    I went to CRST and got my white hat. Then sat home for a month calling everyday and getting jerked around. PTL took me on with no problem. Now in my phase 2. Phase 1 was 7500 miles with a trainer. I made 975, 1400 and 1550 in my first 3 weeks. They really take care of there trucks and more importantly drivers. They are big enough to run you as hard as you want, nice enough to run you like a ##### if you are one, but small enough to know who you are. My dm sang me happy birthday and the VP or trucking sent me a happy bday over the Qualcomm. PTL has changed a lot from what people used to say. Either that or they were the problem.

    I think sometimes good is bad and bad is good. It gets a little confusing at times.

    You're in the honeymoon phase now driver. Report back to us in a year or so and we'll see how it goes. PTL has never really had a good reputation out there on the road, but maybe things have changed for the better. Best of luck in your new endeavors !

    Hotplate is right. You’re on the honeymoon right now. I give it 2 months tops, and you’ll be back on here posting about how horrible they are. We see it all the time.

    PTL is the only bottomfeeder I could not force myself to stay for more than 5 months. And I can put up with a lot. It was 2009 though the pickings were slim but not too slim to stay. They truly could make you feel as a steering wheel holding dirt.

    Say, I think you got a song there!

    “I’m not as bad as I once was. But, I’m as good once as I ever was.”

    Catchy!
