Groendyke Transport

Does anyone know anything about the terminal for groendyke in LONGVIEW TX? we're finally getting out from under dart and groendyke has offered him a job.

 

Thanks Rob. I intend on calling the TM in parker when I make it home late next week to follow up on my emails and resume i've sent him. Hopefully there are words of encouragement!

 

Does anybody know if this is a good company to work for?
what they pay,home time etc

 

If you go back to the beginning of the thread starting at page one all of that info has been discussed.

Good luck

I have been with Groendyke for 6 months now. It's a pretty good company. All drivers are NOT payed percentage! Only a few terminals. Orientation was in Enid, Ok. They flew me out and rented me a car. I work out of Pa and started out at the top rate of .48/.35 mt due to having 6 months tank exp. The one day I sat with no load I was payed 150. Training was 18 per hour. 18 flat rate to load/unload plus 18 per hour after the first 2 hours. I get this even if the customer does everything and I'm in the bunk.
Like any big company, it depends on what terminal you work out of and the people there. I have a great TM. Seriously, everywhere I go drivers from other terminals tell me how good he is.
Sure I have had at least one job that was better and a lot that were worse. My biggest complaint is that I don't get to go home every day. A lot of the other terminals have more local work and they do. But when I go home, I stay as long as I want. I was out for 3 weeks and took off 2 for Christmas.

 

.48/.35 is #### good pay. how frequently do you actually get home? I'd like to at least get through the house around every 7 to 10 days for a day or 2 (Phoenix, AZ). Any other accessory pay with them? Thanks for the info Pumpkin.

 

I stay out for a month then take off a week, minimum at my terminal is 14 days out. No accessory pay as I'm already being paid by the hour for loading/unloading(after 2 hours). Home time really depends on the terminal. I don't know about Phoenix. I thought they were all gas haulers, but I could be wrong.

 

What terminal are you based out of ? Would Pittsburgh PA fall within the hiring area of your terminal ? Thanks.

 

I am based out of Bensalem, Pa, next to Phili. Pittsburg is in hiring area but it is a very small terminal. We only have 10 drivers and they are not always hiring there.
