    I work for them back 2001 thur 2002 never will work for them again. They will make you go Bronx, queens, China Town, They are force Dispatch. They will run you into the ground. I never could get any sleep the dam qualcom keeps going off every few seconds. dispach on qualcom wanting way that trucks not moving. Any though you have run 700 miles with out a break. I do run very hard but when your tried you need to pull it over and rest. But they care less about you. Home time is joke. So I wish you guys all luck in the world. Back then I had about five years over the road

    sevenmph,

    Yea, I'm haring the same things. I'll be glad to update as I can. I leave tomorrow and I'm not taking a computer with me, so it may be a few weeks before you hear back. I'll see if my wife wants to post for me. I should be talking to her quite a bit. She's been reading some of this. We're both learning a lot.

    hard to believe with all that has been heard that a company would say no NYC, because if their going to make money there, you'll be going...

    Hi lookingup,

    I can't remember where I read the same thing about NYC. Seems like it was on their website, or maybe something a recruiter said. Anyway, the story I heard is you might deliver to NY, but not in NYC at all. Supposedly, they want to keep their drivers out of there to keep them from waisting valuable time. They said anything inside of NYC is contracted to some local companies that specialize in city deliveries, and USA Truck simply delivers to these specialty delivery companies (outside of the city).
    Time will tell... I obviously can't give first hand info, since I'm just starting tomorrow.

    When you think about it, places outside the city and over in NJ might be just about as bad as in the city, but it sounds like they are trying to keep you moving!?!?
