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

just curious how much driving your getting during your training period,their internet ad says you have yo do 150 hrs,how many weeks is that gonna work out to be for you

 

I did 160 hours in right around 3 weeks, and my friend did his around 4 weeks. He was on a dedicated run where they did a lot of deliveries and un loading the trailer.

 

that's 150 hr's of YOU driving, about 3-4 weeks

 

Hey Flood, how is the semi-independant business owner thing working out for you?

we have only made 2 runs so far but we are happy.

 

welcome aboard

 

Congratulations! Best of luck moving forward.

 

Most people take about 2 1/2 days to upgrade. Lots of waiting. The written test and route planning take about 3 or 4 hours (easy) and you will have training on the driver tech and e-logs. You will also drive the simulator and you will do your backing and driving test. If you were the only one, done in a day easy but you are not so it will take longer.

 

Sitting at the Flying J in "Peculiar Missouri" Gotta love the name, we are just South of Kansas City. We are hanging out after a great week and picking up in Edwardsville in the morning picking up at Fedex a load that will be repowered in Denver for our home time.
