I use to drive for ptl. I left a week ago. So I had 2 days of no loads. I asked 3 times for information across both days. The only responses I recievered were.
"We will tell you when you will get a load."
"U got your 1500miles for the week".
"We dont run more than 1500 mile weeks usless your a very new driver cause of company costs".
On the 3rd day I cleaned out the truck. I've drove with 2 other companies across 5 yrs. For anyone who is thinking about this company. I'd advise you to look elsewhere.

People see that CPM out of school and think: Why wouldn't you do what gives the most miles possible???? Then.... 2-day layover after a DC drop and hook because they gotta keep new hires rolling, and 40 new hires a week with 1100-13000 trucks rolling
P.S. there is no way to find out how much a company typically does layover or the average miles... The drivers lie more than the recruiters... Best I've done is guesstimate based on seeing drivers too at home at a truck stop or conversations where a driver accidentally told the truthLast edited: Dec 28, 2022
