Poly Trucking

In the month or so I have been with Poly Trucking, I have heard unfavorable remarks about the shop; sorry people, they are top notch in my book! I have driven for 4 companies prior to coming to Poly, some have had excellent shops & some have left a lot to be desired; this shop is awesome. They treat me with courtesy & respect and I treat every one of the shop people in the same manner (perhaps other drivers might consider this when they expect service that they claim they are not receiving) & they have fixed everything perfectly and done so in a timely manner. Every time I have asked for something in the parts department, they have met every need. Every time I have made a list of repairs, they have met every expectation. Tommy & the two other management people in the office have been very helpful. Every single one of the mechanics have been friendly & go out of their way to help me with the problems at hand. I just want every naysayer that I have heard to know that this shop is top notch & they have no idea what a bad shop is!!

Freedom to chose where you go on outbound loads. 52 cpm on the hub. Break down pay. Layover pay,  drop pay, and Unload pay Lots of loads. Cheap food at terminal. Best benefits you will ever find. 6% match 401k. And currently getting a whole new fleet of trucks. Guys who are complaining about Poly. Go try the other companies I did it. guess what ? I came back. This company is the best company to work for as a company driver. I decided I will not be leaving again as for the rest of these robbing trucking companies out there you could learn alot from poly trucking on how you should respect the drivers that make you the big bucks. Poly trucking pays you for every mile you drive and for everything you do. The truth about these other companies is THEY DO NOT !!!! If you are tired of being robbed by these other trucking companies come over to poly and get paid for everything that you do. We are not out here for our health we are here to support our family's. Thank you Poly Trucking.

Poly was the best driving job I have had. I had to stop driving for a while do to family obligations or I would still be there. The pay was great and once you learned the ropes you could keep yourself moving for as many miles as you could handle. My last year with them before the computers interfered with maximizing productivity I ran 158,600 miles, all paid by the way.  Sure there were little idiosyncrasies that I personally thought were silly and the shop I believe could have been better staffed and working around the clock but these things were minor and if you didn’t have a problem with borrowing a loaner truck while yours was getting serviced or repaired these issues were of little import.  I am getting ready to head back over the road shortly after a 3.5 year absence and if I thought they would hire me again I would put in another application in a heartbeat as I really liked driving for them as they for the most part let you do your job with very little interference.  

If you can handle not being micro managed and have smart decision making skills as far as routes to take and appointment scheduling then Poly is for you . They have no force dispatch and you return to anyone of their yards on a broker load. This company is the closest thing to being a owner op as a company driver. They pay .70 cents per mile and $30 every drop . The down side is the loads are few to none so expect to sit AlOT. Management never answered the phone and the trucks are horrible . Its very hard to get fired here but at the same time they will let you go for the dumbest things my overrall opinion is if you live in the DFW area this maybe a good fit for you . All drivers coming out of any other plant outside of Texas might not be able to make a living based off the miles being offered 

Company is grossly mismanaged, it’s all unqualified people making important decisions. They’re friends/relatives of the owners. It runs on the good ole boy network. Company doesn’t care about your income needs only theirs. They contract all of the good freight with brokers and contractors, leaving all the junk low mileage runs for their drivers. There’s a lot of down time between loads, they don’t know how to operate like a trucking company. 
I guess I should’ve have started with this, Poly is a manufacturing company with trucks, they’re not a trucking company. 
Good benefits, they pay hub miles at a good rate. They just can’t keep you busy enough to make a decent wage. They’re payroll process sucks, very inefficient and behind the times on how they operate and pay.

I've worked at Poly 6 year's. No one in the office is your friend they make up rules as they go. The trucks are always broke down and the Shop can't fix anything . You always have the feeling you will be fired for the smallest thing I've seen it happen here. That being said if you live local and stay off there radar it's one off the better jobs. Also Poly is not a trucking company there a manufacturing company that shippes things with there own trucks. This is important the people in charge don't know anything about trucking sometimes it's good sometimes bad.

They offer a good rate and recruit you by saying you can pick your loads. When you are hired you find out trucks are up yo 6 yrs old and pretty worn out with no cabinets for storage, had to keep most of my stuff on the floor.  They let you pick the loads you prefer in the beginning and then you don't get to see those anymore. I have been sat for up to 5 days once then 4 days about a week later. Yhen run for 2 days and sat 2 more. Finally had to dip into savings to pay bills at which point I was forced to leave. Trailers are so old many have holes in the floors. Was sent on one load with a preloaded trl and discovered a 1 ft hole sfter delivery. Was down another day getting that repaired.

Trucks run about 68 mph, I enjoyed being able to pick what part of the country that I wanted to run to. But did not enjoy breakdowns. No breakdown pay, and the truck shop lacks real mechanics. So you may be stuck out for days somewhere, losing money, and paying for hotels( which they will reimburse of course). But don't get me wrong, you will make money if you run hard, and keep your truck up (double check all work after getting it out of the shop). And the benefits are good, Management needs to change or be retrained. They care about covering their a** only and they show favoritism (clearly). Staying away from the yard as much as possible is the best way to go.

A typical day involves providing technical support to mechanics to identify and order needed parts;  issue parts from stock; receive delivery of stock reorders and parts ordered for specific equipment; conduct periodic inventories; and return core parts, damaged, and discrepant delivery parts to vendors. The hardest part of the job is not being able to do in house purchasing of parts and supplies. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to directly contribute to the success of the company.

Have an excellent Driver manager that works hard for me. The pay system and paperwork process is completely medieval, and financially stressful every week. The Load planners and dispatchers are totally foreign and distant to the drivers. Loads are unpredictable and nonconsistent. Hometime and or special time for appointments and or special family functions are completely minimum or disregarded all together. My average for the year is 1659 a week, I cannot live off that. This Company is a total train wreck! And I want out......
