Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Just make your point.
I had zero points for years until he was in the position to give'em lol .

 

I've heard that from several of the old
timers .... Hyatt was a petty tyrant

Yep .... place reminds me of that old
song Free Ride

 

That's what's driving me out of my tree
I have to deal with them regularly
..... and I'm a loner at heart
... not the interactive type

 

Totally forgot to mention the mystery behind all the late loads : It's primarily
due to not enough order puller- loaders .

I heard that they only had 2 puller - loaders on Sunday

Not enough manpower sort of
situation

 

That was the issue when I was there, but it wasn't because they didn't employ enough of them, they were just having trouble getting them to come in when they were scheduled. I offered to help out, but I wasn't employed by Poly America, I was employed by Poly Trucking, even though it's all the same company, I wasn't allowed to do work for P-A...that, and my forklift experience came before they required you to have an OSHA approved operator's license to drive a forklift.

 

Yep, I was supposed to be loaded 1000 Sunday, got out of there 2400. At least 10 fork lifts sitting idle. Was told that a few workers had called off. I just decided to stop busting my ### to get loads delivered when scheduled after having to wait like that. Going to cost me$$$ as the reschedules are invariably going to screw me but perhaps if they have to keep reworking schedules on multiple drop loads something will change. Oh yeah, the elog #### sucks. More stress, fewer miles, less options but guess nothing much to do but roll with it and try to do the best I can until I can hang up my driving career.

 

I wouldn't count on it changing ,it was the same back in 05.

 

Maybe this the part of the story where
thoughts of becoming a dispatcher
start creeping up

 

Or thoughts of creeping up on a dispatcher start....

 

Alan is now with Poly America
.... I'm hearing from reliable sources confidence is high he will rectify the situation.

They are setting sales and tonnage records with their product and things must change

They are hiring drivers again ..., hoping
to move up to around 500
