As a driver for sysco I highly doubt that those things went on. I have been in and around yards and they are all about safety and hos. They have had Electronic logs company wide in the US for as long as i can remember. I think the drivers were just ■■■■ hurt they had to work longer hrs. I do remember having 1000 case loads a day but heck that made the day go by and man were the checks great now we are lucky to get 800 cases a day. But its trucking yiu have your ups and downs. You just gotta know how to pull your pants up and get to work. As far as the equipment there was a stall on new equipment due to covid but our oldest truck in our yard is a 2022 i believe and our trailers are in pretty good shape as well. Best local job I have ever worked.
My son worked for them, and from what I’ve heard ,I just have to wonder if you were compensated to type what you did. This is a long time coming and just a sliver of what’s coming for them across the Nation.
