Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Poly requires at least 1 year of over the road experience. They do hire out of North Carolina.

 

That is an interesting question. I believe our HR department not only hires for Poly Trucking, but also hires for the factory too. The times I have been over to their office, they looked very busy.

 

Poly probably won't call you back until you have submitted an application and have been selected for an interview.

I like working here so far. I compare my experience here to what I had at Crete and I am glad I moved. Here is a breakdown of positives and negatives.
Negatives: 1. As new man on the totem pole, you are given an old truck.
2. Our shop in Grand Prairie is a glorified Walmart oil change center and not much more.

Positives: 1. Great pay. $.48 off the hub loaded and empty. $30/stop after the 2nd stop on a trip. $50/month cell phone reimbursement.
2. Time off policy: You are allowed up to 7 business days off after you empty out before you have to accept another load. All they require is that you average 2000 miles a week for the month.
3. Outbound dispatch is not forced. I get load offers and I decide if I want to run them or not.
4. They leave me alone while I'm on the road. My Qualcomm very rarely beeps.
5. I'm treated well by the office and they already know me by name and I've only been here since March.
6. Great road service. You notice that I said our shop in GP is not the best. Well, the road service we use is excellent in my experience.
7. Length of haul. In an era of ever shortening loads, I love the old school experience of getting 2200 mile loads across the country.
8. On our "mom and pop" loads, I get to set my own delivery appointments. It's nice to get one of these that runs through the house. I can set my appointments out a few extra day if I want to stay at the house awhile.

 

Deadheaded out of Maine down to Connecticut to pick up a load of recycle plastic and take it to our plant in Cottage Grove MN. 1600 miles round about including deadhead.
