Start at McElroy on Monday!

Sounds like a good deal for you. I know that Lowe's has a dc in Hagerstown Md. and I noticed they had all loads covered for the drivers. I used to go to a terminal close to them 5 nights a week.
Down the road from me someone parks their truck and trailer but I have not had a chance to see who they are to talk to them.

 

Thanks for starting, and continuing, this thread RevKev. I Start at McElroy on Monday! at the Pleasant Hill terminal and am looking forward to it and have less questions than I'm sure I would have if I hadn't read this thread. Thanx again!!

 

GREAT THREAD!!!! I have been researching trucking companies for the past couple weeks and I've narrowed my choice down to Mcelroy and Averitt. I live in Atlanta and will probably end up going with Mcelroy since it seems like better pay starting out. (I don't mind tapping since it will help me stay in shape) lol
in the application process, I guess I passed the regular hr part and everything is going to the review board. But I guess if Warner, stevens and some other companies pre-hired me, I shouldn't have a problem with Mcelroy. Can't wait to get started with them. One question, since I live in atlanta, do you know how it works on the weekend? Do I just take my truck home? Or do they have a place to park it in atlanta.

 

Thanks for the reply. One more question / request... I've seen the pics of the outside of your truck, but if you don't mind, can you post some pics of the inside of your truck????
Thanks in advance

 

Last question. It's been a couple months since you posted your mileage and income averages. Are you still pretty much doing the same? Thanks again for your helpful answers

 

I enjoyed my time at McElroy and it was the perfect fit for me straight out of school. I wanted to be home every weekend and I was. (Except the weekend I turned in my 9200 for a prostar).

I knew I wouldn't get rich there, but I knew I'd make enough for me and be home every weekend and I did.

Biggest tip I can give a new MTL driver: if you need anything hit up the South Pittsburgh terminal. Great bunch of guys! I parked my truck there on the weekends.

I got my year in, my school 100% reimbursed, and decided to move onto refer to experience that.

 

Everyone is dispatched out of Cuba. If you live in eastern time your "home terminal" will be NC, if you're central time your "home terminal" will be AL.

I lived in Chattanooga and my terminal was NC, even though I parked at S.
Pitts in central. I never once got close enough to Pleasant Hill to stop by or have ever talked to anyone there.
