    If you are in need of any and I mean any information about Paschall Truck lines located in Murray KY. I can help you. You will not like what I have to say about this company but you will get the truth and I can provide backing on all my information. They do Discriminate. The pay scale is not as they say infact if you drive west of the Mississippi your pay is cut to .30 a mile no matter how many years you have been driving. I have assisted drivers with employment in the past with PTL ( Im Sorry for that) but I have personally seen drivers with perfect records and over 30 years experience start at .37 a mile and NO PAY Increases due to price freeze for over a year now. I could go on about all the lies the company will tell you but they will probably limit my comments. I will be giving you the absolute truth with any information you may need. Buy the way Idle time and home time be prepared to get Hot and shut down to save your fuel for the company and as far as home time it is very hard to get there when you need to be. starting out, plan on atleast 3 weeks or more before you make it home your first trip. I am not a driver I worked as a Driver Manager for the drivers as well as a recruiter for many years for this company. I started out as a driver for almost 2 years before I was Promoted to the inner office working directly for the Vice President of safety at PTL so any questions ask away. Thanks and good luck to you.

    I used to work for PTL and when I left the company, they told my family that I had left a load on my trailer which I hadn't. I had turned my truck and empty trailer in to their secured yard and never looked back. I had left to team drive with my wife and was tired of sitting waiting for loads.

    Sorry to hear about that. Pay them NO MIND. This is company policy (Inside office politics). The goal is to make PTL look like the Greatful employer and you the schmuck. They have done this for years to drivers. Basically any lie that makes them look good will work for them. Remember your dispatcher was not your friend, they do not care for anything but that bonus they get every month for getting the loads delivered. Your dispatcher was mad because you left them so they lost out on that part of the bonus. Don't worry I am sure you are better off without a company that looks at you as a number and not a name. Atleast you cared enough that you turned in your truck at one of the lots. I have seen many trucks over the years that had to be recovered on the road. If anything was posted on your DAC from PTL in a negative way please for your own good stop and send DAC your side of the story. At this time they will post it on your DAC so other potential employers will have both sides of the story. It will be well worth your time to do this. Most of the time drivers just let it go, this is not a good thing, people see two sides of the story they are going to read the other side and 9 out of 10 times people will see that the driver was wronged by the company because the company didn't get their way. Best of luck to you.

    I think PTL may be looking to hire a new driver to recover one of their trucks up in Milwaukee WI,
    The driver must have a valid CDL, a warm body, and an IQ of at least 75 to qualify for this job.
