    Stay away from bloody chicken from Sanderson Farms.

    Late product loading...8-10 hours

    blood on the reefer floors

    Overweight ....and will tell you its not there problem

    I told them I will not haul over 42,000 with my truck and trailer, they load 46,000. When I go back to have them take off 2000 lbs they say go back to my cab....they make me wait 8 hours to rework it...

    screw this....Sanderson Farms is a freaking Circus on LSD

    I don't think they know how to count either from what I hear. Husband had extra on a load, then at receiver they had to decide what to do with it and why it was there. Fun.

    True words 'olhand....Sanderson is no worse than Tyson and fresh chicken - well, it can make a trailer tad messy. I avoid hauling for any of the chicken places when possible but the money is generally pretty good to deal with the BS.

    Sanderson farms dont just screw over trucks,l they screw over their brokers too. Had a truck on its way in there then they got stopped because of dot. Long story short I got the ok from sanderson to go ahead and send the truck in there next day. picked it up and ran straight to Orlando. Thought everything was fine. a week and a half latter, they send me a bill for 4000 for a late fee and wont even talk to me to try and come to a deal. I was one of their main carriers, did 10-15 loads a week for them and always there when they needed a truck. Not to mention, they dont pay detention, overweight, will claim you for just about anything. Beware of these guys, they are crooks
