    OK Guys Help! I left Usa a few months agoe due to them not paying me down time. I have been driving for another company and have no real compliants with them other than the fact they want to run me northeast most of time. I have talked to a few drivers from USA and they tell me that if someone wants to run regional now that they can do so. I live in the southeast and would love to run south east regional if possible. Please let me know if things are any diffrent as being better and if it is possible to run regional .

    They'll run you what they call regional, but they can still probably stick you up in the NorthEast at times...

    When I drove for USA Truck I spent at least half my time either in the Chicago or northeast area. I define northeast as a general line from the Baltimore area through Philadelphia on north to the canada line. No forced NY city dispatch and when I could keep my truck running I made some good (not great) money. I think if you want to go back this is a good thing, at least in your case you seem to be aware of the dynamics in place there and have made a conscious decision to return. I hope you good running and make lots of money.
