Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

After delivering in Blaine,WA last week I went to Salem,OR and loaded grass seed going to Farmingdale,NJ. I picked up this morning in Somerset,NJ going to Roanoke,TX for a drop/hook Saturday morning. I can be there Friday afternoon and will try to deliver then. That will put me at about 6200 miles in 12 days with one of the 12 as a day off due to being out of hours. Plus add 4 extra stops.

Steady miles on productive loads with a great customer base, this includes the brokers we work with for backhauls, keeps this driver happy. If the work our company shop does ever improves Poly would literaly have it all.

Returned to Grand Prairie this afternoon. After completing paperwork I found that from the 3rd of this month till today(14th) I drove 6173 paid miles & 5 stops. Since I had to take a day off during that time due to no hours for that day, that means for i averaged 561 miles for each day on duty. Makes me happy. I leave in the morning for University Park,IL & deliver early monday morning.

 

That is some pretty high cotton there. Come on September 25th

 

There seems to be a lot of x crete drivers heading to poly, I'm sitting around the wilmer yard here wondering what it would be like to Get a load over 400 mi or even get over 1800 mi for the week, sure are a lot of drivers here living in there trucks ,due to necessityPoly sounds like an outstanding co, that all co s should treat there drivers in the same manner!

 

I had really considered applying to Poly, but after long and sometimes tedious consideration, I've decided that when I separate from Crete, it'll be either home every weekend or more often for me. I'm just growing increasingly sick and tired of OTR in any form, and it's not just the company. I dunno....I think I'm just fed up with having to deal with the idiots on the road, and averaging 560 miles per day dealing with this is just more than I'm willing to put up with.

Plenty of companies close to where I'll be living in the next year or two...petroleum hauling, line-haul, other opportunities. But Crete will be my last OTR position.

I should add (so I will) that my wife has a good bit to do with this. She's tiring of an absentee husband.

 

Why would say that poly has plants in Henderson,Nv montbelview,tx and cotage grove,mn and there are plenty of other areas in the us you could be living in that would be great and still enjoy poly I know as I am a former poly driver left over two yrs ago was there five. Shop worst in the industry was then and apparently still is lol. It really is a good job though just stay clear of meyhew,hernandez and Hyatt they will in fact smile in your face as they stab you in the back enjoy it while you can the that is
