    Don't Know about the orientation but a guy used to drive for them like 2 months didn't hear him complain about nothing. But he left to haul containers. He wanted more home time he's been trucking for years.

    What info are you looking for? It's 2-1/2 days in Murray, Kentucky. Pays 150. No physical if you have a current medical card that still has some life left on it. Lots of paperwork.

    I like the company, as mentioned in another recent post in this section (My own experience with PTL). Trucks are good, mostly new or newer Internationals and Freightliners. Some are a couple years old but those are mostly used for the phase 2 drivers who aren't yet trusted with the 2014 trucks. Trailers could use some work but PTL seems to be making an effort to bring them up to standards. Miles are there if you want them. Show initiative and they'll recognize and reward it.

    BTW, a lot of their students are just experienced drivers who have been out of a truck for a while. Even so, you can always change co-drivers if you aren't compatible for whatever reason.

    That's awesome! I just got my medical card renewed 2 1/2 weeks ago so at least my money wasn't wasted in vain. After reading over their website and the discussions here, I'm seriously considering PTL.
