    I have worked there equipment isn't that bad truck's is good and get fixed anytime there's an issue yes trailers is old but get the job done. The hotel is good have ac heat not too much but it's summer people like to disrespect the hotel lady but she is nice just be a gentleman the way we were raised and no issues she even gave me a room for myself. Hotel gives you breakfast ptl lunch and they give you a voucher for dinner and the buffet is awesome 3 days orientation then out with a trainer for 10k miles then with another trainee for 30k you will be fine upgrade test is simple people is friendly I would suggest going straight to phase 2 after phase 1 so you can finish and get in your own truck any other questions please ask and thanks Chinatown for recommending for me in the past.

    I submitted an online application for PTL and got a callback right away. It sounded promising - at first. If you're a woman applicant it's 6-9 months before you can start because they don't have enough female trainers (they're looking for 'em) and it's against company policy for men to do the honors. I won't argue the wisdom of that but if you're wanting to be earning a paycheck soon it's quite an inconvenience.

    Are they pure teams, or do they have solo drivers?

    Also, it sounds like they train the n00b: true?

    They have solo and teams and they do have some noob training. Not really sure how it works since I went in as a contractor.

    Its about like the rest, some will like it and some wont. I personally think youd be better off to just buy a truck and lease it to them.
