a duie pyle

I started noticing them a lot in the northeast the last 6 months or so.

Can't stop laughing when I see the name on the back of a trailer.

 

I never worked for them but I did look into them a while back. When I checked into it, you had to start out as a dock worker and then they would put you through their training program to move up to a driver. Unless your an experienced driver, you can't just start out in the truck. Now like I said, they may have changed that since I looked into it a few years back. It couldn't hurt to give them a call or shoot them an email to find out.

Good Luck!

 

Their record ain't bad for 655 trucks

They have been around since the '20's. Not a new company.

 

there name makes me think of a drunk Gomer Pyle (sorry for the completely useless post)

 

Typical freight company rules as stated about working your way from docks to driving. I am almost positive they are a North East only company.

Not too many trucks and not a big company so I would imagine not all that bad the drivers I met while managing a family business all seemed content. Not happy but not miserable and I used to see the same 4 guys about 5-8 times a week either in town or when delivering to us. I also remember their trucks being older then others like Con-way, Yellow, ABF, etc

 

I never worked for them but I grew up and lived near their main terminal in West Chester, Pennsylvania. They have always had a good reputation for treating their employees well. The unions could never get a foot hold there and the employees always voted in favor of what the company was offering.

You no longer work the docks to get a driving job. Their driving school is like eight weeks classroom/range and then forty hours behind the wheel with a trainer.

The bulk of their fleet is day cab Macks and they owned some motels near their facilitys where their drivers would stay. I don't know if it is still that way since they have really grown over the last fifteen years or so.

They do stick to the north east and they partnered with two other companys to cover the rest of the U.S. and Canada. I also believe that the owner/operators make out well with them.

 

A buddy of mine worked for them, they have nice bunk rooms, that out do a motel. I think the company owns a New car dealership or two as well, that discounts to the employee's.

I tried getting on with them more than once, but gave up. You DO load and unload your truck, YOU DO work the docks as a driver. I got an email saying they have (or had) a line haul job opening at the terminal near me.

I deleted the email. I ain't got no time for them now. And I especially wish NOT to do any over nighter's, which I do believe line haul driver's do.

Been there, done that.

No more.

 

I worked there from 06/2011 to 09/2011 as PT outbound dockworker.Work 6 hrs a night, pay starts at 13 hr. Worked out of West Chester.Every terminal has different needs as to hiring drivers,guys been working on the dock for almost 2 yrs waiting for full time opening.
Yes they do train you to drive a truck but you will probably be waiting a long time to get full time.
Dock hrly pay tops out at 15.00 after almost 5yrs(.50 raise after every 1500 labor hrs)
Good Luck! Hope it works out for you.
