Then why do they advertise so much ??

HMMM, That's why I'm still asking questons about them? Why do they advertise so much??
With only 275-290 trucks(depending on who you're talking to) and so far
I've been talking to every Poly driver I been able to stop since the beginning of last summer they ALL are very happy. Usually when I "poll"
drivers from company X I always find some "mal-content" crabby...whinne.."they're doing me wrong" type. But not here.
If they have almost 200 applications they are "reviewing" right now...and only 4 trucks open. Then I would guess it's very important for them to keep all their trucks RoLLing...and would seem to be doing a pretty good job at that! Maybe, they Fire drivers frequenly for infractions...heck, I don't know. So far, what I do know is a lot of very happy drivers( one even showed me 3 months worth of actual paysettlements- consecutivly dated...all very impressive $$$$- and to me Seeing is believing.)
So drivers will try to B.S. you, some might even produce a couple "select"
pay settlements to back it up...but in 14 years of driving out here...I havent had any produce 3 months of back-to-back Proof.

Finally got a phone call about 2 weeks ago from the recruiter. A bit vauge on some of the questions but got enough info to satify my curiousity for the present time.
I was told too that they had only 4 open trucks at present. Was not aware that they were that popular and known to have 100+ applicants for the openings. At least for the present time and with winter coming on I'm staying where I am at. I might drop over to their office sometime in the future after I talk with a few drivers.

I have applied to Poly Trucking and I had to continue to stay in contact with them. I see that if you e-mail them, then they will respond in a day or 2, however, they will respond. They are still verifying my employment history. Needless to say that I have been with Pepsi for 11 years and this year with SNI and Knight, although I haven't had any accidents and my no criminal background history. I hope I am one of the chosen ones whom will be granted the opportunity to be employed by them.

I too have talked with their drivers and yes, they are all happy there. I want to be happy too, so why not be ambious. I know winter is here, but I still need a company to meet my needs just as I must meet theirs.

I've been looking at Poly as well and have had simialar difficulties getting through too. I found an email address for the HR director, Debra Prowledge and she has been slow but always returns my emails and even called me today. Pm me and I will give ou her email address if you want it.

Some of the basics, as you all know, py 43 cpm on hub miles and $30 per stop, very nice! 2005 & newer Columbias, 10 speed, they pay for weekly washes. Orientation is 4 days they pay for flight, hotel, meals and 12.50 an hour, not bad.

Trucks are governed to 68, they haul plastic POLY bags and misc back haul, out minimum 2 weeks at a time.

I applied, dont know how long it takes or how far down the list I am but have a good gid now and can wait, will keep yall posted.

BobGuy, how funny; I just sent them another email to follow up with them. I am aware of their pay scale, and their system. It would be very nice to land a job with that companay. I think it takes a very long time for the hiring process. They are looking to hire, but they're very pickyyyyy. I would expect to hear back from them soon. It's going on 2 mths. and I can't wait.

Big Slim,

Keep me posted about Poly Trucking, I will do the same for you. I'm also checking out a company called Lane Freight, living and driving in snow states I LOVE the southern and south midwest states they serve. Pay isnt bad, up to 37 cpm possible with all bonues. They are out of Houston and I think they are associated with Link America, so they should have constant freight. If things dont work out with Poly, Lane may be an option?

Cool, I will check them out. I will keep you posted on results. Safe driving to you and all. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I just sent Debra (who has been fairly prompt) at Poly TRucking an email asking her about how much time they take for approval and if in fact there is a waiting list to come on board. I will keep all you all posted.

Hey ,

I was scanning for info on Poly Trucking out in Texas ,
came across this thread and noticed it just went flat , no one ever followed up.
Did anyone ever get on with Poly
and how did it work out ?

I am hearing their equipment is run out and aged pretty badly and maintenance is poor .
Its apparently not the same Poly as when this thread began
