Florill trucks Top speed 64mph. They dispatch at 70 mph. average speed 53 mph. Dispatchers say in a 75 mph state we can log it at 75 mph. They want the driver to run 800 plus miles a day. They pick your route and fuel stops. They will route you 300 miles longer to save a few pennys on the price per gallon, They don't want the driver to idle the trucks, too stay cool in the summer or stay warm in the winter.
You will seat in Ca, or Tx. for 4 days or more waitng for a load.
They have a poor maintaince program, The driver calls in to get a problem fixed it truns into a hassle.
They say they pay layover pay I have never seen it on the paystub.
The miles are low your lucky to get 2500 a week.

Yea they have new trucks, and plan to get more,

Your first 90 days they will give you the miles and perplans so you stay rolling, after that the games begain..

Home time they say every two weeks for two days, they don't get you home on time, when its time to come out, you may stay at home for a week waiting.....
So think twice before you sign on here....

My husband works for Florilli. Not by choice. He ran under a low clearance even tho his company and the customer said thats the way to go. So they fired him and he rearended a car that stopped in front of him in our car, so nobody will hire him. He says these are the drivers who work for Florilli. The ones who don't have much choice even though they may be excellent drivers. And I used to team with him so I do know he is a good trucker.

I started with Florilli last summer and Im still working for them, but am currently looking for another job. I haven't really had any problems as far as safety is concerned with them. I definitely have hauled loads for them where I creatively logged and boogied to get it there. Especially produce loads out of CA. Ever since the produce started out of Yuma and has now moved to Cali waiting hasn't been too bad. I live in CA too and alot of the time I'll go home for like 3 days be ready to leave on monday and dont get anything until tue. or wed. and that is getting old, and its even worse in the winter. If your someone who wants to get alot of miles and stay really busy Florilli isn't the co. Once in awhile you'll get a 3000 mile week, but not very often. The thing I do like about them is the longer runs, but then you sit in between them. The trucks are being turned down to 62 as well, so needless to say I will be avoiding the Peterbilt in Davenport, IA. I actually like the way the services work with them. They get all services done at 3 speedco locations. Walcott, IA, Council Bluffs, IA, and Joplin, MO. Ive never had any problems with my truck. Im driving a 2008 Peterbilt 388 with the new engine which doesnt pull a hill worth a crap, but it has ran well without any issues. Alot of our other drivers have been towed countless times, but knock on wood mine is running good. They definitely will harass you about idling your truck, but they have to nowadays. The way I look at it im going to be comfortable. If im hot im going to turn the truck on. There 2007 trucks have Tri Pak generators which are great but there are not ordering anymore on the new trucks, I guess they have been more trouble than there worth. They pretty much leave me alone and let me do my job. To give you an idea of what you might make here, my current YTD earnings are $15,000 and I take alot of time off, and sit alot. They start everyone off at .35 cpm no matter what your experience is and give .05 cpm every 6 months. Anways thats my 2 cents. Later.

I've been thinking of working for Florilli. I live in Southern Cal, Ventura. Where does Florilli want it's CA drivers to park while at home? Are Florilli more forgiving for past mistakes? At SNI, I had two preventables. Both were in truck stops. But I can't get anyone to hire m e a the moment. I'm not sure what my DAC or USIS says, but I do know my MVR is good. Good as in Zero points. With today's economy, sitting doesn't bother me. Sometimes good things come to those who wait. Besides, idle time is a good time to make contacts, so when I take the plunge and become a independent O/O, I'll have some possible business thrown my way. That's the plan anyhow. So Florilli will keep food on the table for my lady and her kid?
