Sure wish I could get info from drivers about this company, not recruiters.

 

I was there for quite a while running good miles and making $$$.. They got rid of their manager and brought in some doozys for office staff. The old manager was constantly communicating with me and all other drivers as to our needs that week for miles which was great to see. This all stopped and I then had to run what they had like downtown Atlanta at 3am. My miles were about 2 - 2300 miles a week and dropped to 1000 - 1200 miles a week. They will promise you the moon but you will never get it. Lets keep it short. IF YOU WANT IT GO FOR IT...NOT FOR THIS DRIVER.

 

This is exactly who I drive for now. No complaints. A lot better and easier than Sygma Illinois.

 

This is a good Ole boy company in Daytona where based on getting hurt while at work I have been terminated. So if you are unable to tailgate loaded pallets and load store dunage for free they have no need for you in the Daytona Beach office working for Scott,Kelvin and Russ.

 

Any new information on this company?
I'm thinking of leasing on out of the quincy Florida location.

 

Do it at your on risk.. The family is great.... I have met them several times.. but the people running this thing are doing the greatwide shuffle... Throw more and more on the O/O until he is broke.. then they move along to the next one... I am no longer with them as I was tired of being misled...

 

I ran for the Champaign terminal (KLB is now running as Drake Refrigerated there ) for a while (over 2 years). I can second what these fellas are saying. They pay all miles (shortest route, address to address). They reimburse tolls and anything you pay to fix a trailer. And you get discounted insurance. But aside from that you'll pay for everything. The miles will start out good and then drop off fairly soon. Especially if you don't kiss dispatcher butt. I did well while I was driving for another owner. Drivers for owners with multiple trucks will generally get better runs. Then I got my own truck and did well for the first 4 months.Then it was a downhill slide. went from 2500+ miles to begging for 1500. I held out as long as I cared to.

I can't recommend them unless you live near a terminal and want to be home daily. The home daily thing was what kept me there as long as I was.

Now running for Mercer. Liking it much better here.

 

I hated to leave the home time was great... but the stuff that came with it is unbearable... Like I said the family was always around and cool as they could be... but the people they have in charge don't get it... I like to think the family is just oblivious to it... but it appears all the terminals run this way...
