Q&A With USA Truck Employees

Think corn maze, but made out of cubicles. Loud and distracting. Hopefully you'll have a mediocre job that doesn't require a lot of concentration.

Very open and organized

Coworkers of the last decade were great. New group coming in was not so much.

Expensive benefits. Be prepared to lose most of your paycheck for minimal coverage.

They are too big to fail all at once. Believe their best days are in the rearview mirror.

Not at all. Every call might be your boss calling to fire you.

Rare. Lot more common to be fired or leave the company.

I dreaded every day of the last few months. Wasn't as bad when manager, director, and/or VP was out of pocket.

IT team was great when I was first hired on. That team has been replaced over the last couple years and no longer exists at USA Truck.

Successes are not really discussed. It's mostly the failures that are focused on.

Ask anyone in the Van Buren, AR area. If they are in IT, they either know someone who was laid off by USAT, or they were laid off themself. Basically, they'll fire you over a phone call or text, and refuse to answer questions. If you have the opportunity, record the call from your supervisor (if you are working for USAT IT, you are probably already recording all your calls with supervisors and leadership because of trust issues). They will try to lie about the reason of your layoff to keep from or slow down unenployment payments.

Wish I knew the board was going to bring in the current CEO and he would bring in a team of people out of the northwest that was the worst group of people I've ever worked under. Wasted a few years of my professional career there.

May not hear back. They have been known to ghost candidates.

They find another job through Linkedin, Indeed, or Monster and get a massive raise when they move out of the company.

Few years ago there were growth opportunities in the form of training and promotions. Now, you have to be friends with the buddy club out of Washington state for growth opportunites, or even the opportunity to keep your current job. I've left this company and found another that offers plenty of growth options, whether it be training professional training or shadowing others. If you are on the USA Truck IT team, you'll find the best growth opportunites on Linkedin, Monster, and Indeed.

Fast paced for sure

I work from home and find them to be very trusting. I do know that not all people have the self discipline to do so.

I think we lack in that department. I saw a co-worker jump through hoops after hoop to get a versa desk their doctor wanted them have. It took a few months to get the approval

I think they could be more innovative, not to say they are not

Pay attention and absorb the vast amounts of knowledge

I have no desire to switch. And no idea what the process would be. But I'm sure you can.

It was very quick for me, and was a pleasure

The way we treat our drivers.

I personally like to ride my Harley and oil painting

Organization, work fast paced understand the ever changing industry

I like the medical coverage
