US Xpress Journey

Hello everyone. I don't know if this is the right forum but I wanted to create a journey thread of my exp of starting out with US Xpress. I will be heading to Jacksonville, FL on Monday and starting Orientation on Tuesday. Then knock out the 175 hours of training with them and start teaming up. I will keep you guys posted and let you know how each day is going. Feel free to chime in or ask questions if you want.

 

Sorry I haven't been on the thread updating you guys. So after carefully consideration I did not stay with USX. There was just lies from day one. I was not getting he pay I was told which was a five cents difference. I said ok I'll stick it out. The orientation is just very unorganized. I was pending hire because of truck school verification which I had the certificate and receipt but they said they had to call they couldn't take the certificate. Two of my employers they couldn't verify one being my previous company and the other being my Reserves and I had all the documentation they needed but they said they had to call. I tried several times to provide them this documentation and they kept denying. Well after the fourth day of still nothing and I decided to leave. I don't have time to sit around and wait and not get paid. I could have been with another company and been on the road by now. It was just red flags for me since day one. I will be starting with another company on Wednesday which is the first company I wanted from day one but kept passing them along for all these other companies. This is just my experience and you have to find what you want. We all know we are being interviewed during orientation. That's what they all say but what people fail to realize is that the companies are being interviewed as well. What you do as a company and how you handle things and operate is taken into consideration when a candidate is applying at your company. Same process as they are looking at us during orientation. Whether we are paying attention or sleeping or causing a ruckus. It's an interview both ways. Just as much as you need them for employment they need you more otherwise they wouldn't be advertising hiring drivers and what not. I just didn't feel comfortable from day one. So I'm going with my guts and choosing another company. Thank you guys for the reply and I wish you guys the best of luck and stay safe on them roads. God Speed
