Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

not much methane in frog farts...but it's a start.

 

They count all your delivery and pickup stops...then subtract 2 until you turn in your paperwork at one of our production plants...then it all starts over. If you hold your paperwork until you return to GP...then it's all your stops -2. (Including any pick ups at other plants w/o turning in paperwork)

 

so I went to poly west... no fuel there. get a new load and get fuel after. so where do I mark that fuel on the new load? even though it should count as fuel on the last load?

 

If you are coming from the east they want you to fuel in Kingman, if not I would not sweat it and fuel where ever wr are authorized on the way out. In other news I was onn board for W at polywest since I arrived here on Saturday looking for a place to rent. Was told no available loads until Sunday. Cool by me as I have a place to stay but for others you might want to hold off coming westward for a while as it seems things are slow out here.

 

if it were me, I'd just put it on the new load sheet. That's how I handled that load last week when I rushed to turn in paperwork at UPN only to realize the next day I forgot to put down my fill up. I know the bean counters in the financial part of the office probably don't want it that way, but doing it from time to time doesn't kill them, especially if it was your 1st time there...I did the same thing. Then I almost screwed up when I did fuel. I was at the Love's past N. LV getting ready to head up US95 to the NW with the cards in my hand about to start the pump and double checked to make sure it was our stop only to realize it wasn't (and I had spent the night at the Peelot the night before and never fueled)

 

that's what I figured since you have to end a load at a poly. couldn't fuel. so I just put it on the new load right after the start at polywest on new load.

 

it seems as though GP is the place to be right now. When I req'd my 900 diff...before I got the authorization to do it, outbound was asking my eta to GP.

 

Help me out here if you would like, looking at coming over to Poly the 1st week of Aug just trying to get a feel for the company that's all . USMC Ret

 

I'm guessing you're still wondering about miles and pay. It all depends on how you like to run. There are some here pushing hard for miles making 12-14,000 miles a month while others don't require but the minimum monthly requirement of 8000 miles a month to survive. As far as where you live isn't bad. We have loads to K/C and that go through that area all the time. Your home time scenario is doable, but most of us run 3-6 weeks and a week or so off(plus or minus), but you are allowed up to 14 days off in a row as long as you are averaging at least 8k/month. But remember, you only get paid when you turn paperwork into the office...no scanning...so home time usually equates into a $0 paycheck the following week, so 14 days equates to 2 $0 paychecks. As far as gross pay...that too varies. A yearly ballpark average of $55-$70k.

 

Any body know what the little Yellow Inverted Triangle means on the panel ?

Its trying to alert me to something , but i just cant tell what it is.

I stopped and checked all i could under the hood , all looks ok , truck runs good ( except it blows massive oil smoke when pulling a hill )

I tried fiddling with the key and holding the buttons down to see if it would give off some codes but apparently that only works on KW's.
