    Would like to hear your thoughts about USX teaming!
    What are your avg miles? Are you happy with the company? Benefits? Can you accumulate your days off? Etc.... You know what I'm searching for! My husband and I are thinking of moving over from Conway but don't want to make a wrong decision! Any advice is much much appreciated!

    Experienced team,

    you can go about anywhere, and make some serious money.

    I just consider USX as a starter/intermediate company.

    No offense intended.

    Good Luck !!

    Thanks for your input... Just testing the waters....48cpm and 5000 sign on is kind of enticing..... If our miles pick up we will be happier! Thanks for input!!!!!
     
    123456 Thanks this.

    We are an experienced team and had everyone eating out of our hands. We ended up going with a mom and pop firm that lets us choose our own loads on links etc and the mileage is fantastic plus we make our own hours.
    Just an idea but I too think USX would be a step back

    Is there currently a sign on bonus?

    Yes there is a bonus.

    In these economic times, with tens of thousands of unemployed drivers,

    USX has a hiring bonus.

    Does that not raise any questions in your mind ???

    Yes there is a $5000 sign on...And we were told .48/cpm. I don't know if there is the sliding scale pay for teams but I'm guessing yes and that would suck! After much research and speaking with many USX drivers this company is not for us. We will stay where we are... Just seeing if something out there is better. Never hurts to look. Our only complaint with Conway is our miles are way down but hopefully with spring around corner things will pick up. They treat there drivers with much respect and that means alot.
