Answer:
I appreciate everybodys comments.I know most of you guys already know what its like to start out in the trucking business.I know it will be a complete turn around from what i've ever done before,i also know it won't be easy learning all the things that i will have to prepare myself to deal with.My life in textiles was'nt a gravy train,i hope i can adjust to the demands that i know a lot of folks will put on you in this business.I think i got a little ideal from all the things i've read from other folks on this web site.I'll try to keep in touch with every body on here as to how everything is going with me and the trucking world.I want to thank all you guys for sharing your thoughts on this with me.Keep On Trucking Good Buddies !!

Answer:
Good luck with your decision. I don't remember hearing bad things about any USF companies.
I'll also add a piece of advice to a Newbie
because nobody else has. Drop the "GOOD BUDDY"
from you're trucking venacular,it's offensive
to some Hetrosexual truckers.

Answer:
My next door neighbor drives for Glen More, he seems to be happy with them. He likes to run so he stays out sometimes for two to three weeks, but if he wants home time they arrange it for him.They seem to try to take care of there drivers. His wife had to have back surgey and he was up north. They brought him into the nearest terminal and tried to find him a load heading to knoxville. They couldn't find a load so they had him bob-tail back to knoxville so he would be home when is wife went into surgrey.He also gets to bring his truck home with him. Best of luck with your new job

Answer:
Are you having to relocate or will they get you a load toward laurens a couple of times a week?

Answer:
Good to see some body on here from S.C.,in answer to your question,they did'nt say any thing about relocating,told me that with the southeast regional run i could get home at least a couple days a week,did'nt tell me how that would workout.I know i will be working out of the knoxville tennesee terminal,they asign you a truck to keep all the time.Good luck if you decide to try and get on with them.Ken

Thanks for the advice on dropping the good buddy thing,i sure don't want to offend anybody on here,this has become my favorite web site.I appreciate all the the advice and help i can get with my career change.Thanks again! Ken

Answer:
Very good choice! The family of companies operating under US Freightways has for the most part had postitive relations with drivers. I know several guys who work for USF Holland (80% of USF Freightways revenue and the only unionized company in USF) and another guy who works for USF Distribution. The only problem I've heard of is from USF Processors (a company that was formed to handle customer returns) but that company was being mismanaged and they are getting their act back together there.
