System Freight reviews

good company. I worked for them a few yrs ago. I moved out of NJ. so I moved on to new company. I made good money, and it was all drop and hook. Best of all it is Union. Good luck. you will like it.

I will give you the quick run down on System Freight if you want... 

Syracuse: you will be working for a company called Rock Tenn delivering corragated cardboard... thats all they do. You may have to deliver to NYC at times and even deliver to Deer Park Long Island... Large Rolls of Paper.

I have the rate sheets for deliveries as you get paid by the load not the hour. Also the first hour of waiting time is free then you get 16 bucks an hour for sitting. But if you have multiple stops then each stop comes with 1 hour of wait time so if you make a delivery and it takes 15 minutes then go to your next stop and wait 2 hours you get nothing because you have 2 stops... hence saving the company 16 bucks.

You may have to start as a yard jockey first... that pays 17.10 an hour but you only get that if you do the jockey time in increments of 1 hour so if you work the yard for 50 minutes ... YOU GET NOTHING.

Equipment is ok... dont expect your AC to work in the summer.

Expect to work 12 hours a day... their theory is to have every driver work an average of 10.5 hours a day.

You will be an OTR driver that goes home everyday.

They still deliver the rolls the same way... mostly Gypsum delivering them.... System freight guys only carry 4 rolls because 90% of their trucks are sigle axles... the system guys only deliver in the event of an emergency. 

Oh btw the rolls are just placed in the trailers not secured... each roll is about 7K lbs. If you would like more info about System let me know. 

They are really short on drivers right now and if you can tolerate long days then you can make some decent money... I just dont see them as a long term job for anyone interest in longevity. There is better out there!!
