    Where are those little tiny windows? I never saw them in Omaha. Just curious, not trying to start an issue, just wondered...

    Thats easy to say, while you sit back in your comfy chair, but Forums are a place for people to come together and discuss situations. And now and then, VENT. Have you ever sat there and said to someone "I'm gonna Kill you"? It didnt mean that you were going to do it, just that you were upset. Now I am pretty sure that people here on the forum are not going to go postal at USX but they still need to vent cuz they are upset.

    Ahhh... must have been the only thing I didn't see then. Since you know about those windows, have you been in the main lobby or the conference room? Incredible to see.

    Thinking it is one thing, posting it in open forum is another thing entirely.

    We have our rules here, set down by the site OWNER.

    WE spend our days and nights enforcing those rules.

    Learn to vent without posting threats, or according to the rules, action will be taken.
     
    Mastertech and Baack Thank this.

    I just called USX they said they are not hiring solos or new students. Who knows what there doing. The recruiter was very cold!

    Their video on the website must be old. On it they talk about how they are expanding their fleet while others are cutting back to better position themselves for a turn around in freight.

    But I have heard several say they where sitting at home waiting for a truck so they might already have a backlog of fresh meat.
