Ptl trucking

With all due respect, if you have half a brain, stay away from these clowns. I went to orientation. There was 10 of us there. We froze our ### off in their crap hole dump motel. Was lied to greatly by their idiot dingbat recruiter. When you cross the Mississippi river going west, your pay drops a nickel per mile. The trucks they assign to new drivers are junk. You will travel by bus to some hole in the wall place to pick up a trk that was abandoned, and that will be your truck.

If you decide to call their recruiting dept, make sure you record the phone call. Then if you decide to go to orientation, pay attention to how many things that you were told by the recruiter, that just ain't so.

Then for ##### and giggles, just before you walk out, play the recording of the recruiter, and watch fireworks. But make sure you accuse the recruiter of lying, and then when the 'I.I.C", (idiot in charge at Murray), starts telling you that your making up things, you've freeloaded on them for a motel and meals, and that you weren't serious in the first place, and that McDonalds is suited for you the best, pull out the recording. They attempted to refuse to get me a return bus ticket home. I informed them that they got me there by false pretenses, and they would get me home. They finally agreed after they realized I was recording them attempting to deny everything.

 

My experience with PTL was 1 year ago. Just spoke with another person two weeks ago, that went to PTL, and also walked out of orientation. They still send new employees everywhere to pick up abandoned trucks. New drivers have no info on the truck, other that trk number.
Yes, I am driving now, and training for another company out of Springfield, Missouri. I'm a company driver, get good miles, and make good money.

 

"She explained to me, the only reason the level of driving experience varies, is due to the insurance companies that insure their equipment. This being said, I have learned, DO NOT PICK ANY COMPANY THAT HIRES OUT OF DRIVING SCHOOL!!!"

Don't know what she meant by this. From my experience, being a driving school trainer, hiring out of a driving school, affords me with the luxury of not having to teach these students how to shift, and pass their CDL test, therefore when I get them, allows me to focus on teaching them to make proper turns, improve their backing ability, adjusting the weight of the loads, educating them on qualcomm, company policies, etc.

*^^^^^LOL^^^^^*---That's great!!!

 

When contacting any recruiter at a trucking company, it's very important to ask the right questions. Some even record their conversations with the recruiter, as I did with PTL. Ask questions such as pay per mile, year, make and model of truck, miles per week, time out b4 allowed to go home for hometime. length of hometime allowed, vacation pay, safety and fuel bonuses, ask if they have apu's on their truck, whats their policy on idle time. new york city deliveries, do they require hazmat, rider policy, pet policy. Cover your ###, because they won't!!!!!!
