PTL is getting BETTER

I hear ya I went though the same ########. It sux. But until I hit six months I'm stuck. It did get better just alot of bitting my toung

 

Hello fellow drivers:

I was just told I can attend orientation for PTL in Murray KY next week, but before I go I would like some information from current drivers for the company about them. I have just about a year experience and would like to know how they are to work for and should I be worried about miles and stuff with the trucks. Anything you could tell me would be beneficial. Thanks for your help.

 

i got approved for them as well. Only have 3 months experience so i would have to go out with trainer for 2 weeks and team with another newbie for 6 weeks. not to fond of that idea.

 

My son in law is a trainer there now. You will do just fine. If you dont like your trainer just request a different one.

 

im not worried about the trainer. Its the other newbie you have to team drive with for 6 weeks

 

6 weeks, eh? Who told you that? You've been lied to.

It's 80,000 miles of P2. 80,000 for EACH driver.

Good luck getting that in 6 weeks.

 

Recruiter...i know enuff said. lol.
glad i didnt go with them

 

I worked for them for a short time last year, leaving only to go help my daughter with my grandchildren's adjustment to their dad being deployed. My time there was good. I had plenty of miles and a decent relationship with my DM. My only complaint was them getting rid of the diesel-powered APU's in favor of battery-powered EPU's, which didn't cool very well in the heat of summer. You can do worse as an experienced driver.

 

Actually it is 40k total for p2 team and a lot of that is west coast running

 

Actually it's 80k and the west coast thing depends on how lucky you are. If you keep getting partners that need hometime/are close to their 80k, you can get stuck on the east coast like I did.
