Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Had a new record for a PM. Under 3 hrs yesterday. Couldn't hardly believe it and it still runs good. I stayed at the LA Quinta Inn last night. Sure is a nice place and we get a good discount. Loaded up this morning and heading to Beaver Dam, WI. Should be nice and warm up there.

 

And what is a Sams Club Poly day if I may ask??

 

We, the employee's of Poly (including the plants and office), get full run of the store (just the store near the plant in GP)without any civilians (as in no non-Poly customers). Plus we get, I believe, a 25% discount on all purchases, plus (I believe again) a gift card and we get entered into a drawing for door prizes. Last year one of our drivers won a 60" flat screen 'smart' tv...something like a $1500 value (at least at last years prices). Just a 'thank you' from our boss, and from the folks at Sam's for all these years of providing them quality products and quality service (geeeeez, I'm starting to sound like a commercial....now back to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress)

 

Next 2 driver meetings (Mandatory)
Sat 11/15 9AM-11AM

Sat 12/06 9PM-11PM Sams day will be after this meeting Midnight til 3AM

401K Meetings (Optional)
Also there is 401K meeting also scheduled to talk about the new company this going to be managing our 401K. As far as I know these meeting are not mandatory but just informational. Packets were also mailed home with the same info and times of the meetings. I know GP dates are Dec 1 5 8 12 and there are 5 meeting times each day although each day one of the time slots is going to be for the Spanish speakers.

 

When he says 'these meetings' he means the 401k meetings, it's mandatory that drivers attend 1 of the 3 drivers meeting.

 

They should just hand out minutes of the meeting
for ones who couldn't make it.
i wasted a day and a half waiting on this meeting.
Dsp got me here on Friday for the Sunday event.
im going to mention it to them at the meeting
to do something about these meetings.

 

They said it wasn't as busy this time at Sam's, looked busy to me. Parking lot was 3/4 full

 

I decided play nice

 

Anything good come out of meeting

 

Hi everybody !! I am new to this forum first time I've ever posted on here. I am an OTR driver who absolutely loves driving, I'm in my 7th year of driving, and I'm very super happy and grateful to say I recently got the job offer to start my orientation with Poly and I'm very very excited to be on board!! I've heard lots of great things about Poly and I am truly hoping this'll be the driving job where I will stay until I reach retirement !! I just wanted to say hello and that any and all words of wisdom from you seasoned poly drivers out there would be highly appreciated. Also, I was wondering if any of you current Poly drivers are cigarette smokers like myself? I understand from what I've been told Poly has a strict non smoking policy while on the company property but once we have our assigned truck and drive away it is ok for those of us who smoke to smoke in the truck..? Was just wondering if I could confirm that with any drivers who smoke.. Also wondering if during my orientation days there's any chance I may have the opportunity to go off property on a break and have a cig real quick on a break or if I need to be prepared to go all day without one...? Gonna bring some nicotine gum with me just in case, hahaha. Like I said, I'm super happy to be on board with poly and hoping for a happy successful long term career here !! Been hoping to work here ever since I first heard about Poly two years ago !! looking forward to working with you and meeting everyone !! thank you
