What a full Trailer Load looks like: US Xpress Family Dollar Account

[@bambambino23]

nice. This isnt for me only cuz these stores are in crazy areas and i dont want to deal with that extra stress. I dont mind the physical work, i dont like the locations. I know the turnover rate is 100% unfortunately. The only thing the warehouse people care about, including the managers, is getting the trailers loaded and out ASAP. They dont care the slightest bit about quality loading. You look like a good and genuine guy and I will say, keep that good mindset and stay positive. There is no perfect job, there will be stuff we love and stuff we dislike about EVERY job.

I’m starting on the FD account w/ US Xpress next week and I can’t thank you enough for the very informative videos and honest reviews!! You’re helping out a tremendous amount!! Very awesome!!

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

How is it going for you? And it's my pleasure, my friend! Thank you for the kind words.

[@Drivenbygreatness12]

The recruiter said the average pay is from 1300-1500 is this true? I don’t see the 1700 guaranteed pay.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

They had $1700 true up pay when I was there. Someone else mentioned them saying they had no true up pay as well now. I'm no longer there. But I wouldn't consider that account if they didn't have true up any longer.

Why did you leave ​@@bluegrassoutdoors

[@TheNorvikWay]

Looks like you are settling in Dillon. Glad everything is going well and great to see you and Carter . Wishing you and the family all the best....👍🤙

[@christopherjoseph9132]

Great job Carter! He'll remember this time for his whole life. Ever thought about an extension cord and a box fan? Entering my second week of CDL school =)

[@Pinned-ys2po]

Hi. Enjoy watching your videos. It’s great to have your son out there on the road with you. Those are great memories he’ll have forever. He’s great company and a big help to you. Does he get an allowance at all for working with you? Teaching him good work ethic at a young age. Great job. Be safe and God Bless you and your family.

[@906EUP]

Thanks for the added effort to make these great videos.

[@michaelwilde545]

I do this through CR England - it's hard work - especially when you got a pallet of water - but it does pay pretty well - stay safe!

[@MikeoftheNorth]

Really enjoyed the video Dillon. I’ve never done that “ touch freight” type of job. It’s interesting to see how you get things done. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽

[@Willy_On_Wheels]

Good to see you’re doing well and making a proper amount of money.

[@brettbrown9814]

Have a great Father's Day Dillon!

[@A_Jacks94]

I suppose id be a bit more chuffed about not having a rack on the truck, but you seem to have a pretty good attitude about everything man. Props to you we should all try to be like that.

[@OvenBak3d360]

I’m out in phase two with my trainer. We are just outside Minneapolis taking a 34.

[@Donny-D843]

That’s a great job Dylan

[@ClimateChanged2020]

Whyd you cut the scene at 3:06 - 3:07? I'd like to see how you parked

[@pangjack8560]

this is not easy I have with DG“dollar general”before really bad. at least they have it on the cart still bad and heavy.

[@hilbillylckdown4143]

Would’ve been annoying doing this with out the rack lol. I’m taking my truck to shop cause my ac hardly ever works. I hope they fix it and don’t swap me into a truck that doesn’t have a rack.

[@crackinwise18]

Its kind of funny to me that they load those trailers the way they do then expect you bring back an organized trailer. It looks like more of an unsecured load the way they load you outbound.

[@美漂Elias历险记]

I am gonna start my dollar tree account this weekend . thank you for update the info for us rockies . how is the average mileage we gonna drive every week ?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I was getting around 1500-2000 miles sometimes still but the biggest part of the pay is the true up. And you’re very welcome

[@jamallwalker9115]

Enjoyed watching your videos, thank you for posting. Question, I see your trailer is fully loaded & you drive to separate stores in the same day so what determines what items go to which stores if all the items are bunched together, or are they split up in the middle?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much 🙏 they are supposed to put plastic separators in between each store but they rarely do. But each store has its own individual label with a specific number and color. Once you get into the next store you can tell the difference after seeing the number over a hundred times from the packages you are delivering. That’s a good question and I wondered the same thing when I first started. Happy new year!

[@jamallwalker9115]

@ thank you

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@ yes sir

[@coreascoreas3747]

How you know where to stop with rest the boxes 📦

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

They have different labels with different numbers and colors

[@brenttadams2018]

Hi, Thanks sir so much for your vids. I'm trucker, looking at a fl possible fd account, told I could expect 1400 per week...?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

You’re very welcome! Thank you for the kind comment 🙏That sounds about right. I have found that many companies make the pay sound better than it is, but with us Xpress I brought home $1500 a week after taxes. They had true up pay. So as long as you were on time you made $1700, before taxes. There are some good opportunities out there in the trucking industry.

[@brenttadams2018]

@bluegrassoutdoors why did you leave? Any major con?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

The only reason I left is because of their scheduling. They don’t have a consistent schedule. 34 hours off per week but no set days as to when your time off is. I have 4 kids so for me that wasn’t okay. But other than that it pays great and I enjoyed it. It’s very physical work though.

[@RuckthaRuler]

What's a full week paycheck look like with the account and how do they pay you for the unloads?

[@hilbillylckdown4143]

Cents per mile based on experience. $245 per load, $25 per store But you should expect to get your true up of $1700 a week if you do everything correctly

[@naturundhund]

😎

[@timdehoogh8441]

some places pay by piece rate or how many trailers they fill

[@zakarycavenaugh9667]

Do they have different accounts? Anything up in Michigan?

[@freddydelatorre1485]

What a mess!!🤦🇺🇸

[@Bladeandbanterbarbershop]

What are the US Express trucks outfitted with (refrigerator, microwave, etc)?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@ProfessorTrucker nothing but a mattress. I had to wait to get my mattress as well.

[@Bladeandbanterbarbershop]

Yikes. I’m talking to them now about this account in the Upper Midwest. Thanks for the great videos.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@ProfessorTrucker it's my pleasure and thank you for the kind comment! I agree, I do believe it would be much better if they at least provided the necessities. Be safe out there, Driver and God bless

[@arcticfox2055]

How do you know if you unloaded everything, it looks so chaotic.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

They are supposed to put plastic separators in between each store but they rarely do. Each store has its own store number and color for the labels though, and after seeing the same label over a hundred times at the store you unload, once you see the next store label it is pretty noticeable that it’s different.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

That being said, it is a mess and the way they load them can be pretty ridiculous. They will throw the store packages that you need at you current store on top of the packages for the next store many times so you’ll have to climb up and get them all.

[@dmonk7781]

Are you a dedicated driver

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I was with that account.

[@dmonk7781]

@bluegrassoutdoors I start Monday out of Kentucky do they keep me in the closer states to Kentucky?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@ I was usually sent to Mississippi at the start of the week and unloaded my first trailer there. Then I would drive back and they would send me somewhere like Tennessee or Kentucky. One day would usually be spent driving and one day unloading so it balanced out good. The only thing I didn’t like was the home time. It was random because they have no set schedules. Others than that I really liked that account and the pay was great. $1700 a week minimum as long as I was on time to my stops.

[@dmonk7781]

@bluegrassoutdoors are you from Kentucky

[@RenegadeFredo]

How long did you have to stay with a trainer? If you come in with Otr experience

[@RenegadeFredo]

And are the trucks governed? Thanks

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I had to do 2 separate trailer loads with two separate trainers. You stay in your truck and just follow them, though. They are governed at 68 mph. You're welcome 👍

[@SandyG12]

​@@bluegrassoutdoorswhat u mean you follow them?
