

 

I just received a verbal pre-hire today from US Express. Recruiter came in last week and gave us some info. Said they no longer force team driving. I did a little research and it seems to be true. They also claim to have a short training period. (That's provided you can drive and past a test after the first three weeks of training.) Is the duck walking test basically squatting down and going 5 feet under the 42" rope? Also if I go with them I will go to the Tunnel Hill terminal.

 

I have over 3 yrs exp and live just west o Chattanooga... I will be starting when they say and then when the wife graduates college, she will be joining me...thats the plan anyway..LOL Do they do orientation at the Chattanooga term?

 

Tunnel Hill GA, 25 miles South of Chattanooga

 

Anyone know how long the Orientation is for experienced???

Thanks in advance

 

Orientation is the same for everybody.....it's the time out with a trainer that is different and that is based on whether you are a student, driver with previous experience, how long ago that experience was.......time with trainer can be anywhere from 50 hrs to 150 hrs.....one week to 5 weeks.....totally dependant on the miles and if the truck is in the shop or your trainer goes home or you are doing a 34 hour reset, etc.
