Variant /US Xpress

That tells me nothing....I don't know who Eric Fuller is.

 

Is Variant a lease purchase division of US Xpress?

 

If you can't afford a beater car you need a new job.
It also gives you transportation when your killing time
At terminal for whatever reason.

I've seen to many drivers sitting on the curb
With all that stuff from inside the truck,
Trying to find a way home after being let go.

Most didn't expect it, and didn't have even enough
Money to get home.
It's embarrassing.

OTR drivers don't have to work for the
Company down the street.
We can work anywhere for anybody.

If you like in the country,like I do,
You might have 2 or 3 trashy,low paying jobs
Within driving distance.
They can pay bottom wages because they there's
Nothing else around.

If you want a real job making real money
Your gonna have to commute.
It's only a once a month commute
Back and forth, not every day.

I live 4 hours from my terminal,
I got car sitting there and one at home.
We got drivers who live twice as far as me.
They do the same thing.

We know how this trucking stuff works,
So we stay prepared.
Never trust anybody who owns a truck.

Only new drivers, who haven't learned yet,
Get put out on the curd, broke, with all their belongings.
My first company, put me out there,
Even after I finished my year contract.

I learned real quick, after sitting at a open bus stop,
At 2am, in pouring rain, with all that stuff, in the middle
Of nowhere, that they just don't give a dam about drivers.
When your done, your own your own.

They never got me twice.

 

Got home to soothing words of “so glad you’re home baby, here’s your binkie and blanket. Did that mean mega carrier upset you?”

See the typos in there?
Murphys Law in action...

 

no company drivers only no lease or 0/0

 

Eric is the son of 1 of the founders Max Fuller....
Daddy Max gave him a few startup trucking companies inside us xpress over the years... each one he ran them into the ground to the point daddy had to step in each time and sell them off for a loss... so now that daddy retired Eric with all his business since is running us xpress

 

Just Curious:
Was Your Son Out FOR 2 Complete Months With ZERO HOME TIME??
Even IF he didn't get FIRED, How Would He Have Gotten Home For Home Time??
You Would Have Picked Him Up & Then Returned Him To Terminal Therein Dropping Him Off OR He Would Had To Of "Found A Way Home And Back After A 34+"??

Speculative Assessment:
I Believe What The Real Deal Was Is That Your Son Was Lamenting and Expected Things To Be Better.
Dispatchers JUST LOVE WHINERS and Such Activities Usually Result In DIMINISHED LOADS Or Significantly Shorter Hauls To Long Waiting Times at Load/Unload Facilities, Which Encourage Statically Significant Excessive Whining.
Dispatchers Are Changed Until No More Dispatchers Available, Then, Usually, Termination Of Driver(s).

I Used To Whine And Moan In Trucking For Years Until I Aligned Self To A Company Full Of Whiners and We Got Along Rather Well, For A While, Then Found A Local Gig And Continued Long Haul To Eventual Short Haul Then No Haul = Retired.

 

They have company driver positions usx is going dedicated and variant is the otr. i think it is a covid variant.
