Back to driving for CFI. Left a few months ago for something else and it did not work out well. Happy that my old company welcomed me back with open arms.

Hey PackRat, I am no longer at CFI. I had a medical issue that I had to get taken care of. Been home off the road for a little bit and looking to go back on the road. Got all the medical stuff checked out and have been cleared to drive again. Things were not the best when I went back to CFI last time around. Truck issues kept me off the road for over a month total and it has just left a sour taste for me. Looking into a few places to try and see what other options there are.
Are you still at CFI, after going back?
If so, why are you wanting to go elsewhere?

Just wanted to know if anyone here works now or did for USA Truck? Likes and dislikes, did you get reasonable miles? Did you feel that you were treated fairly? Taking a look at them as my next stop. Thanks

I would do whatever necessary to fight this if you are sincere about not taking drugs. Any script that can show positive is not even considered providing that you have a legitimate script and the pharmacy confirms that you are prescribed it by a physician. With Urine there is a duel sample taken so that if these things happen it is sent to another lab to test the second sample as one of the others said to make sure that the first result is not wrong. Hair is something I am not to sure about but most of the time Urine is the only one that is DOT regulated and required. Hair testing I think is often chosen by the company along with Urine. Good luck in getting this fixed, I hope it works out.

You can apply at CFI. They have hired people that were in your situation and helped them get back on their feet and it is a great success story if you work hard and be honest upfront about everything. But as others have said apply to everyone that you think can fit your needs the most. Being persistent can pay off in the end. Good luck to you.

Does CFI have cameras in the truck? Driver facing or otherwise? Maybe Big Scott can chime in on this. I don’t mind them. I just heard today CFI has them now!
Yes CFI does indeed have both cameras now in their trucks. I drove for them and they are currently installing them into all their trucks on a daily basis and when trucks are at the main terminal in Joplin. The front facing one does get triggered when an event happens and the driver facing one only is turned on for a specific reason and the company says that they tell the driver when it would be turned on. Hope this helps.

Get used to waiting. You’re going to encounter it daily if you want to be in this career field.
I am already in this career so yes waiting is part of the game.
Oooo, my bad.
It's all good man. Just was inquiring about this company and getting driver feedback.

One issue that I have with them currently is the recruiter I spoke with already has not responded to either the email or the phone call I made to him. I mean i can't start right away since i want to return home first and let my company know so I can return their truck. So it makes me feel like it's a waste of his time. I do have the number of another recruiter with the same company. Would either of you call that one or just say forget it since it feels like he doesnt have the time for me?
Maybe he’s on vacation?
I did just find out today he was out of the office. So that's a good thing. It just sucks not knowing when you are trying to make an informed decision.
