Working at Heyl Truck Lines and Very Happy

I'm still with Heyl in truck 2504c.We got a raise so I'm making .39 a mile plus 1.5 quarterly perferomance bonus on the first 28000 Dispatched miles, then an additional 5 cent a mile quarterly bonus after that, and the 2 cent a mile fuel bonus is odometer miles and monthly now..

In Oct I had 14500 Odometer miles and got $289 bonus added to my check earlier this month.

I always get the 1.5 cent a mile performance bonus so just figure I'm making a base pay of 40.5, plus 5 after 28000, and the monthly fuel bonus. So figure 2 cents less than that for new hires.

Again I don't think most guys like to run like I do. A lot of them are home every couple weeks, where I have been out solid since Sept 6 when comming back from surgery that would have cost over $13000, but my out of pocket was only $2000.

So a good deal got even better.

Also I noticed they do hire in some areas where they don't have a Terminal. Houston is one of those areas. I split a load with a guy who was going on home time there sk you never know. Call them up and see.

 

When I started in March of 2011 it was $33 a week for United Health Care PPO, Medical, Dental, Vision, $1500 Deductable, Then they pay 80%, with an out of pocket max of $3500... Now it's 34 a week.

A week vacation after a year. 2 after 5?

The bonuses as I mentioned before..

The fuel bonus is different depending on if you have a truck with an APU, Or one off the newer ones with just a bunk heater. It's 2 cent a mile. 1 cent if you keep your idle under a certain percent regardless of MPG, the other if you are above a certain MPG regardless of idle time. For my truck group that has a bunk heater, I had to get 7.1 mpg/ 25% idle time for the Oct Bonus. Which I got both and $289 added to a check. For Nov thru April IIRC you need to get 6.9mpg/15% ....May is like Oct.. and Summer is 7.1/40%.
All the trucks have inverters. The one with APU have to have 15% Idle time all year round.

They have a 401k, referral bonus, and some other benefits I'm probably forgetting.
