Owner/operator working for Sysco questions

I thought my company was anal about micro managing, until I talked to a couple Sysco drivers. They were company drivers, not sure if they treat OO’s better.

 

I work with several Ex-Sysco and GFS drivers, they all say the same thing. Micro Managed into the ground, unrealistic delivery schedules/loads, lots of free work, 16-18 hours days, if you get hurt, they will drop you so fast your head will spin. As for O/O's, I see lots of them in Vancouver at night, doing 100km/hr in 50km/hr zones, cause they have no time, and won't get paid if anything is late. We have one guy at my company, who said he would work for Bison before he would ever go back to Sysco.

 

I saw an owner operator ad from them once for northern Saskatchewan.
I thought it said you had to have the ability to put another truck (perhaps a rental) on the road in the event that your primary truck went down.
Basically you had to guarantee service. If you or your truck went down, it was still your responsibility to cover the run.
