    Second hand information-

    A buddy worked as a company driver for them for a few years in the Boston area, bought a truck off of a retiring driver and kept with them another year as O/O, then switched to Dana away from dry bulk for a year seeing better rates, ended up going independent recently outside of bulk entirely though.

    I don't have rates current or previous but he talked about favoritism issues getting runs that paid well while leased on to them, similar to company regional guys.

    Thanks for the info gives me a idea that they are not who I want to lease with read the favoritism part on reviews as well & Dana is average pay so I can speculate foodliner will be less

    Chemicals will always pay more than foodgrade.
