Well the rule of thumb is, Canadian companies are the worst, and typically scam and abuse their drivers worse than anyone else. While I'm sure it happens in the US also, its pretty much what the Canadian trucking industry is known for.
As far as Scottlynn, my understanding (someone please correct me if i'm off here) is that they purchased some farms/the logistics company in Florida, after they were already well established in Canada; and re-branded it. Thus this is why it seems to operate quite differently from the Canadian side of things. Either way, if I was a US driver, I would prob work for 20 other reefer companies before going to work for Scottlynn.

Hoss, does the 1.05 include fuel or come out of the 1.05?
The thing is, if you got the truck through a non profit organization ,it doesn't matter if it's profitable or not.

The community looks after living expenses.
