    You will end up dead heading out of Florida anyway. So it's all good. I guess your going up to that fuel stop.

    Think twice. Freight has slowed & rates have fallen.

    To think...a couple of years ago i applied to poly and was approved but was told not hiring in my area at the time.

    after reading some of these recent posts i feel like a dodged a bullet...

    good luck guys.....

    just remember...when the grass looks greener on the other side check for astroturf....

    also..lots of b/s makes grass grow..

    Ive talked to about 20 drivers at the terminal and all of them seem happy even with the frustrations of the shop and or backhaul and what not. Ive only been running loads almost 3 weeks and have brought home over $1000 all 3 and the loads have been easy. Nobody calls me and asks why I took a long break or why I want a reset so with my very limited experience here so far so good.
    This thread has been a downer as of late and im sure for good reason but when is everything just perfect for all drivers at a company in this industry?
    I just hope to have more good weeks then bad.
     
    tow614 and Mev Thank this.

    Dealers are worse then our shop. Lol day 5 and there just starting on the truck. They waited on radiator to get here. Thinking I should have just stayed at hotel for another night. Just so I didn't have to sit here at dealer.

    Old load was switched out yesterday. Now I have transfer load to Poly West.
     
    Mev Thanks this.

    Think twice. Freight has slowed & rates have fallen. :biggrin_2555: Supposedly a 11% drop in freight movement in November compared to October

    your turbo was probably going bad for a while...even Crete's old ISX's wouldn't use that much oil. They got 7000 mi to the gallon of oil.
     
    Mev Thanks this.
