us express orientation!!! needing help

Dude Ill be honest. If you make good enough money and are satisfied why leave? Obviously you are content or you would have chosen someone else before going back to where you quit from.

To answer your question, You are not hired until you get keys to a truck. I have seen guys get through a couple days of orientation before getting sent home so it could happen at anytime to any driver.

 

are you in good physical shape.usexpress makes you crawl underneath a trailer walking like a duck.they do have a serious physical test

 

Keep your job. US Express isn't worth the crap. They have their own doctors there. They sent me home because my right shoulder ached. They wanted a letter from my doctor. Screw that.

 

You need to decide on a career choice. Constantly changing your mind will get you nowhere.

 

I can not change my mind I have been trucking so long I do not have one!

 

Another thing is I would go to star before I went to US Express. They are one of the worst bottom feeders you will find. It will compare to going with werner.

 

The industry has been serving itself for many yrs. If you find a co that you like, it'll change driving you to work for someone else. However, you were'nt there long enough to become vested in their pension program. You lose, they win. You will speak with many drivers whom fallen victim to the industry.
I did orientation with u.s.x. and working hand in hand with the federal gov't,,,,They sucker drivers into taking what they call "per diem". They throw the bait out there by asking whom all would like another hu ndred dollars aweek? Heck ,,who don't. However, IT comes at a very high price! They go on to tell you that it comes from your social security weekly deduction. MMM. when your'e old and can't work and rely on soc sec and find out that it pays out what you paid in and that you opted out for "per diem". No driver gets rich and someday a union organization will save the american worker. for now, follow the american alligator, when the pond gets smaller, downsize! stay put until you're vested. No per diem. don't worry,,,be happy mon. If you take rx for a cold,,,don't drive.
