McElroy Truck Lines, Inc. - Cuba, Al.?

I gotta start charging you guys cups of coffee for finding these gigs!

 

You can wear your t's as long as you are away from the terminals and customers, I have a full beard but keep it trimmed neat, they are really strict on attitude, a good attitude goes a long way with them. Mr. McElroy is very religious and expects his employees to help upkeep his image, but he is also a great person and down to earth. He will meet with you on Thursday, the day before your last day in training for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Good luck and welcome aboard and feel that you have made a fine choice. Anything else you may need to know just ask and I will try to answer the best I can asap.

I like Dickies brand full button-down work shirts anyways. Wore those for years. Will still bring along some driving clothes tho, to go along with my working wear!! Another question about those trucks, they got CD players?? Can I put in one if I wanted to? I dont suppose they got any GPS capabilities installed do they? Just route suggestions over the QualComm???????

 

Just to share some info on McElroy. I am currently a student and their recruiter - Rick - came by last week. Great guy and came off very sincere. Here are some items he told us:

• Qualcomm
• $120 per day breakdown pay
• $120 per day layover pay
• $100 bonus if you don't get home for the weekend
• 8 paid holidays - $50
• 2005 - 2007 Internationals
• Easy Pass
• Pre Pass - skip 80% of scales
• 1 week vacation after one year (paid at average weekly pay)
• Extra drop pay for multiple drops
• Starting pay $0.38 - ($0.37 milage + $0.01 tarp pay)
• 1st year drivers right out of school have averaged $43,877/yr (current data from pay records)

No I am not a recruiter or an employee. I am very interested in this company. All that I have seen on this thread and have heard "out there" agrees with most of the posts here. Good company - they do what they say - you get home on the weekend. One thing the recruiter stressed was a positive attitude and a desire to work - not goof off.

Sounds great to me!

 

The trucks do have CD players but do not have GPS capabilities.

Had the opportunity to chat with a current driver who was based out of one of the TN terminals. VERY nice truck, for an International. He pretty much confirmed all the information the recruiters say. Was very pleased with the company. Got his miles + hometime, although he was just counting the days till he reached his year anniversary. He had a job previously lined up, but needed that year experience. Said he'd make more at the other place, more power to him. MY career, however, is due to start this Monday morning, down in Cuba, AL. . Bout DAMMM time, was tired of school. See you people later!!!!

 

Hey good luck. I think you will like them!

My husband is due to start orientation in 3 weeks. Now, I know that it takes 90 days for health insurance to kick in, but does that include the 7 weeks he's in training, or do the 90 days not start until he's gone through all the training and starts the actual job?
