Sunco

Well they are sometimes. I was told to back into door 52. There was a food lion trailer next to the spot I was supposed to back in. There was also one in the spot by door 54. Guess who backed into the wrong door. The good thing, they didn't make me move, just unloaded me there.

 

In Miami, appointment 7am, didn't start unloading me till 10 am, got paid $150.00 for the wait

 

Well looks like ill be heading to orientation on April 9th... I'm committed to hauling freight with landstar until 4/6... Sows how's there orientation???

 

It's two days. There was just me and another fellow when I went through. Not boring,laid back

 

Hey LMB... Thx again for all the info... I got into orientation a week early, finished up today... Hopefully get a load in the morning. The people over there are awesome and tell you like it is... I'm looking forward to this

 

I'm just getting unloaded on my first run with sunco up here at Kroger in Salem, VA... your right the loads out of Florida don't pay that well, $1.30 per mile, but the one back down to Miami pays $2.21... I really like it here so far. My FM is Marisol, she's pretty easy to deal with.

 

Do you guys choose your loads off a board? Or do you have a dispatcher that gives you a choice of a few loads?

 

They just assign you loads... I suppose you could refuse, but from what everyone is telling me they keep you moving when your out and get you home when you need to be, so I don't see the point. I will say its hard coming over from landstar... I'm not used to having a dispatcher at all..

 

Let me rephrase that... You most certainly can refuse loads... But I wouldn't because you get put to the back of the list... All the loads out of FL pay crap... The loads back down pay better.. LMB has been here longer and probably has felt with this more

 

It is not forced dispatch. They have called me many times with multiple choices for loads. When you m/t they will try to find you the nearest load. first 150 miles is free, after that you get paid to your pickup
