You do not want to work for this company. Dispatchers do not have the ability to adapt to any problems that my arise with PTL's sub par equipment. Started in September of 2014..In November I got a call form operations about what a great job I did running 10900 miles in the month of October...Big deal! that should be the norm! but everything fell apart in December. For example, I was running a load from Indy to TX...right around Big Cabin...the weld that holds the mud flaps on the tandems broke, which put the bracket into the tires...I couldn't break the second weld..and had to call road service to get the bracket off to re-weld on to the tandems. To make a long story short my appointment time got knocked back 4 days. After the repair, instead of letting me drop the trailer and keep rolling they left me sit for 4 days.. I made a $64.00 check that week. Had to fight for breakdown pay which is only $35 a day after 48hrs...never saw any dentition pay ever. Tons of horror stories from other drivers. Just ask them. I talked to O/O lease purchase drivers that had consecutive negative checks for weeks...talked to one guy that had been waiting for his truck for 28 days. The list goes on and on.

PTL has become a full blown training company and is exploiting students to run teams, paying students $0.15/ml...so they are paying a team truck less than your average solo driver to run 24/7...and have way more drivers than freight. I know this is common practice now with most all of your Mega-carriers...But ####! Your lucky to make a decent check every 3rd week. Total thumbs down!

You are so right brother I only stayed for 90 days after not getting home for six weeks then only for 36hrs and worst of all a new driver Mgr every 2-4 weeks with alot of short haul runs so paycheck never hit 1k aweek as promised...and all you new drivers they pay slave wages for months before you upgrade. I was a top of driver with over 16 yrs and had to fight all the time to get loads more than 450 miles to delivery...run fast and far from PTL.

You probably could have narrowed that down to a single post.
