I have been at PTL for a few years now, and all I can say is, they have been very good to me! I have learned if you are willing to work with them, they will work with you, on anything! My fleet manager doesn't have a problem talking to me on the phone, because he know I only call when I have a problem...I f you can keep the left door closed, and crying to a minimum, you will do GREAT AT PTL!
I find that hard to believe...I have been with PTL years now, and the breakdown dept. r the ones who pay for the motel, no comcheck needed. They did it for me, and other drivers I have talked to...What r u, just out of school? That would explain it! Sounds like ur one of those drivers who is never going to like any com. Good luck with that!
Sounds like ur husband told u what he wanted u to hear...as far as pay, if he was out that long and only brought home $250., I'd say he was drawing out advances...as far as the rest, well I have been there for a few years now, and everyone there is good to me, if you just do your job and haul freight, they will take care of you, and if you don't then why should they keep you?
I am going to have to disagree! I have been a driver for PTL for ten yrs now and get along with my dispatcher. They run me hard and send me home when I want. I been trucking for over 30 years and to all you new drivers out there who think a company OWES you something, grow up. Get a job, run your miles, and just be happy you are bringing home a pay check every week.Cause theres a lot of drivers out there who arn't. Not every trucking company i worked for treated me with the respect PTL gave me. They gave me a chance and I'm proud to call them HOME. The good out weighs the bad. They been good to me.
I really don't understand all the crazy people on here, I have been driving for PTL for years now, and I have to say overall...I am very happy here. Do I have bad days..yes, do I have great days...yes. When I first started at PTL, I had a dispatcher I couldn't get along with at all, I asked to be put with another dispatcher and we get along great. There are ups and downs in the trucking industry, freight out the ###, then freight slowed. If you any knid of a truck driver you would know this...guess your not! I had a death in the family..not only did PTL get me home asap! But they also sent flowers on their behalf. How many companies have you worked for that cared that much! Especially one of that size. Is PTL the company for everyone NO, I ran into a driver at the home office lot, he was acting like a crazy person! Saying he wasn't getting but around 1500 mile per week, I found that strange since I had been getting around 3000 miles per week. So as I listened further I realized what was going on...you see this driver said he had to be home every weekend home on fri. and out on mon. and PTL did that for him...do u think he was satisfied...OH NO! He then wanted to blame PTL for his miles...see where I'm going with this guys? If your like that driver...then NO, don't waste anybody time or money! If your willing to work and make a good living for you and your family then YES, call PTL...I DID and I LOVE IT HERE!
