Hope this is in the right spot. Any way I am headed out to U.S. express . I have been hearing allot of bad stuff about the big company's, but this one is one of the few that have allot of good sed about them with the bad. Anyway good to meet you all and have a good weekend.

 

It's all what you make of it, go in with a positive attitude and get your experience.
And welcome to the board, big Ole Texas howdy to you my friend. :lol:

 

:shock: aaaaaaaaargh! most companies are about the same. especially these training companies. only drawback to usexpress is automatic trannys. otherwise i have talked to lots of their drivers. generally speaking most say good company. like what was said earlier, your attitude is what is gonna make the dif, with any company. welcome to our profession. congrats on your first hire.

 

I wish you all the best Cecole. Just go in with the right frame of mind. Doesn't matter what company it is there's always some badmouthing the company and others praising it. Take care. Drive safe everyone.

 

cecole74,

Good luck! Where is US Express holding orientation?

 

I was told Dallas, That I would be put up at the Sterling Hotel until it's time to leave. I spoke the Recruiter yesterday and it all sounds good so far. I am a bit spooked by reports I have read about this company getting you up there and then telling you "never mind". This is my second Company and I just want it to work out. I was with Stevens for almost six weeks but they sed that it shouldn't matter that I left them as long as there was no accidents or DUI type issues.

 

Yes indeed Congratulations on making with Us-Xpress =). 8)

 

So they are good for the most part then ? They seem ok. They dont get dogged as bad as some of the others do.

 

I hardly ever hear anything bad about them. They do have decent trucks, they mainly drive the Volvo 780s i believe. I know that is what I mostly see out there on the road for USX. I know at swift to get one of those you have to be a team. Also there trucks go I believe 68mph. They pass me I know that lol..... BOL to ya

 

Just want to get going. Sick of waiting. I also hear that you don't have to work with them for ever to get the dedicated stuff. I am hoping I can get the limited local one Houston, San Antonio,DFW. I aint holding my breath but it would be nice. The wife and kids hope I can get that one to.
