    If you got other options than PTL, Western Express, or England, take them. If they are all that will hire for you for whtaever reasons then get your expereince, keep your record clean and move on. Two trainees teaming should be a red flag in itself. Trainers wanting to run team should be a red flag. I got my start with Pam 13 years ago. Not great but got my expereince and moved on.

    I’ve been with PTL 5 years now. It’s a good company. They’ve treated me well and I’ve been happy here after almost 10 years at Celadon and them going bankrupt on me.

    As a new driver I'm telling you this isn't accurate bro I completed my training with PTL about a month ago. Once 7,500 miles are down with a trainer you go back to the HQ to take a backing test and road test after that they assign you a truck.

    Ps- I stopped using this app because many here give out false information. My experience with PTL this far is great. I'm running the miles and getting home on time.

    it's not false info. because one or two of you are doing ok doesnt mean the other 90 percent that post the same horror storys are lying. You been there 30 days. come back after 6 months or a year. Other than that be safe driver.

    They don’t require anyone to go team AFTER they complete the training program.
