Team starting out with US Xpress

Wow,,that changes alot..
Let me ask you this; is it more like you have to keep a certain percentage? Like say 70% of the time you have to stop at suggested fuel stops? How does it work for OOR? Surely they allow a percentage? Even Schneider allows a percentage. I mean if you are come across a traffic jam and the CB is saying 3/4 hours and you find a route around the jam, you cant take it?

 

LOL,,not that big of a deal? do tell... Look, don't get me wrong, I can put up with just about anything but a screaming computer for 10 miles while I drive around a traffic jam,,,no, cant take that...LOL

 

It even says you are out of route when you are on the route...LOL

 

I hope someone can tell me that I am making a big deal out of nothing but most compnays brag about NO FORCED Dispatch, now that to me is no big deal. I have only turned down one load in my career and it was going to Canada when I couldn't go to Canada, so no problem with Forced Dispatch, just don't like to be Forced to do anything. When I drove for Schneider you had to stay at a percentage, 70% for all catagories except idle. I dont have a problem with making a phone call to get authorization to fuel somewhere,,that is normal but being screamed at by a computer is not kool. So, please tell me I am making a big deal out of nothing!

 

The computer does not scream......there is a little box that shows up stating you are out of route and then counts down the miles until you get back on route (I think you get 12 miles out and 12 miles back)......then there is a triangle that pops up and when you touch it a message comes on stating that you are out of route and a message has been sent to your FM.

I get that message and have never heard a word from my FM and have never been charged.....some drivers just call and let their FM know what the situation is.

 

okay, that is better...LOL What about multible stops, does USX have a lot of multible stop loads? and thanks again for clearing up the screaming pc thing...LOL

 

Actually, the GPS lady does kinda holler at you for not following HER route solution.....LOL......she likes to make up her own sometimes.

As far as I know, the multiple stops are just Tractor Supply and Home Depot store loads.

 

all you need to do to change fuel stops is call fuel (before you fuel) and they will change it.

going around traffic jam's is no big deal just be ready to explain why if they ask

 

Last question of the night...
What are the trucks governed at?

Thanks,
