What turned you away wizer. I think the only problem I could see with this is the mileage rate is pretty low and I can see someone sitting on the dock waiting to get loaded for hours. If they can get you 25 to 28 hundred miles a week it seems you can do pretty well with them but what did you hear from them that turned you off. I am going to talk to a recruiter but I want to know all I can learn before I make a choice. I have flatbedded up until now with some reefer work but not grocery. I have heard a lot of bad about grocery, lots of waiting and dock people treating you like poop. I can handle that but what specifically was the problem that caused you to say no?

 

I dont know a lot about them, but they advertised in the Truckpaper about getting home 3 or 4 times a week, and when I talked to them, they can get me home on the weekends. I have that now, and I was just looking for something to get me home more, family time. I would call and talk to Paul Brown, he seemed pretty straight with me. I hope this helps.

If you have questions on the Front Royal Fleet, PM me, I'll get you the facts, the other ones I can't help you with.
93 cpm on PC Practical miles.
All miles paid
They deliver live or drop and hook to 14 locations.
FSC runs off a $1.20 base it's based on 6 miles per gallon.
Yes you can go home in fact the make a point of putting you at your house every weekend.
Either home early Friday go out Sunday Night or home Late Friday early Saturday go out Monday.
or call them at 866-763-2003

Talk to their drivers but make sure it is the Sysco fleet the other ones do other things and pay different.

 

We run for them sometimes when it gets light around here.

1) no, it's not completely all drop and hook. It's about 50-50. When you do have to live unload, it's pretty quick.
Sysco is their main customer out of front royal and thus brisk trucks get 1st priority over any other carrier.

2) Yes, you will run empty quite a bit. When loaded expect to be close to 80,000.

3) It seems like it's mostly running hard at night to make the early am deliveries.

4) their trailers are in great shape.

Most of the O/O's i see are pretty happy (if it's possible for an O/O to be happy) with the program.

 

i live near the harrisburg terminal. do they have positions for company drivers or is it all O/O?

They are looking for help.

 

OK, update 12/26/06:

We can't pull for them anymore (per managment) because "we are having problems with them paying us."

So.......just thought u like to know dat.

 

A multi Billion dollar company.
They were just bought.
I think you have them confused or your people are incorrect.
