I have only been here for six months so I don’t know how it usually it. The last month has been the worst for me, spent 9 days out of the last 30 waiting for a load at Grand Prairie. Maybe they have too many drivers and not enough loads?
Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

I don't check all my orange pay stubs but it seems they have been consistent about paying $100 a day to sit.
There is a Schneider intermodal driver that runs out of Haslet railyard and picks up from Poly. He made 109k last year. He's been with them 28 years. He showed me his paystubs and said he knows Schneider intermodal drivers in KC and Chicago making 95k. His hours are 8pm -10am 5 days a week. I couldn't handle those hours, especially coming back to work from my days off. Could I do it if it was a national emergency? Yes, but it would be hard. The Chicoms would have to be breaching the walls for me to pull overnighters.
I usually get 2500-3000 a year for drop pay, but this year is over 4000 and I don't remember doing anything different. Layover pay this year 2300-2500.
"One Call Does All"
If you ever get stuck in GP during the week, River Trails Dentistry in Fort Worth can usually get you in for a same day appointment if you call in the morning. It's a two woman operation. The dentist doubles as the hygienist and the receptionist is also the dental assistant. They are also willing to send and receive Xrays through email.
I was having a hard time arranging a scaling/planing ($800-1100) appointment at other dentists because they told me I would have to have two separate appointments made in advance. This is impossible with my schedule. I told River Trails on my first visit that I was due for a scaling. It was 11 am, she told me to come back at 3 pm and she did the whole thing in one day. My copay was twenty dollars.Last edited: Dec 16, 2019

Having problems with the elog system, I have never used Qualcomm before in a different job.
My big issue is that it turns itself off after the engine has been off for 1 hour, then it takes up to a half hour to turn on and become usable after turning the engine on.
Takes like 10 minutes to boot itself up, but it almost always freezes and then takes another 1-2 boot and restarts to become usable.
After the truck has been running for hours, the logs work fine, but I don’t have a a spare half hour to waste every time I need to move the truck. It prevents me from using personal convayence and I have skipped logging the pre trips because of this.Last edited: Jan 12, 2020

They’re always hiring, they have a huge turnover rate. But they’re sold in some aspects and extremely weak in others.

I'm so glad I don't drive for Poly Trucking
-
They got 400 hundred trucks and hire 5 drivers a week.
You don't have a clue what your talking about. -
Only pros there they have are:
no forced dispatch
7 days out 7 days off
No deductible just pay co-pay
cons:
Junk trucks
Poor maintenance
they’re bringing in more and more contractors
To do company loads not just California loads like they’re supposed to be doing.
Drivers come in on Monday expecting to leave Tuesday-Wednesday don’t end up leaving until the weekend or next Monday
Because the company brokered out all of its freight to contractors.
do I need to go on? and yes they may hire 5 because 5 or more have quit.
I still have the inside scoop, my close friends work in the office.Frank Speak and mathematrucker Thank this. -
