    dont be in a hurry to jump right in
    i was with usa truck it was my first job i stayed there 6 months just long enough to have the experince required by most companys
    usa truck for the most part was ok they didnt get me home for turkey day and was stuck in ohio for christmas
    just dont jump to the first company that shows you intrest
    wait for the good ones like averitt they are a good company
    usa truck will keep you sittin and you wont get any miles
    if you go with usa you beeter stay at least 4 months or they take the price of bus ticket and oreintaion out of you last check so be ware the book has a lot of stories in it dont judge it by its cover good luck and be safe

Out of the 15 in my class 6 of us graduated on Tues from C1 and 2 of us graduated from State on the same day. I will be going to USA Truck on Mon Aug 9 for orientation. Anyone else going to be there?

    WV, Are you staying at the Ramada? I thought I saw some C1 students here. I am # INDY doing orientation with SNI, and they have us here just a mile or so away from their OC.
