    I got on their lease program. I listened to what they had to say and like an idiot I believed them. They said $1000-1500 a week take home. Been with them two months and haven't made that the whole time. In the last 3 weeks I have only taken home $23. I have lost everything I own.

    There are a number of things that PTL could stand for besides "Paschall Truck Lines," and apparently one of those is "Poverty Through Leasing."

    I'm sorry you are going through that, but it's really a common story with leasing. Good luck on whatever you do in the future.

    Hey, but they're 100% employee owned.
    Just write yourself a big check.
    Seriously, I have never heard anything but horror stories about ptl, and all of them from their current drivers.
    LP is it's own horror story
    The two combined can only be a nightmare.

    I hope you quit already. You must not have owned much to begin with if you lost it all in just three weeks.

    There are other threads about the horrors of working at PTL. Unfortunately you chose to work there first instead of checking here 1st.

    You could've saved yourself all the headaches
