US Xpress Family Dollar Account: Pay and 1 month review

[@Pinned-ys2po]

I enjoy watching your journey. It’s nice to see a good, humble, hardworking, family man get what they deserve. God has blessed you. I’m looking forward to the next video. Stay safe and keep trucking.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much for the kind words my friend 🙏

[@georgia6458]

You're doing great and your attitude about the work is very encouraging and positive. What a testimony. 😊 I've done flat bed, roll-tainers and the loose packages like you're doing right now. Winter is cold up north because as you know, it takes a while to unload. Hand and foot warmers work great for that. Those cooling cloths for your head and neck are awesome. Stay hydrated and stay safe in those sketchy neighborhoods.

[@TheInvisibleAmericanMan]

Very glad that you are happy with the pay. Poor Carter at home counting down the days. You should see if you can find a Freightliner baseball cap for him. : ) take care. -Dave in Cincinnati

[@frankiedee2024]

Yeah, I was checking the distance between home and the Family Dollar DC in VA, and I’m extremely impressed. I can’t wait to start

[@sherylclements2846]

It takes a lot of guts to make a change and go after what is best for you and your family. You are a good, decent, Godly family man. May God bless you and bless your plans and give you the desires of your heart. And watch over you and your family every step of the way.

[@anpsteph]

Amen

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much for the kind words 🙏 I wish the best for you and everyone else as well. I'm very thankful for this job and it's a blessing, that's for sure. I appreciate your comment a lot and God bless you and your loved ones as well 🙏

[@Crankshaft-cq1nd]

Safe travels, man. Great video, as always.

[@brettbrown9814]

Glad things are working out well for you Dillon. I'm happy for you.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much Brett 🙏

[@Willy_On_Wheels]

Happy you’re doing well! I’m finished with my trainer. They’re flying me from Buffalo to Gary in the morning and I’m taking my DSE in Gary on Thursday morning.

[@Cbb872]

Thank you for sharing your journey! I’m starting Roehl’s training July 1st and I’m excited thinking about the financial freedom trucking can bring my wife and I!

[@faulkner146]

Hey I’m glad that you’re making the money you deserve. Congrats for taking a leap

[@anpsteph]

So happy for you! Continued blessings to you and your precious family 🙏

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much and God bless you as well 🙏

[@Maxium5408]

I recently finished phase 3 and been a normal driver for a few weeks. I have been making 1200 average after taxes at roehl. I'm a reefer driver as well.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

That's great Maximum 👍 Your making quite a bit more than I did in 3 months. Maybe reefer pays more? I'm glad you are doing well with the pay. That's awesome everything worked out good for you!

[@Maxium5408]

@bluegrassoutdoors yeah reefer does get payed more cpm. Also get more live load bonuses. Just did 2800 miles this week.

[@titan_2988]

​@@Maxium5408 with respect how have you gotten so many miles? Quite a few guys including me went through their training and none of us are even coming close to those numbers, I'm making on average 600 a week and only like 15-1600 hundred miles, national reefer as well

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

Great job, driver. Thanks for sharing .safe travels, my friend 🙏🇺🇸✌️

[@davidkeller6957]

You are a good man keep up the good work god bless you and your family

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much 🙏 God bless you and your loved ones as well my friend

[@americansportsguy7641]

Can you show the backs at the some of stores in one video like your setup and getting to the store like 3-4 stores in one videov

[@chelseanoah1909]

Thanks for the video. I use a Rand McNally never had issues

[@Gary-mu8ye]

Glad it's working out great for you bud

[@TheRuralProject]

Hey Dillon, good to hear things are going well. Say hi to my mini mate Carter.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I'll do just that Chris, Lord willing. It's great to hear from you and I hope things have been going great in the land down under 👍

[@jus22]

Looking forward to your next video

[@raymuncy22]

Enjoying your videos. Reminds me of my time on the dollar general account. My advice would be to preplan the last leg of your route because that gps will get you into a lot of trouble eventually. Just take the time to pull over before you get to the town. And there is generally a truck route close. That also helps with figuring out the best way to either get behind or get into the store. The roll carts are easier in some ways but pushing a 1800 lb roll cart up an incline can still suck. Especially since most family dollars have a cant to the parking lot that aids your rollers come down. The pay might seem less but you can get more loads off. Also you don’t get slowed down by employees needing a break. Love the videos. Keep them up. Once you get through the summer you have er licked.

