    Can anyone share their experience with US Express Enterprises? Are they good to work for? Do you really get 5000+ miles as a team a week as they promise and 0.48 cpm of the start?

    Nice equipment, 67 to 70mph, team can get more than that depends on how hard yall run, they promise 0.48 cpm this may be a scam they don't pay that much unless it's a new pay rate if they give you a job just take it and worry about everything else later, good luck.

    We work at US Xpress. 48 CPM for teams with Hazmat. You can do 5,000+ consistently if you get on a dedicated account. We do around 5,000-6,000. Teams get newer trucks. US Xpress has both 10 speed and automatics.Check out the USX on this website. It has all the answers your seeking.

    The doctor gives you a BMI questionnaire to fill out. I think if you check off 2 or more then you have to do the sleep study. So don't check off more than 2. That's how it was for us in Chicago. Each terminals doctor could be different.

    So basically all that is a bs advertising what they do. Because it says 45-48 cpm for team drivers and with hazmat up to 70cpm.
