Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

The broker mentioned he is in danger of loosing his contract
with the people he is working for. I have no idea how brokers operate so i take his word for it. He was very worried , so I'm hammering
as hard as I can to try to help , but the loads going to be 14 to 15 days late
by the time I get it to where it needs to go. Its a mess.

 

There's a big Poly yard over in Grand Prairie, Tx. not too far from my house. I've heard a lot of good things about them-can anybody tell me about that yard?

 

That's the corporate HQ and the entire Grand Prairie processing complex of Poly America, what has often been referred to here as 'the compound', PGP or GP. That is where Poly Trucking's home base is located as well.

 

Anyone figure out the routing number codes. Mine says MA-NY-3... So what does 3 mean?

 

I believe that would be deliver in MA, pu in NY, 3 stops (3 stops total, not 3 stops paid)
Mine is GA-TN-3...I just found out I back haul out of Gleason, TN to Dallas. But PU Friday, del Monday. Which I may just stick with instead of pushing for a 900 (probably wouldn't get a diff anyway since it's January) I could use a restart and the old girl (my truck I mean) is due for service.

 

OK so the number is amount of stops. So my back haul should be Dallas or Houston. I am hoping for Dallas.

I thought the number might have been a code to where 5hem back haul goes.

 

I'm guessing that is how it works, but since they don't warn you of any back hauls ahead of time when your in TX, maybe that is all the stops they have pre-planned. But remember, all pre-planned back haul loads are subject to change, so don't count your roosters before they crow.(geeez, I'm starting to sound like Dr. Phake...I mean Dr. Phil)

 

I have a NM-AZ-5 (5 stops in the load) with no BH set when I left with it.

Delivering final two pallets in the morning here in Phoenix and then picking up a load of Gatorade down the road 3-4 miles. Got the old 900 set for a drop on Friday and hoping for something good left over on Saturday.

Took my first trip down AZ77 from Holbrook to Show Low and then US 60 to Phoenix. A really beautiful drive, particularly the trip from Show Low to Globe, AZ.

If you don't get to this FJ in Phoenix pretty #### early you are just #### out of luck. Arrived here after battling rush hour traffic about 1.5 hours once I reached Mesa. Got here around 1815 local time and it was slam full. Managed to improvise a spot along with a Cretan close to the exit that isn't blocking anything so hopefully that will be good until I roll out early.

 

I sometimes think I would like to punch dr. Phake in his neck....

Guess we will see when back haul calls... I will pay more attention to that routing now....

 

"Anyone happen to know what's the usual backhaul out of Boise , Idaho ?"


What did you get as a BH? I have never finished off a load there so never had any dealings with picking up something nearby.
