SOUTHERN HAULERS, LLC.

Southern haulers is an OK company to work for as a driver if you take into account benefits and compensation. Corporate refuses to listen to drivers when it comes to turning the trucks up to it it sufficient speed limit so that drivers are not forced to work an extra hour to two hours per day and drivers are not able to safely and efficiently pass slower trucks that may be set to anywhere from  63 to 65 mph. Company gives the excuse that  The reason for the speed being set so low is for insurance reasons are fuel consumption reasonsNone of the drivers are buying their excuses and have repeatedly asked for maybe the trucks to be turned up to 70 or 72 mph. We’re not asking for 85 mph trucks were merely asking for a truck that can do the posted speed limit on the interstate.

Worked here 4+ years. It's a typical company run by "Bean counters". If you can keep your head down and DON'T bring up any issues, it's ok(?)  If you have something already, stick with it or keep looking. This IS NOT a company that cares one bit about your opinion or anything that might actually improve production. Equipment is typically "bandaged" and sent down the road. DON'T expect actual repairs. Pay is OK(?) Could be better, could be worse. But DO NOT believe one word when it comes to the "top" of their pay structure. MOST drivers are in the Middle + when it comes to pay. If you're only looking for "beer money" for Friday night, this will be a great fit for you! But beyond that???  Most drivers I've seen leave ( including me ), leave due to inconsistent pay and consistent equipment breakdowns. 

I believe this company has the potential to become something great but there’s just too many lies and people just for themselves. Not a team environment mostly do to the new manager. If you do not care about quality of work an just slapping equipment together without making everything professional, might be a job for you. Do not go into this company believing they want equipment repaired to a high industry standard. Do not go into this company believing there’s a chance to move up, it will be filled with false promises an lies. 

I started at Southern Haulers in December after walking away from the trucking industry. The reason I walked away was because I am a full time single father and it seemed like finding a driving job where I could make good money and be home daily was nearly impossible in the CDL trucking industry. But Southern Haulers promised they would make it happen & did just that. I have a GREAT dispatcher who gets me the loads I need and great pay, I’m able to drop my daughter off at school every morning and I’m home before she even settles in after school. Some days I’m out a tad bit later but that’s because of traffic, not my company. I’m glad I gave trucking another chance with Southern Haulers. 

I am very satisfied with choosing this company, I work here as a regional driver, The home time is great and I occasionally get through the house during the week if I so choose. I am working less and getting paid more than my previous job of being there for 25yrs. There are always room for improvement no matter where you work, but with a little time it can only get better. 

I’ve been here since October coming from OTR this Was a good step down and a good fit for Hometime and pay. A few hiccups here and there but was able to work thru them. Time off whenever you need it and the pay is insane,if you a good driver and can hustle. Im a honest person and don’t sugar coat. Management stays out your way and let’s you do you. If you wanna make very good pay and be home on weekends then this is the place to try out.

The loads are endless they will let you eat!!

I have worked here for seven years now good work evironment able to easily get along with manager and all fellow employees fair communication between 1st and 2nd shift  company is family oriented and understand that thier employees have lives and things happen they offer bennifets such as health insurance life insurance 401k paid vacation ect 

Note.. still currently employed with company and don't intend to leave any time soon

They will work you 24-7 .. Even though the trucks are newer they're trash the trailers are trash. Maintenance on the trucks in the trailers was non-existent.. Youu had to work real hard just to keep track of what trailers you can use without getting a violation. They would try to push you past your regular hours. No extra pay for working in very dangerous environments. I had to go to oil refineries regularly, one had blown up about 4 months prior to me offloading.

A good company to work for. Great pay with good loads. My number one complaint however is lack of understanding from management that somedays the loads might not get done do to unforseen circumstances that we can't control. We can't go go go and do do do we're not machines. Management needs to put themselves in our shoes and truly see what can and can't be done. Also the trucks need to be turned up to at least 70mph to keep up with traffic. We would also gain an hour or two if we could drive the speed lomit.

Started off okay until they lost a major contract in the area then pay went way down to the minimum for months at a time. They might have work 3 days a week. Trailers were all older and leaking. Shop didn't keep up with annual inspections. No bonuses for safety or anything else. May have to do work on the side to make ends meet here. Dirty dusty job with very early start times some times but not consistently so hard to get into a good routine.
