Default Florilli Transport?

Just wondering if anyone has worked for them. Can't seem to find anything new on them or older for that matter. Have been approved to go just wanting to see what the take is on them. Thanks

I haven't worked for them but I remember reading elsewhere about a year ago how horrible they were. I don't see how they could be that bad though. They seem to have nice equipment and they're not that big of a company. Have you had any luck running into one of their drivers at a truck stop or some where and talking with them ? Since they're not really big it might hard to find a lot of information on them online.

ive never ran into one of there drivers anywhere. Found a couple of posts on another site a bit ago that were old saying how bad they were but nothing else. Dunno, thinking them or another company that called the other day, West Side Trans. looking hard for something good. thanks for the reply though.

oregon, california, washington, arizona, and utah DOT love florilli so much that their inspecters often come out of the main building to greet the driver and tell him or her to pull around back to an open lane for an inspection. this happens a LOT for them whenever i see them in oregon and washington, and it's usually just after they've blown right by me. i laugh because the short time it took for them to pass is wasted since they'll be very likely put OOS for something.

West Siside would be an excellent choice. Don't know anything about Florilli. I did work for Westside and they treat you well.

I worked for Florilli YEARS ago and the advice I am giving you now is the SAME I gave back then STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THAT POS Company. Their Senior VP Only has his Job BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE. She is the OWNERS STEP DAUGHTER. The Owner of that Place does not even have a Regular License anymore since he can not pass a bar without going into it for a Drink. He has also been to Rehab multiple Times. In the 16 Months I was there he went to Rehab 3 times we as Drivers are SURE OF. The Safe Stat of the Fleet right now for Drivers is 84 for the Trucks it is 44 so the DOT will be your BEST FRIEND.

Well i dont think il be going to Florilli, I dont like having friends like the DOT. I'm still looking at a few different places like West Side, Malone and Melton. Ill be making a solid decision soon. Only problem I see with west side on the regional fleet of only running 2000 miles a week. Thanks all for the info on Florilli and West side. better to have a little info than going somewhere blind.

Melton is a good outfit. They do not get bothered by DOT.
