USX drivers...how's your day??

Why should he be PO 4 block's is a good run. If I remember right they would pay a minimum of $50.00 for a load . I had a couple of those when I drove for USX One load I had only took me 45 min. not a bad pay

 

why was he well thy call and wake him up so he can drive 15 miles to repower a load and take it 4 blocks drop it and drive 15 miles back to markham and restart his 34hr and for all that he makes $50...... i wouldn't have done it

 

Well, I'm officially hired at US Xpress, because of the tornadoes in Chattanooga it took us 6 days instead of 4 but it's all good. What a process though, talk about hurry up and wait. I kept telling myself that there were people in the next town over of Ringgold that lost everything they had, pretty humbling. I was sent home yesterday by bus to wait for a trainer....Oh and listen up people. It's best not to smoke pot before your DOT drug test...Yes someone failed for that and was sent home..can you believe it?

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We drove through Ringgold. So awful.

Good luck on getting a trainer quickly

 

Well I'm here at Tunnel Hill.

Got in about 2 this morning with 5 other guys. Got picked up and the first thing the shuttle driver said was got some bad news, all the motels are full with people who came down to help out cleaning up after the tornado. So the 6 of us got to spend the rest of the night in the drivers lounge. Got to say though VERY nice lounge!

However means not much sleep. Since we were already at the terminal we got to do the road tests first.

Easy as pie. Had a little trouble with the 45 back but got it in there and didnt hit any trailers. Backing that auto was weird. very sluggish, at least to me anyway. Trainer said all the volvos were like that. I dunno, but I assume I passed as he didnt tell me otherwise and they went ahead and checked me into the motel.

Now just hanging out waiting till tomorrow...when the fun begins!

 

Congrats on passing the driving test, Wulfman.

Good luck tomorrow. Let me know how you make out. I'm looking very closely at USX, and will be interested in everything you have to say.

 

So we are sitting in a cute little rest area on SR2 in Northern MA just outside of Fritchburg. Picking up in the morning and heading to Indianapolis. Anne just completed the 27th iteration of the great truck reorganization quest. I believe we are close to the holy grail this time. (She can't buy much more stuff because all of the cabinets are full)

Beautiful day (even though my Mariners lost) It is so nice to be truckers again after sitting for more than a week.
