    Yep. They're out of Dade City, Florida. They've got a thing with Publix. See them doing drop and hooks at Publix Distribution Centers.

    I’ve come to realize there are two. Both owned by brothers but different companies. Rowland transportation told me they do the Publix runs, they only go to FL, GA, the Carolina’s and Tennessee. Rowland truck lines does more of an actual se regional deal with their main run being to Texas but they run all the states in between as well. I’m going to call the recruiter on Monday for RTL

    Was able to talk to a driver through Facebook. Said he’s been with Rowland truck lines for 10 years now. Has a dedicated route to Texas and back on 4 off 3. Says the miles are there if you want them

    That all looks good, aside from that horrible detention schedule.

    Most companies pay after two hours, because that's the industry standard for a live load/unload. Anything longer, and the company/driver is losing money. If the other company with 1 hr detention for reefer is paying anything close, it would be the better gig... provided its also $20/hr like most places.

    I bet that $15@4 detention means they have a lot of LONG waits at their customers.
