Any info from former drivers on Boyle Transportation

they are a good company low miles avg yr income for team 100000+/-

 

Can you elaborate "company representative that found this thread by Google'n your company name"?

Sounds from their web site, if you like automatics, and being babysat, they are for you:

 

it is not the same company that it was ten yrs ago it keeps changing. but the first thing you have to do is qualify which is not easy for most drivers. I can tell you it is not tsmt, r and r, or landstar. yes the do have automatics and they go 65. saftey is important to them and they push the csa2010. find one of their drivers and ask them what they think. they do have a low turn over 10-30% i think.

 

I agree with other post. The mileage is low for a team. Pay is okay considering the low mileage. You are required to babysit every load. No going into eat or shower at the same time. Can't stop for more than 2 hours at a time and when you do stop you must call freight watch and tell them where you are stopping, why and how long. The company micro manages the drivers.

 

Yes we currently driver for boyle, all I can say is if u like to be a puppet and hold a steering wheel you will do just fine they want to track your personal were abouts all the time even if ur not in your truck

 

It's different type of trucking. You're hauling stuff that is tracked most of the time, and is security and safety sensitive. There are more rules and regulations. If you want to be a cowboy trucker, it's not the right place for you. I have not worked for them but worked for several other companies doing the same type of hauling.

 

We drive for Boyle and don't feel like a puppet or micro managed. Probably depends on the team. We get two days off for every week out. Have a guaranteed daily wage, 25 dollar daily perdiem, spend some part of the weekend in a company paid motel. Miles are generally lower then you would expect for a team but teams are needed because most loads require constant attendance. In turn though you are paid for every activity; delays, load, unload, refer monitoring ect.. It is interesting work and dispatch has lots of years of experiance. Two brothers own the company and really care about their people. I have never worked for such a great company! If I were unhappy I would quit not whine.

 

What is a average take home pay with Boyle? Im active military and thinking of seperating after 12 years but I want to continue to drive the big trucks. Currently I mainly do flatbed hauling of Heavy Equipment. Trying to make the right move to a decent/fair company. I like the idea of a min weekly salary. What about insurance, whats the cost for a family? Thanks for any help!

 

Could you tell me the average pay for a new driver and what is the min weekly pay about and how much approx? Thanks!
