Southern Ag Carriers reviews

It was nice working there indeed. They always had a celebratory day for drivers, always was attentive to driver's needs for the truck. I only had problem with the pay for.my experience

If you’re out of the Dunn, NC terminal, regional is considered to be VA, NC, SC, very tip of eastern GA-no matter what recruiting tells you. 99% of your loads will be less than 175 miles. If you like unloading, loading, unloading in one day and burning your 14 hour clock , then that’s for you. Most loads are around a 150 mile radius of the Dunn terminal and no matter what you say, that’s what you’ll get. Most loads are planned so tight that you hardly have time to make on time pick up or delivery. You are paid 28% of the load. Long haul runs VA over to I-35. According to recruiting, you’re out 7-10 days and home for 2. The TM said you could choose mileage or percentage for this. I have no experience with that with this company at this time. I’m sure it’s different out of Albany, GA. Cameras-DRIVER FACING actively monitored. For your pre & post trip, you MUST take pictures of the equipment. Home time is every weekend for regional. Wait times for loads can sometimes be long. I waited 24 hours for a load around the ATL. Who can’t get a load out of the ATL area? Sometimes there is a wait for empty trailers as well. Dispatch in Dunn is more than laid back. Sometimes I think I need to check them for a pulse. Just don’t question them about anything. Then they get vindictive. Equipment- Most of the trailers are rusted out pieces of garbage. Landing gear hard as heck to roll up/down, holes, etc. I was told they are getting 100 new ones and rotating out the old ones. We’ll see. Trucks-If you’re out of Dunn, you will mostly be getting leased Ryder Internationals. Stripped down. No fridge, maybe an inverter. Mine has a double bunk that is fixed in the down position (even though no riders/pets allowed), a 1500 watt inverter and 2 closets with no doors (yep, stuff falls all over the place). Benefits-Medical at the moment is Cigna with a self funded plan also. Cost for employee only is about $40/week. Add spouse and it’s $135/week.Dental-Reasonable (I can’t remember the company-I think delta dental) about $12.50/week for employee & spouse. $1,000 per year MAXIMUM that it will pay for (which we all know is a cleaning and a couple cavities).Vision-About $4.00/week for employee & spouse. Pretty standard coverage.

Southern ag is a family oriented place to work they need to do away with the older trailers but other than that it's an excellent place to work

Dispatchers and manager are not for you schedule runs with ABSOLUTELY no room for fueling or a break. Plus the pay is awful. I brought home after being out 5 days 650-750 weekly

It's a good company people are great but home time is not there for me I live in Florida and only see FL for 2 days every 2 weeks
