Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Well February shaped up ok all things considered. Had my first breakdown that resulted in time lost (1 day), 2 resets and 2 days at home. Managed to accumulate 19 extra drops for an additional 570.00 and cranked out 10,287 miles. Miles YTD: 23,427 Extra drops YTD: 30. So 2013 off to a promising start. Hoping to hear from Backhaul today for something rolling out from home in the morning. Leaving back out a little early as I need to be back in by the end of the month for my daughters spring break week at the first of April.

 

Note to self: when dropping trailer at Shearer's Foods in Lubbock make sure to return before 2359 to pick up loaded trailer, otherwise you will have to wait till 0800.

Made last delivery in Lubbock yesterday afternoon then dropped trailer at afore mentioned customer for a load going to Rosenberg,TX for anytime today. It's a drop/hook there. Hope to get a Pol-Tex load going to Henderson,NV so I can pass thru the house.

 

Hi everyone. I don't work for Poly but I am looking at them real hard. I just left an LTL job after 8 months. I was OTR for 2 years before that (+ 4 years back in the 90's). I am taking off till June which will be 1 year from my last OTR job. Will Poly have a problem with that?

 

Hey LilRobWayne, I lived in Rogers/Pea Ridge form '71 to '82. Spent lots of summers in Beaver Lake. It's a lil different now. Still have family there. I guess you don't have any problems getting home with Poly? I am just south of KC now. Do you guys get thru here often?

 

Hey Rocket, that's Awesome! I've spent a lot of time on Beaver Lake myself. I don't have much trouble getting home and it would even be easier for you. We deliver to a couple places close to you and many places you could pass through with a load. Should be no problem for you to get home whenever you want. Poly should be ok with your work experience. They mainly watch your MVR and how it looks. They are the best company I've worked for out here. They really are more of what I believe a trucking job should be. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. If I can help you in answering anymore questions just ask any time. Take care out there.

 

Rolled out of NC this morning on the way back to the Dallas area for an early Friday morning delivery. Made it over to McCalla, AL tonight. Looks like a many Poly terminal with about 4 of us here On the board for Friday but didn't hear anything today, hope they saved one for me. Should fall just under the wire for my PM schedule so maybe I won't have to worry about that for a while as well.

 

I know Poly only requires 1yr experience, but not sure how recent they want it to be. Apply anyways. What could it hurt. Good luck.

 

Thank you LRW and JD. I have been reading this and see it can take a month or two to get in. So I filled out the ap and will email it to them. Be safe guys.

 

Hey Majestyk, I was on Thursday's board with most loads leaving out Friday. Seems they had a lot of Northeast loads with a couple Midwest and some short stuff. I took a five stop load for Alabama and Georgia. Hope they give you some good offers. They had many places to choose from so hopefully you get a good one. Take care out there.
