I called it quits for OTR due to medical issues.

GP is one hard running company... at least as far as I'm concerned. If you love long runs, you'll love GP. My take home was usually $1060/wk. That included per diem, and $75 taken out for escrow (up to $1000), which I got back minus $250 for truck cleaning. They're also straight up on their lease purchase program. I've met a few who paid their truck off; one who was on his second; and several more I heard about secondhand.

 

Hopefully you’ll be ok on the medical issues. Enjoy whatever it is your gonna do.

Sincerely,
Dr’s Howard and Fine.

 

LOL Yeah, I'm fine. I've found out before that running that hard exacerbated blood clots; so I decided to quit before I got them again. Thanx.

 

Ok I’m on Xarelto for the rest of my life due to having dvt back in 2016.

 

Yikes! My doc wanted to put me on it for the rest of my life, but I only get the clots when I'm in the driver's seat all day. I should be fine running locally.

 

i do not like companies who require apps to be installed on my phone.

 

I'm not crazy about it either, but the industry is coming to that. I don't like when companies send an overabundance of emails to me either, and GP did do that. Neither of those are deal breakers for me, obviously.

 

Does drivers still have to deal with Microsoft teams and Mike. I been hearing a lot of people have left the company?

 

I didn't deal with Teams. I don't play that social bullsnot.

I didn't like that people were coming and going more than you'd expect at a normal company. The truckers, from what I've seen, stay with the company. If you can separate the two, you've got it made, IMO.

 

Do they do forced dispatch?
What's their chaining up/snowy/icy conditions/weather policy?
