Was I wrong for quitting US Xpress?

my my how mind sets change.i did just fine training as a team driver.heck my first day in the truck i drove night shift.guess i better not say i drove close to 14 hours and 650miles either,you might explode.
i have to add that the trainer taught me pretty good too.plenty of time to learn if you really want to learn it.

 

sorry our country has been producing ####### since the 80's.it's only getting worse.next thing they will complain about is,"you mean i have to drive the truck"?wow im being mistreated the gall of that company mom,they said i had to drive...it's ok dear go file for your foodstamps and cash asst so you can help mommy with the bills now,yes dear your room has'nt been touched since you left last week.!!

 

Sad how many people think Swift OR US XPress are even REMOTELY worthwhile options.

Unfortunately, nobody knows how to sign up with the tiny companies that are worth a ####.

 

i have a couple opinions on this.

First I am amazed at how many people are willing to let a company roll over them in such a bad way to get a job. Wonder why jobs are paying less and less and giving little to no respect anymore.

Second, if you didn't like that way of getting there why not find your own way there?

driving crap equip, taking runs no one wants, long hours, these are dues to be paid. sleeping in a bus station (if true) is not paying dues, it's allowing someone to have a negative impact on your life for no reason other then to prove they can. Prove you deserve a job with good work ethics but not being someone's chump who will do anything to get a job.

If it were me, I would have had a friend drive me up, flew up, got a motel etc. plenty of options.

 

Well put. You are right on point with your post.

 

when i trained drivers i did the 50/50 with them, meaning they drove at night, just too get used too it and they drove in all kinds of weather and stuff
