Paschall Truck Lines

Worked with PTL as a new driver in the industry. Oreintation is what it is; see their description of the process. It was different over 3 years ago. I was lucky I went through training with a very experienced trainers and satisfied, but I have heard horror stories.
After I got my first seat, a very professional dispatcher was assigned to me. His name was Patrick, located in the Indianna terminal. He was my first dispatcher for over 3 years. I feel we knew how each other worked and what was expected. One morning, I woke up to a new dispatcher. I was not informed or given notice. My new dispatcher was Amy P. for approximately 6 months. She was a fantastic diapatcher to work with, but all of a sudden, my loads and miles turned to trash at no fault of her own. She was fairly new to the company but was very experienced, polite, professional, and caring. When I was unable to drive, she stayed in contact with me to make sure I was okay and when I would be able to get back to work.
My illness came while I was driving for PTL, deathly ill with COVID. My heart went into AFib, and I had to stop driving for three months and a few weeks. During this time, I used up my home time and vacation and then had to go on FLMA (FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT). This is where my demise started. After my FLMA expired, there were 19 additional days my cardiovascular appointment was scheduled. During my entire time off, I was in constant contact with human resources and my caring dispatcher, Amy P. Once my 90-day FMLA expired, they immediately terminated my employment and wanted me to be hired on as a new employee. All my senyority would be lost. I worked very hard when I was not paid, respectably. Patrick gave me great news on my pay raise. I am not a criminal or have any blimishes on my driving record. They literally terminated me after +3 years of employment for getting sick. Ninteen days is all they had to hold on to my employment status for a release with no restriction.
No restrictions was issued by my doctor, and I filed it for future employment else where. This virus was forced on us, and I worked through it the entire time I was able.
Human resourses was very slack in their responces. Sherri B. took three days to get back to my email after days of calling and leaving voice mails with no response except from my email stating, "I have received your email. I have not yet had an opportunity to investigate any options that may be available." What I have been employed for over 3 years! I followed up asking if there was ample time and have not received a response to this day of typing this review. Not going back, period. If you like working for schnider go here, you will see!
Trucking is what you make of it and will be dictated by people who do not respect you. This company is trash. I would not recommend it to any driver new or experienced!
