USA TRUCK first two week review for dedicated Georgia pacific. Comment down below the challenges you had to face when you first started working for a company.
Good luck to you. Hope it works out with this company. Sorry to hear about the communication btwn you and them. I saw that they’re looking for regional drivers out of my State near where I live here in NJ so I found your channel to see what I can learn about USA T. from a driver’s point of view, you know, the truth. Glad to find you. Hope it’s better now then at the time you made this video. I guess I’ll find out as I watch your videos.
I apologize I’m just seeing your comment and thank you for watching, I recommend that you rely on taking initiative for certain things by yourself. For example, when you’re at a shipper and the delivery time isn’t correct go up to the shippers office and ask them to unload you yourself don’t really rely on your dispatch to coordinate times because you may be to the delivery before or after your time on your tablet. Also take your time don’t rush! Ensure you’re staying safe whether you’re on the road, truck stops, shippers, etc don’t rush 😂 I had some bad times simply because I was rushing to get home 😂
They will pay you for drive. Empty miles man. Just ask your DM about it. I used to be a company driver and that shit happened to me a few times. They always took care of me. Don’t listen to these dudes here talking BS about the company. USA is alright and believe me, that happens to EVERY company out here. Just speak up and tell them what you want to do. They usually help and come thru. I’ve never ran dedicated but just talk to your DM. Don’t give up so quickly. Things will be rough at first then you’ll find your legs and you’ll do well. Best of luck!
Hey thanks for your comment man! Yeah most definitely I had to keep a positive attitude and remain optimistic I stayed 6 months to get my experience and now I am doing flatbed trucking for a family owned company at home hauling oil field equipment I love it! I’ll be doing a update video soon for the channel
I hear ya man. When i ran OTR flatbed when i first started last year i would run into alot of situations where the company wanted to repower on 1,200 mile load and i'd be halfway there. or there was no communication about pickup numbers and so forth. then after OTR i switched to usa because they have a shuttle program that allows you to be home every night. now occasionally there wouldn't be communication but i'd have to speak up about certain things you know what i'm saying? i'd look into their shuttle if that dedicated isn't working out.
Thanks for your comment and for watching the video man sorry I’m just getting back with you. Wowww 🤦🏾♂️that’s about right I no longer work for the company now I also do flatbed trucking in the oil field hauling equipment to different job sites it’s definitely been a great new opportunity. I’ll be doing a new video soon on the update to my journey
They offer health insurance and it gets taken out your weekly check. The checks vary the accounts I was on (Georgia Pacific Dedicated) I was making around $1000 a week and they would route me home on Friday off weekends then start my shift back up on Monday
Ok been driving 18 years dm don't have to tell you nothing. They will send msg.about your next load.especially if you are running behind.you usually get paid for miles you drive. Empty or liaded
Think of what you’re trying to accomplish. Do you wanna stay here long term or use this to get your feet wet and gain experience? Take your time and keep safety in mind with everything you do. Be flexible and have a positive attitude and you’ll be just fine
