    I last posted about an offer from HMD, and upon mulling it over and reading input from you guys, I’ve decided to pass on it. However, that wasn’t the end of the line. I know I’m still fairly new to the Class A gang, and I know I’m gonna have to pay my dues at a “starter company,” and I have decided to go with US Xpress. I’ve read the good, the bad, and otherwise as far as reviews from drivers, but after speaking with a recruiter, they offer what fits my needs at this point in time as far as miles, home time, etc., and there’s a terminal about an hour and a half from me in Dallas. I know I’m not gonna come in here and make a million dollars a year with any company, but they offered what I need. Thank you to everyone who commented and offered insight and advice, especially you, ChinaTown. Y’all have a blessed day and be safe out there.

    HMD was league's better over US xpress.

    But, rookies will make rookie mistakes.

    Hope you're able to embrace the suck you're about to feel at us xpress.

    At one point in my otr career, I saw TWO us xpress trucking running from cops in one year.
