    I've been trying to get ahold of DS but all I get is their voicemail and no call back. Same thing with USA Truck. I need my certificate of completion from the school I went to for some of the companies I've applied for. I guess I'm going to just have to keep their phones ringing, huh?

    The problem with that is they won't give it to you until they are paid in full. Try other companies that will hire you as a student such as PAM, SWIFT, SCHNEIDER, CRST, WERNER. I believe most of them will continue your agreement with DS. Oh and STEPHENS..

    I am going to work for usa next monday. I have 17 months experience and will be started at .34 cpm. I am curious if usa drivers are getting decent miles in the 22-2800 miles range and if the company is doing better since they have restructured the company? Any info would be appreciated just curious if usa drivers are getting decent miles and how the company and fleet managers treat you. How does the hometime play out how is breakdown and layover pay? I asked the recruiter these queations but just wanted some usa drivers info on these matters too. Thanks and ve safe please shoot me some info drivers:)
