The Heyl Truck Lines Experience

I worked for Heyl back when they had the Quasar Express division in Sioux Falls. Must have changed a lot since then, the trailers say "partners across the border" for a reason. I was in canada 15 or 20 times in the 10 months I was there. That was June 93 to April 94.

 

BTW, having said that, I did like working for them, except the reefer part. I left a flatbed company to come to Quasar Express, and left them to go back to flatbed. If they had flatbeds, I'd likely still be with Heyl, or at least would have stayed a lot longer.

 

I just went through orientation today in Akron. Hopefully will be on the road on wednesday! Anyone on here know about the midwest regional division? That is what i was hired for

 

if u did the orientation you got the job, didnt know they even had one welcome aboard

 

Thanks! I'm excited to start for them I've talked to a couple drivers and they only had good things to say.

 

u will like it fms are very good trucks top notch like i said welocme aboard

 

Well I took off on wednesday ran all over the Midwest was home at 3am this morning 1800 miles this week! I couldn't be happier that I signed on with heyl!

 

Looks like I'll be making Heyl my new home. took the roadtest,interview and Pquiz yesterday, just have to give my 2 weeeks with Conway and Should be good to go. Everyone at Zepherhills was laid back and very friendly. Need to be home more often so Heyl seems to fit my needs, plus I'll be trying for the Tropicana fleet once there's an opening. Looking forward to learning the reefer side of the biz, their trucks and trailers look well maintained, like to get a Volvo but we'll see. Will miss the team pay, but #### teaming is brutal on your sleepcyle. I've put on a few extra pounds from not being able to get any walking in due to the constant go,go,go routine. Needless to say looking forward to a change.

 

in the reefer biz u dont really want a volvo they are heavy besides cascadieas have apus and inverters

 

Congrats on the new gig,, Vmaggs
