Good money. Hard work. They hired me straight from CDL school and even waited an extra 3 weeks when my school's truck broke down and they let me use their truck and trailer to take my test in. That is unheard of.

What is the size of the trailers that Sygma uses ? On an average, how many pallets do these trailers hold, and how many pallets do you empty out per stop ?

We have mostly 45FT trailers, and also a couple pups for specials. A typical load can have around 12-14 pallets, and each pallet can have 1-5 stops on it. You have your frozen section of the trailer by the reefer, the middle is refrigerated, the back is dry. The amount we can empty at a stop varies, it can be 20, 30,60 and up. Some stops are dock stops, where you deliver whole pallets with a pallet jack.

Thanks for your response. Would you happen to know if Sygma recruits in the Pittsburgh region of western PA ? Do you yourself, since you're from MA, deliver in western PA ?

Sygma

How did you get into Sygma, being a new driver 2 years ago. I have applied there and haven't heard back yet. I am in the South and looking for local runs. Please advise if there is anything other than applying, in order to get into Sygma.

Thanks
