Just getting done with the orientation process here at ptl so far it's good. No complaints here everything they said they would do they have done.
An absolute joke. If you're an experienced driver, this place is not for you. Operations are handled very poorly. You're "fleet manager" is a powerless employee that relays information from the "planners" to the driver. Drop and hook customer doesn't have an empty? Let's wait an hour for the "planner" to tell the "fleet manager" where to send you to get any empty. Never expect an answer to a question over the Qualcomm, they act like they dont exist. You constantly have to call to get anything done. The entire company blows. I spent 3 months there and had to get out. Trucks are slow, 62 on the peddle, 66 on cruise. They don't provide a refrigerator for their trucks, they give you a mattress protector for the used mattress that they leave in the trucks.
Form the very start of the application process, I have been impressed with the company. My recruiter, Dan, was very professional and maintained contact with me right up until I arrived at the Lodge. Orientation was very well organized and thorough. I was assigned a driver trainer right away. My trainer, James Coleman, was very knowledgeable and helpful for the entire time I was with him on his truck. It was nice to be on a truck without any maintence issues. The trailers were all in great shape and I was able to get my 2500 miles in about 4-5 days. Now I'm waiting to upgrade .because of weather
They will work u to the bone with no time off and the weekend crew will make u violate your hours do not trust the weekend crew
This company treats you like a part-owner, with no micromanagement and great home time. Pay is just enough, and if you respect the equipment, it will serve you well.
They offer southeast, south-central, Midwest, Texas regional, and OTR options. Some dedicated accounts provide guaranteed weekly pay.
Reaching anyone is a challenge most of the time. Fueling is restricted to designated locations, and breakdown assistance is poor. I was hired for a dedicated account, but when it closed, they wanted me to switch to OTR. I left—their communication was the worst I’ve encountered in any trucking company.
