Now tell us about that Amazing Maintence shop in Grand prairie ...
Or does that not fit your point of view ?
Go in for a pm ... and 4 days later you get out only to have an engine light on when you start it.
Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Let's be honest here ... if you're willing to slip seat the shop will not cost you 12 to 15k a year. If you travel heavy and don't slip seat you'll do well at 63k a year.
No option for 100% taxable gross so much is per diem . Gross 63 taxable is 47 to 51k.
When it's time to retire you get screwed because of your low yearly taxable income.CorsairFanboy and silverspur Thank this. -
The shop is not perfect by any means. My biggest complaint on them would be the communication isn't great which can cause unnecessary stress. I use to hate the shop as we all did but the facts of the last few years for me are what they are, and I dont have much room to complain.
I'm also aware that not every driver for the last 5 years has gotten a new truck every time they show up. For the guys who haven't probably have a different opinion than mine.
As far as the per diem goes I guess it's good info to put out there so someone ready to retire in a few years and also wanting to drive at poly is aware.Bumper Thanks this. -
Those days are long gone.
I haven't been in shop for anything other than
A oil change in 4 years since they got the new trucks.
Haven't changed trucks one time since then.JohnBoy Thanks this. -
Peterbilts seem to be better than the Internationals. I like the cabinet space in the LT's.
The LT's have had a problem with DEF sensor at in sub freezing temps at 250k miles (6 days) and turbo going bad at 300k miles (2+ weeks)
Still plenty of 2010 Prostars to choose from. I grabbed one with 750k and made it to the Northeast and back. -
Seems that the shop improved about the time Hyatt quit managing it...as Leroy Jethro Gibbs says, I don't believe in coincidences. Perhaps he just wasn't cut out for that department. Always thought it was nuts to put an I.T. office guy in charge of a truck shop
CorsairFanboy and Knucklehead Thank this. -

You might remember him.
