Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

i messed up and went 200 miles out of route on a trip from tx to pa, by mistake once, i never heard a word, but it wasnt a normal occurrence and that was a few yrs ago.

 

When I was there (2011-2014), the rule was no more than 10% OOR miles on a trip. There could be variances due to weather, but even then, there was usually no reason to go that far OOR. I planned my trips according to weather and traffic and almost always had some sort of OOR miles. Was never an issue.

 

how many miles did poly run the old prostars until they traded them in, if they are still running some of them what is the mileage at?

 

My truck needed a PM so I went home last Friday. Called the shop today and truck still has some issues, may not be done by the end of the week.

I am content to stay at home for now, but what point will they force me out on a loaner truck?

The issues aren’t severe, but it looks like it won’t be ready until Monday or Tuesday.

I’d rather stay at home than take some ratty loaner truck that has who know what problems. Also I just spent almost 3 months continually on the road.

Coming up on that seven day rule though..

 

You don't have to take a loaner if you don't want too.
If you got enough money, sit at home till your truck
Is fixed.

Don't say anything to anybody.
Just keep in contact with the shop.
When your truck is done, put yourself on
The board.

If the loaner breaks down somewhere,
You have to go back and get it.
Don't worry about the 7 days off limit.

 

I saw two Dec 2009's, one with 565k and the other 592k. There are still quite a few left.

Also saw a Dec 2012 MF with 685k.

 

I got 360,000 on my peterbilt.
Don't know what there gonna run these up too.

 

Seems like low mileage for a 11 year old truck.

I guess they have been sitting unused for most of that time.

 

Probably one of the shop hanger queens that couldn't pass a dealer without stopping in for an urgent repair

 

They use them to clown the new hires. It's part of the initiation process.
