My Poly Trucking experience

Thats a relief ..... the less GP the more miles (and less stress)
Theres hope for the place yet

 

If it's makes you fell any better.
My first 4 weeks on e-logs.

3652 miles
3512 miles
2607 miles
3613 miles

That's all Midwest and northeast.
No polywest in there.
Truth be told I hope I never touch a paper
log again.
Just remember every time you stop, you have
To do something with the E-log.
Anytime you stop it goes too on duty.
If you forget you'll burn your hours up.

 

The biggest trouble maker on Elogs is
Poly shipping out of GP. They screw you
More than anyone else,Backhaul's included.

That 6,7,8 hours late #### don't cut it anymore.
You can't eat it up anymore.
Now there bending outbound over the table
And not the drivers.

It's why we got that message a couple weeks ago
Saying if the outbound loads were not ready within 2 hours
Of the scheduled time you had to call outbound and
Tell them what the problem was.
We all know it's shipping.

A month from now you won't want to touch
Another paper log. It's just to easy with the E-logs.
When you park for your 10 hour break it's 5 minutes
Doing your trip sheet and your done.
There's nothing else to do.

 

I make shipping Poly's Problem at the initial 2 hour mark.
( ...been doing it that way all along..... never saw a memo on this )

 

Just got the word .... apparently a major shakeup at GP

The seemingly never ending
shipping fiasco is being addressed
....

Apparently people are being fired

 

Now if they'd do the same thing with the mechanics, all of your problems would be solved. Well, most of them anyway.

Funny I picked up at Cottage Grove
the other day and the load was 24 hours
EARLY ..... That's the way it needs to be !

 

Ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Yes, 24 hrs early is almost always good.

 

.52CPM, Poly sounds good. IS Poly a good choice for OTR (16 years experience)? Please be honest and all opinions matter. Thank You.
