    Gotta bring it in every 15000 miles at Poly. Half the time they find something and send it to Freightliner.

    I think whoever sends them out must be getting a kick back from Freightliner.

    They had so many trucks just sitting there for so long that they had to tow a bunch to freightliner to get them started .... about a month or so ago. at least 1 truck had been sitting over a year. Every time I'm there, there are app 100 trucks sitting there, daytime, night time, weekend, week day, holiday, every day.

    I requested $100 extra withholding per check when I hired in. Had 26 payouts in 2016 totaling 2600 extra paid in witholding so my returns are bigger. We like our 8k tax returns.

    That 100 is likely more like 130

    I'll bet that wasn't easy... but you did it , pat on the back. I said all along dude , you weren't being fair. There is an endless list of worse out there. Not saying though that there aren't better out there , but depending on your resident location , they might not be an option. Folks that live in big cities , have a ton more to choose from than I in Lewis co. Kentucky.

    If they had these Paccar motors in a Pete or KW, they wouldn't have to do it so often...maybe if the rumor is true about them buying a variety of truck models to try...maybe you'll all be driving Paccar family vehicles.

    Glockner heavy truck plaza , Portsmouth Ohio , just a month ago , the director of maintenance was having a conversation about the Paccar engine with his tech. I was there he looked at me and said you're better off with that Cummins than a Paccar , they have more than their share of issues. It's he said he said is all , just saying. But personally I have no history with Paccar. I told him I bring this truck to him every other month, how much worse can Paccar be , the tech laughed and said trust him. But still the Cummins doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
    It's pretty much agreed on by most , the clean air systems got these things so fragile in every sense. The concept diesel is a dirty burning fuel I don't think was ever meant to burn cleanly.

    I am considering Poly, am supposed to fly out there end of next week. Parts of this thread seems pretty dire. Should I even bother? Have they fixed their shop/truck problems? Are they still 100% international? Are the drivers using elogs still turning decent miles? What are the trucks governed at? Generally speaking, are they a good company to drive for?
