Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Just curious..........How long did the whole process take before you got into orientation? Thanks and hopefully I'll be joining you soon.

 

Hey, no problem! The whole process for me went pretty quick compared to what I've read and much faster than I figured it would. Anyways, it went like this; sent in my application by E-Mail. Couple days went by then I called to check on if they received it. No answer so called again two days later. Got a call back the next day from Ed. He confirmed they had received it and would be working on it. About a week passed and then he called me again and asked a few questions about stuff on my work history. Two days later he called and said they wanted to do a face to face interview. They were prepared to set up a time to fly me down for that part. Here's where things got sped up. I just happened to be on a load that was scheduled to be delivered in GP. Asked if I could just stop in and do the interview and stuff after delivering my load. They were ok with it so got right in and did the interview. Then I did the Drug screen and Physical later that day. Three days later I got a call with a job offer and was asked when I could attend Orientation. They gave me a couple dates for their orientation and I picked one. Now to answer your question. The whole process took about 3 weeks to complete. I know that's a lot more information than you requested but thought it might help. If you consider I'm giving my company a notice my actual over all time was 4 and a half weeks from Application to orientation. Hope that helps.

 

GOOD FOR YOU just checked my app has only been in 11 days seams like a month waiting hope they call soon

 

Long but productive day. Woke up about 0515 in Sheffield, AL in hopes that the guy would indeed be at the dock at 0530 and I was in luck. Knocked off the 3 pallets and then headed on toward Atlanta for another two drops and then rolled on up to Kannapolis, NC were I am sitting at the customer for an early morning delivery. Have one more drop in Durham tomorrow and then on to the house until Monday morning. Perhaps get in some deer hunting along with trick or treating with the daughter.

Well October could have been a little better in my opinion and some of that has to do with me learning the ropes but at least it is a decent bench mark for me from which to work.

Total miles: 9753
Extra drops: 7
Total days home: 5
Reset at terminal: 1
Days driving: 24
Average miles/day: 406
Average length haul: 975 miles

 

thanks i ran the # s think that can to about 950 a week take home factor in learning the ropes think thats pretty good

 

being in the nw might be the better deal. pa shut i81 down yesterday because of winds from sandy. getting light got to get up and going have to be in salem va by 1700 have a good one

 

Majestyk have been thinking about your last post. It had tobe one of the best i have read about poly. A breakdown of a hole month really gaveme a better look of what can be done at poly. Wish others would do the same.thanks now i really hope poly calls soon

 

are there any safe driving awards at poly? like yearly or 500,000 or 1,000,000 miles

 

No, but there is plenty of $$$ paid on hub miles, plus stop pay.
