Im am I/C for usa. My manager is Michele. My truck number is C####. Been with usa collectively as a company driver and i/c for 10 years. Been with Michele for 5 years. She always answers her phone and text. Any issue, shes fast to resolve. Home time is never an issue with her. Sometimes if a issue arises, sh3 will give compensation to make up for it. Shes a pleasure to work with. Usa is a good company. Freight lanes i like. I get all the money i want and if i take 3 weeks off to travel to Europe, which i do often, they dont have any issues wirh it.
