USXpress home daily Kroger DC Delaware Ohio

did that account with USX for a week back in june of 13. was pretty good, paid good. went out to the kroger stores in ohio and michigan, then back for 10. also was good if i needed food, got the kroger card and went shopping.

 

Just wondering why you only worked that one for a week? Were you out of Delaware? They're trying to get me to come on with them, as Asphalt for Shelly out of Toledo gets slow in the winter. 950 a week is better than unemployment; just looking around. Reply appreciated; thanks!

 

Did you ever take this job, Jim? If so, any info??????? I haul asphalt mostly; some oversize concrete on a FB as well; but this slows down in Ohio in the winter, as you know. I've been offered that USX job out of Delaware, and home daily (as I am now, which is what I need due to family) and was just wondering... any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Henderson's academy is good, so I hear; but you might be beholden to them.... not sure. If USX will take you for that Kroger run out of Dellie and home DAILY ... #### good opportunity. Still not sure yet here. Looking at MYCO out of Marion, hauling for Whirlpool. As far as Swift; they are just not so "swift" so I hear. Hope Chinatown stops by and chimes in soon. Keep in touch; I'm not far from ya...... maybe we can figure this out...! PS~ good luck with school. It's not that hard. I graduated in 2004; wife working on hers!

 

was doing eastern regional and they decided to put me on that for a week. never asked why.

 

I did Kroger for FirstFleet out of the Peyton's warehouse in Cleveland TN for a while. It was pretty easy. Pick up a loaded trailer then you have anywhere from 2 to 6 stores on each route. Then pick up a back haul going back to the warehouse. I don't know about USX, but with FirstFleet the backhauls were almost always a drop n hook at the shipper, because we always picked up at the same places, then drop it at the warehouse and go home for your 10.

I just didn't like the lack of a set schedule. You never knew what time your outbound loads would leave until the night before. Might be 2 am or it might be noon. Also never knew what your day off would be. There was no way to plan for anything outside of work. Some of those stores could be real tight getting in and out too, especially the older ones (I still have nightmares about the one on Ponce de Leon Ave in midtown ATL). The money was very good too, but I have no idea what USX pays.
