Seriously Looking At PTL: Ummm, Why Are They Not On The List Of Companies Here?

I read through a PTL diary here and it went through the process from orientation to solo. Everything, good and bad, that I read in the diary seemed like something that I can put up with in order to get my time in and either stay or go with a better company.

Is PTL a less than desirable company? If so, why?

I'm prepared to stick with my first company a year so I can get something local.

Any reason not to do my first year with PTL?

Reasons I like PTL:

1) short orientation: 3 days 2) short training: 5,000 miles? 3) short teaming: 40,000 miles?

then solo.

What am I missing?

Do a search for ptl and it will bring up some different threads that give some great info.

Hope this helps

Don't choose a company based off what other people say or you might miss out on a perfect fit... Choose a company that fits your needs so your not unhappy for a year...

Benefits, home time,freight and whatever else you can think of...
