People are great, money is great, equipment is good, but if you have a family this job is hard. You will always be asked to do extra every single week. They want to keep you out way too long. Moneys great, but when you look at how many hours you work it truly doesn’t add up.

They will push you yet the pay is good. If you want the money they have the runs. Management is very responsive and approachable. Dispatch isn’t always clear and knowledgeable about what being a truck driver entails yet overall a good company.

The owners are wonderful people. The staff is nice and happy. Wish there was more communication between drivers and dispatch. Wish dispatch would understand the concept of what local LTL actually means, other than that it was a great company to work for..

They would not pay for layovers, each and every time. I was always forced to take jobs I did not want. As a local driver, I still had to sleep in my truck as many as four times a week. It seamed that I was the driver that did the most drop and hooking in the yard, which is something drivers don't get payed for.

It was great in the beginning but they wanted me to drive on a closed highway. Highway was closed due to ice and wind. CHP closed the highway down. Dispatch said I have chains so go....

i like my driving job at Sorenson more than any previous ones. not all days or weeks are ideal but they try and make it the best they can for you and most of the time that works out. i don’t feel like just another truck number here and people make me feel like they care about my employment, my home life and my overall satisfaction. LTL trucking can suck but they do pay for not only each dock bump and miles but weight as well
