    I have have drove for these clowns and know them very well.
    Warning STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY.
    1. Fleet mgr is a back stabbing Jack ###. (KEN)... As nasty to drivers as the owner is.
    2. He will try to push you to run 770 miles a day (Yea right).
    3. They charge drivers 1,000 in case you damage there trucks (Only they are all damaged already).
    4. Trucks are dirty and old, beat, broken and MX is a joke.
    5. Dispatch is poor. They don't last cant work with the Jack ### (Ken)
    6. They will fire you over nothing. And lie about your service to them.
    8. They demand you run outlaw I refused that's why they fired me.
    9. You will run your tail off and some how you will never make over 400.00 per week.
    10. All this crap comes right down from the top the owner (Guy W) driver hater.
    11. These pin heads do not under stand that the only reason they have what they have is because of the hard work and weeks on the road there drivers put in...
    They advertise all the time and have a revolving door of drivers quiting and getting fired for trying to stay with in the DOT REGS

    If you have any more questions about these horrable companys let me know. Be glad to tell you more.All companys run by the same person person.

    read what the OP said. If you're willing to do what he suggests, it's as much your fault as it is their's.

    I'm confused. 770 miles a day, run outlaw but only make $400 a week. Something does not add up.
     
    OmcCheese and Lonesome Thank this.

    OP ain't lying. I just looked up the safety score:

    1) Within recent 24 month period they've had 109 "Vehicle & Driver" inspections; which led to 5 vehicles put out of service & 15 drivers put out of service.

    2) Fatigued Truck Driving (Hours-of-Service) BASIC Roadside Performance : (Out of 100 points they've landed 96 points). AKA: way above intervention threshold.

    "Sunland Distribution" (DOT# 1692817) is the name of this company. They've opened up another comapny (at the same physical address) called "Sunland Distribution of Florida" (DOT# 2247591). It appears they're well prepared to re open under this new name & DOT# if/when DOT shuts them down.

    True but if you keep reading,they fired him for not doing what they tried forcing him to do and that is run outlaw.He may have ran outlaw sometime during his employment with this low life company,many do in this industry and many finally wake up like this guy did which ultimately cost him his job.

    Because drivers aren't doing the math or need a job too bad to say anything.With miles and pay like this,id rather pick up garbage along the highway for a living.

    The OP record could be spotty, might be why he hired on....there is no tellin'. The deal with runnin Outlaw is if you do it JUST ONCE, they have you on the hook for what is expected further down the line.