[@frankiedee2024]

Werner uses a lift gate with their Dollar General Account

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

That’s a much better method

[@Handfulofhandsomeness]

Hard working man… Did Roe pay for your CDL?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

They have a gycdl program. You don't owe them anything if you complete 120,000 miles for them. But if you break the contract, you owe them around $7000, which you can pay in payments.

[@Handfulofhandsomeness]

@@bluegrassoutdoors Oh wow I may do that and leave at 125,000 miles.

[@Handfulofhandsomeness]

@@bluegrassoutdoors Did you complete that many miles in the short time you were with them?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@@Handfulofhandsomeness no, it takes around a year or longer

[@TheNorvikWay]

Glad it's working out Dillon and you are liking it. Keep it going brother. Stay safe out there 🙏 . Wishing you and the family all the best .....👍🤙

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@@danieljaggers4765 yes indeed

[@Hamza_Tinghir]

Bro Hirschbach motor line pay more than US express even you unload 2 loads they still pay $1800 a week if they send you only 2 loads

[@AZVIDS]

Happy you are happy👍

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@PlanningYourCorporateEsc-er1ml]

So did you have to pay Roel back for your CDL? Or just quit in 4 months

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

You have to pay them back. They have 3 different payment plans. It’s $7000 through them but if you pay it all up front and get your cdl on your own it cost you around $5000.

[@StrayWayy]

Great video I’m making $23 a hour driving at my company but I’m thinking of going to US Express but my nerves are getting to me 😅 can someone give me their thought’s please

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I loved the account, except for the time off. You get 34 hours off a week and it can be random every week. That's the main downfall. It is very physical but it says great and the most of the people at the family dollar store are great to work with 👍

[@Magnum5.9360]

Did Xpress pay for fuel cost while on the road?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@Magnum5.9360 yes, I was a company driver, so they paid for everything

[@Magnum5.9360]

@ Nice is Xpress also a home base company where you bring your truck home?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@Magnum5.9360 yes, I would bring my truck home every weekend 👍

[@davidkeller6957]

Good job

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you 🙏

[@edwinvillatoro-fuentes1066]

Hello, I recently got my CDL with Roehl, but didn’t complete phase || due to some personal issues. I was wondering how Roehl charge the interest on the 7k loan? Or if there is interest on that 7k loan?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

If I'm not mistaken, there is interest. Will they allow you to continue?

[@edwinvillatoro-fuentes1066]

@@bluegrassoutdoors They will, but I was told that I still have to pay them back or make payments until I return.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@edwinvillatoro-fuentes1066 wow, I hope you are able to get your cdl through them at least. I'm not sure the total amount of interest but I will try to find out in the email they sent me. Have they sent you an email yet?

[@01_HD_DYNA]

Do u still work for themm

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@@01_HD_DYNA no, I’m no longer there. I didn’t like the random home time. They have no set schedules.

[@rookie7413]

What the heck are You paying roehl for? Bondage is illegal in US. I would not pay a cent unless You are refunding them something they paid you.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I guess the program they put you through for 3 weeks. They pay the hotel and your lunch as well. And then for the instructors who train you.

[@HumbleV81]

Are you leasing your truck?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

No, I was a company driver. I'm a tow truck driver now.

[@Pedro-fv2lv]

How much experience does a driver need to work there

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

3 months

[@Pedro-fv2lv]

@bluegrassoutdoors 10-4 I left roehl transport right after I got my cdl because the instructor kept on saying they had no freight look for another job so I am almost 3 months with this company and looking to get more miles was the reason I asked thanks man

[@davidkeller6957]

None

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@Pedro-fv2lv you're very welcome and I wish you the best. I don't blame you for looking for better opportunities. If they have no freight, they don't have much to offer you. Cause there's plenty of freight moving right now.
