USA Truck

Well did you get your 6 months in?

I stayed away from them because I knew better. Hamsters on a wheel, I like that. I'd told them to kiss my arse. I'm not trading trucks so you can give me someone else's problem. That was a bad move by them. Unless they knew you were good a finishing them off and that's what they wanted.
Good luck anyways.

 

Two miles a gallon? Are you burning it or leaking it?

 

See the problem was he was putting GAS in

 

They prob need drivers really bad lol I got a call back from them the next morning when I put in my application the night before. I've seen them on the road a few times in my state and I mean from passing them on the highway their equipment looks better then most companies that you see.

After reading this post I don't really know if I should go with them after all.

 

How about 4 transmissions that can't be replaced?! You can tell this is just some bs post from another angry driver. Save it for the dinner counter pal.

 

For one, a transmission can be replaced. But to have 4 of them go out, that's gotta be driver stupidity. Maybe nobody told him how to float gears and he's just stepping on the clutch and ramming it like you do in a stick-shift pickup truck. Or maybe he's flipping the range selector down to the low side while he's still rolling at 60 mph in nuetral.
$100 a week? I doubt that part too.
The OP just joined and this was his first post. I think it's a fly-by.

 

Gotta tell ya, seems far fetched to me. Another contract holder with buyers remorse.

I see these guys here at USA all the time, they think this is sight seeing tour, with no responsibility. When they do complete a load, they forget to, fail to, or just don't scan their bills/logs and they get........"HELD RESPONSIBLE "! Oh no, someone actually expects you to do your job.

With the volume of drivers here, the ones that are sitting on the side lines are the typical problem children. Who has time to deal with that? With all the other things going on here,there are still investors that expect a return on their monies so they company is moving freight with the drivers that work.

As for the equipment.....my truck is one of the oldest in the fleet and I have little problems with it. Not to say our maintenance department is great, they are not, however, 4 trucks in a row with transmission problems? Possible, but the driver has something to do with this case I suspect. My truck idles/operates 98% of the time, no apu (icon does not work), I average 6 mpg.

.25 per mile is the lowest starting pay. The .11 he is claiming sounds like he chose that substance subsistence, tax free thing they have here. While it was more than likely an uninformed choice mar at orientation, no less a choice. One phone call to payroll will take care of that.

this story does not pass the smell test......sorry, if you chose to come here, SUCK IT UP AND QUIT EXPECTING FOLKS TO FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR DECISION.

 

i lold @ 11 cpm, garbage machines and 2mpg
