I've been contacted by US Xpress NUMEROUS times and don't know much about them other than that their trucks are red Freightliners. lol.

I've been offered a $2000.00 sign on bonus and $0.43/mile. A good rider policy that includes pets is another reason I'm considering them.

Can anyone point me to a thread about them or give me any opinions/info?

Ooops I found a couple of threads. My bad, I was searching for EXPRESS instead of XPRESS!

Good Luck, looking to get back on the road?
Best Regards

Hey TP! All is well here and I hope like-wise with you!!! Yeah I'm getting the itch BAD again! I'd LIKE to go back to TMC but will have to talk to them about possibly "bending" the pet policy.
Also, I've been dating my g/f for a year now and she wants to ride along too so I'll have to see about the wife ONLY policy.
If all else fails I'm open to suggestions on other companies!!!
Stay safe and Be Well,
Fred

I prefer a Peterbilt 379 with a 13 speed, in black and chrome, but they don't allow girlfriends or pets.

A year is long enough, make an honest woman out of her. One problem solved. I don't see the pet policy changing.

Well Terry, my girlfriend is OFFICIALLY a fan of yours now. LOLOL

US Xpress is a great starter company but you will find yourself in alot of railroad yards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was the many reason why i quit and they would not next my columbia. it had an A/C problem and kept freezing. Took it to the shop, both FL and yard shop, multiple time with no success.

they had a good auto trans when i was there and paid very well. the sliding scale helped alot. you could do 2 sometimes three short trips and get PAID!!!

the now have some T600 i see.

good luck

Fred, Xpress also has some dang nice Volvo's. Don't know what they have on the inside but from what I hear the Volvo's base model is about like the other's top of the line models. :wink: Never drove one myself but that's what I hear from people who have drove one, they absolutely love them.
