Default us xpress

there is a us express driver in my area that I swear has his truck setting at Mcdonalds where he parks it more then he drives it. So my question is any Ideas what kind of run he is on I swear the truck has been the 14 of the last 28 days . the only reason I am asking is if it pays good it would be a good job to have. yes i checked the truck number and its the same truck. I am located in ohio in a little town between columbus and wapak called russells point

He's probably a local driver out of the medway ohio term.

How odd you should post that because there is a USX driver living in my apt. complex and his truck doesn't move for about 2-3 weeks at a time. Then he's out for about 4 and back in. My husband would love that job! Don't know how he pays his bills, but he sure doesn't work much. He also uses the truck as his personal vehicle, driving it around town for errands. (We live in a very small town) Last summer, he was arrested at Wal-Mart, with his wife for being under the influence of narcotics (I mean he was REALLY out of it!). He was in the company truck and still has a job! :shock:

This doesn't add up, instant loss of CDL for this arrest.

He could also be working on the Dollar General that U.S. Xpress has out of Zanesville. Talked to some of the drivers about the account and the only complaints were about having to unload for that account. But the unloading isnt hard for the D.G accounts because the boxes are put into big shopping carts then wheeled to the back of the truck. Usually with the D.G account those guys are home for 2 days then back out. The runs seem decent but the pay for some of the runs is crap.
