Baylor Trucking

I have a friend that works at Baylorand she loves it.

 

Well THIS seems like a reasonable examination of facts.

 

Worked for them for 6 months... Nice and highly maintained equipment, nice folks. Aside from that, don't try doing local work for 'em.

Maybe OTR or Regional is good work (alot of long term drivers, but they seem to be leaving in number recently), but you'll be pressed to keep under 14hrs most every day doing Local... and that's with no pitstops, traditional hourly-rate breaks and using your 30 Min while being un / loaded. Used my 16hr Exemption every week with them.

$15.50/hr, no overtime, your start times are Really varied (3AM one day, 8AM next...), the lady in Payroll just guesses your hours worked (no timecard) so you'll often be shorted pay.

Oh, when I quit, someone from the Shop stole my GPS outta my truck when it was cleaned out. Never got it back / compensated...


...But as far as the "No PrePass = Bad Company" angle, that's abit of a stretch. Perhaps it's true, they do bring several new hires each Monday like a mini Mega Carrier, only having a 250 truck fleet.
Woulda been nice to not have to pull into every open scale though.

 

I was on their website and noticed they guarantee $1000 week for OTR. Anyone have any first hand knowledge on this?
