Pohl Transportation

You added to 1 thread and started 2 new ones about Pohl. We get it, they're not a good company to work for. A more comprehensive explanation is in order. We need @Lonesome to help with his 3 word interrogation!

 

How long did you work for them? My curiosity looms.....

 

When Mama speaks, folks better listen!! @Mama2000, "Care to Elaborate?"

 

I know this is sorda irrelevant, but I remember talking to someone on the CB one time. That was the rudest, meanest most vile SOB I've ever dealt with. He never did see me, but I found him, in a Pohl truck. He sounded absolutely miserable. He was endlessly #####ing about something some other driver did that he took as a personal insult to him or something. When I saw him in his truck I told him "Shutup, Pohl." He mumbled something and then shut up. Funny how once a driver has been identified, the anonymity of the CB suddenly disappears and he shuts up.

Now every time I see a Pohl truck I say out loud "Shutup, Pohl."

I was reading their indeed reviews. They seem suspect, as they are pretty much ALL either 5 star "this company is the second coming of Jesus" or 1 star "this company couldn't suck worse if it tried." I find that strange, as most drivers are not totally 5 star or 1 star people. Most reviews of my company are 2-4 stars.

 

The lesson here, for newbs, is to ALWAYS get your last check and clean out your truck BEFORE you quit.

 

Can't do that with most companies. Every company I ever drove for was 1-2 paychecks behind in paying you at all times. Basically your last paycheck is always in "escrow". So you can clean out your truck, but you'll never get your last paycheck while still employed. At least not anywhere I know.

 

Yes you can. They either pay weekly, or bi-weekly. If they owe you money, they are obligated to pay you on pay day. You just have to plan your exit, keeping payday in mind. And, you can always prolong off time if needed by being sick, or a death in the family, etc… Again, just have to plan.

I’m retired now, but I only quit one job without having all of my money, and that’s because I knew that company didn’t play games.
