Anyone have any recent experience with this company?

I've been to the website and realize they are a coolie carrier, work 90 get paid for 10, blah, blah, blah.

Just want the facts if anyone has any on them.

my mom drove for them for over a year ending about a year ago....... all she did was complain about miles.........but for her personal reasons she didnt leave...... miles were crappy 1200 one week, 2000 the next.....total coolie carrier. I warned her before she went and when she applied.

I guess I left a h out of their name.

Thanks marcel, when your mom complains, ya know it has to be bad.

I stayed at my current company longer than I have wanted to also. But sometimes it's just what ya have to do.

I'm ready to move on soon tho, just not sure who to try next.

I heard that PTL has a lot of mexican drivers...and the miles are low. Just what I heard, I've talked to a few of their drivers, as I live in Ky where they are based out of. I though about leasing on with them, but the hometime was terrible and mileage pay wasn't too hot.

LOL marcel! Pretty bad when even dear ole mom won't listen huh?................

Reminds me of the hard heads around here. No way in the world will they listen. They have to take a knock on the pumpkin every time......

I guess that I'll never understand.:block:

Thumbs down

BTW.....reminds me of a story from my first couple of months of fuel hauling back in '06............

I arrived at that coolie carrier terminal in Indy with 7500 gallons of #2 diesel to put in the ground. I had just hooked up my hoses when a middle-aged gal came out the door and proceeded to inform me that I needed to move immediately because she was done for the day and needed to go home.....

Well............I had an OTR flashback. I just couldn't believe that I was being addressed in such a manner. Then it all made sense........ I was back in that world again. It sucked. I pulled the hoses, and took the load to the next customer.

When asked the next day what had happened...... I was informed by the Director of Operations to do the exact same thing if presented with a similar situation at any customer facility.

Stay away Merv. :thumbsdown:

I deleted their email after the first couple of responses I got on here.

Got a letter yesterday saying my child support obligation is nearing the the end....I may go flip some burgers instead.

But as for now, back to the truck and my XM radio, but no PTL for me.
