    Hey everybody.

    My application was approved over here but I haven't decided on an orientation date yet (probably within the next few weeks). I was hoping to catch some of the drivers out here on the road to get more info about this company. Is it still a pretty good company?

    This is just my opinion, a few of the drivers are not happy with the new mileage rate compared to the percentage, but a good work environment is also a plus when working for a company. I have been treated quite well here at Sunco/Watkins. I do not live in Florida, but I have always been home when I needed to be. My situation is different than others, I am on a dedicated account for Perdue, and run mostly in my home area. I am adequately paid for the work I do. The office personnel are always pleasant to speak to and work with. They do seem to care about the driver. Is it still a pretty good company, I would say yes

    I would agree with LMB. I came aboard THE VERY NEXT WEEK after they switched over to mileage, I must say that my ONLY complaint is compensation as it relates to the new pay system. I run the southeast, but when I say I want to stretch out I get that, "That's all that's going on." I'm going to try and get on something dedicated and see how that turns out, but just like LMB said the office personnel are top notch, any problem I had they were right on top of it.
     
    FLBosslady and DevilDog79 Thank this.

    Thanks Louisiana Gearjammer! It sucks that they did away the the percentage pay. :( I'm still thinking about coming over within the next 30 days. I just want to make sure Sunco/Watkins is going to meet my needs before I make a final decision.
