Question:
Wondering if anyone trained with US Express, how much mileage did you get as a trainee..

Answer:
I think it's safe to say it would vary for each person.
I only recall of knowing a few people that work for U.S. Xpress that post here. Maybe they will come across this thread and provide the information you need. Good luck.

Answer:
Don't know about trainees, but my friend worked for them a few years back and was averaging around 2500 miles per week. I think they're starting pay is around .24 cpm, which is on the low side. Going to Xpress as a newbie might hurt you because they run strictly auto-trannies.
First year, my friend made $28,000. Second year he made $32,000. Never made it to his 3rd year because he jumped to greener pastures (I got him in with our company).

Answer:
In my opinion if you have no experience I wouldn't recommend going to U.S. Xpress because they will train you on an automatic. Which will do you no good if you ever switch jobs.
If you really want to work there, go to a local school get trained on a manual, then try to hire on with them.
I'm sure it would make things easier in the long run.

Answer:
He told me ''new drivers get more miles than experenced ones.Its cheaper for them to pay newbes, less pay per mile!

Answer:
I can't begin to remember the miles my driver made during training. He went through an accredited course at the local college, then hired on with one company. They burned him bad. Then he switched to USXpress ... took a year off, and went back to them. He is very happy with USXpress ... but that is just one drivers opinion. And by the way, my driver likes the automatics -- esp. in heavy traffic, but then he is one of those drivers that can drive anything he is given the keys to!!

Answer:
US Express trained me on (what's called ) a super 10. Not in an automatic. We averaged about 3000-3500 miles a week. My bring home pay after taxes was anywhere from $1,200.00-$1,800.00 per week.
If I could be with them again , I would. I had NO problems with them at all.

Answer:
How does your driver like the automatic on mountain driving and in the snow? How would he compare it to a manual transmission?
Thanks for the info...!

I have to take a class in this new math thing
or a creative writing course called"change my story" to make it somewhat believable.

Answer:
6000 miles time .50cpm is $3000.00 now a team would split that,thus each getting $1500.00 before taxes,take home would be about $1,000.00
