    So far I have been with this company going on 7 months now and it has been very good.They treat the drivers very well, the pay is just fantastic!! You get quarterly bonuses up to $600 for order accuracy and on time delivery, plus a yearly safety bonus paid once a year starting at $1000 for your 1st year. I'm currently a driver helper with a CDL, soon to become a driver, probably in the spring. I didn't have a lot of experience when I came aboard, so I get all the seat time I want with the help of veteran drivers tips and advice . I dispatch 4 times a week for about 12 hours a run. So bi-weekly I'm bring home around $1000 a week.
    If you don't mind touching freight, and I mean a lot of freight, sweating during the summer and freezing during the winter, running up and down a ramp with a 2-wheeler, bringing a 18-wheeler into places that are barely suited for a car, then this is a very good company to work for.

    Aren't they someway related to Sysco Foodservice? Anytime you take anything into Sysco you have to unload, they have their special "pallets"....not my favorite place to go and do my best to avoid them. :biggrin_25510:

    Yeah they are part of Sysco, although I have no idea how Sysco does thing, especially when it comes to their incoming freight. I know the backhauls we do ourselves are on pallets, and any of the OTR drivers, if its not on pallets then they use lumpers.

    Thought about working for this company out of San Antonio. I've been off the road for a while do they have retraining?

    They hired me with very little experience, and now are going to make me a driver after training me with other drivers. So the answer to the question is yes, at least in the location that I work out of.

    Does anyone have a phone number for a recruiter, possibly in the Ohio area?

    Sysco is the mother company to Sygma. Sysco is exactly like Sygma when it comes to touching freight except Sysco uses very small trailers and Sysco drivers are usually home daily for they don't run all the miles that a Sygma driver will do.

    Sysco drivers are paid hourly and most are union. Although, some are not.

    I've been # Sygma Illinois for little over a year and love it. I am leaving out tonight, too!

    I had applied back in January here in Dallas but I never heard anything back from them. I ran into another driver the other day and he said that they had a hiring freeze right now.

    Has anyone else from the Dallas area heard anything different?
