Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

The face to face I had was also short and sweet. Basicly a final review of your history, and a brief chat session so they can get a feel for your overall personality and work ethic. There were a couple of drivers going through them while I was in orientation...one didn't pass the interview and one did. Not sure what was said that caused them to not be accepted, but JD posted a great tip back when I was heading in for mine...be honest with what ever answers you give.

As for the test...read the questions carefully. In my opinion I think it's a 'how you think things through' and a 'how you think on your feet' test. Like Majastyk said, you aren't expected to finish...it's how many you answered right, not how many you answered. There is some math(not calculis or even algebra 2 level), some story type comprehension, and some pattern recognition (a series of numbers or words, and you figure out what comes next in the sequence). I think I got to the high 30's or low 40's in how many I answered...and according to the HR guy...I did quite well, but I didn't get a number of how many I missed.

 

And by the way...congrats...you're almost part of the family

 

Has anyone stayed over night in the staging area at the Costco in Sumner, WA? I think I remember someone here saying that all of the Costcos had available over night parking in the staging area but I thought I showed up early one time there and had to go back to that truck stop for a bit but I can't remember for sure. I would rather stay there if I go all the way to Sumner instead of staying down the road a bit and I really dislike that pay for parking truckstop around the corner.

 

Thanks for the responses! Won't sing poly wally doodle just yet. LOL But I'm am very excited to have made it this far. Beer waiting and following this thread for like 8 months. Dreaming of the day I get into the big red truck. Hahaha and making much better money.

 

i was told the test was intended for the workers in the plant but that all employees had to take,also i think i did all the talkin in my interview lol i asked alot of qs, wanted to make sure that poly would be for me. good luck

 

Hey, not all the Costco's we go to allow over night parking. At one time you could stay over night at the Costco in Sumner. Then they decided to stop that option. Guessing some of those wonderful drivers messed that up for the rest of us. They'll let you in a couple hours b4 your appointment but NO overnight staying anymore. Maybe some day they'll go back to allowing it. Same deal applies to the Costco in West Palm Beach, FL. Over night parking not allowed anymore. I meant to post something about some Costco's not allowing the over night deal anymore but I never got to it. Thanks for reminding me. There are other places to park in Sumner as has been mentioned on here before. Let us know if you want to know some places. Take care out there!

 

Good luck. My husband had his face to face, drug screening and DOT physical and never heard another word out of them.

 

I am working. Will not quit until I am hired. Something must have not went well for him to get that far and not be hired.

 

How long ago. My drug test took almost a week before I heard from them.

 

I got a backhaul after my unofficial unpaid vacation. 8 days off, and it isn't hurting me too bad, but it is good to be behind the wheel again. I picked up a load out of Jacksonville going to Houston for Wednesday morning.
