US Xpress Put a negative mark on my DAC report and I only went to their Orientation! Medway Ohio
I was accepted into Orientation program at US Express out in Medway, OH. They paid my Greyhound bus far to get there. On the third and final day of Orientation, I was told that I would not be accepted into their employ. I was not given a reason as to why.
To add insult to injury, they DID NOT PAY MY BUS FARE BACK TO NEW JERSEY!!! I Thank God I had just enough money left on my credit card to pay my fare back, otherwise, I would have been forced to hitchhike. Not a good thing for a middle-aged lady to have to do.
Today, 11-04-08, While on the phone w/ a prospective employer, we were going over my DAC report. This woman tells me that US Express put down that I "quit or was terminated" from US Express! How can that be??? They never hired me, they attempted to leave me stranded 567 miles away from home, and I never received ONE DIME for my time at their "orientation" program.
Drivers BEWARE!!!! DO NOT GO TO US EXPRESS!!!!! Even JB Hunt will pay your round trip fare if you are not accepted into their employment. Pus, JB Hunt gives you a hearty breakfast, and a kick butt lunch. AND a hotel/motel room....
Bottom line......not hired....spent the last few dollars left on my credit card to get back home on the most miserable bus ride of my life, and NO compensation for my time there....and a negative mark on my DAC report.
AVOID US EXPRESS LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

I've never heard of them doing that on someone's DAC report, but it's not surprising. They've never paid anyone's bus fare back home if they don't hire them. I was at their Colton, CA terminal once and saw them call the police on two people for trespassing who were hanging around trying to arrange rides home. I borrowed the company van and took those guys to a bus station in San Bernadino and bought them bus tickets out of my own pocket. I quit about a week or so after that. It disgusted me.

they done the same thing to me at tunnel hill.accepted me from florida for orientation so i left my job to go back to us xpress in 2007 after i drove for them for two years 2002-2004 and left on good terms because my girl had a baby and i needed a local job to be home.they got me up there then on the third day they decided they werent gonna hire me.didnt give a reason so i ran around from the bottom of their terminal managers all the way to the top till i got an explanation.it was they wouldnt hire me cause i needed 3 months recent over the road experience.i had five but they still accepted me and had me go up there to orientation.they paid my way back home after i went as high in the company as i could to get home.................i better check my dac and make sure they didnt put any nonsense on my dac cause they never hired me at that time either.

But I'm not sure if they put anything on his DAC report. He went out to Ohio for orientation, spent two days there, then was told they they "competitively hire", whatever the heck that means. he fought them and they paid for his bus ticket home. Just for that they probably did put something on his DAC.
