First I was given in house training in which UsXpress pushes unskilled students out of their in house schooling like a cattle.in fact they were forced to close their school down in March of this year due to several factors one of which involved The Ohio Motor Vehicle Department. After The CDL testers were fired for passing unqualified students for the CDL road test. Second reason I feel I was wrongfully done as far as the training is concerned was that I was given a trainer who didn't teach backing or setups for backing and who rushed me thru the program. He was too worried about getting home for Christmas. So he raced me thru the 200 required hours by driving about 25 hrs of my required time. Failed to have me do any backing on any property other than a truck stop. Then He only had me do 3 backing attempts the first 100 hrs and 3 again the second 100 hours. This is not near enough backing experience. Even after I gave low marks on my trainer's evaluation, and informed the training staff of the lack of attention this trainer gave to me. They still did not even consider that I may need further training.in fact the trainer I had lost his training bonus for such a bad evaluation I was given a second trainer who took me out for 2 hours on backing but he had another student and he fail to give me the time I needed to learn backing. Even with all this UsXpress still pushed me into solo driving and did not give me another trainer to learn what was needed to do my job. I was forced to learn the backing and setups on my own. Even after the first Accident I feel the company failed on their part as to do something about my training. Looking at computer modules do not teach someone to back a 70 foot Simi truck. It can only be taught by another driver who takes the amount of time needed to teach this skill.
They only taught automatic shift leaving out the details how to drive stick. So that you become limited as to who you can work for Then if you fail in your attempt to drive they still bill you for their so called schooling as well as being fired and then your not able to be hired as a professional driver to any other company You might have just as well thrown your hard earned money out your car window For that is what their so called training deserves
