Sutco is a family company, this means your not just a number. They have a diverse group of drivers, everyone is welcome here. They use E-logs and there is great communication with dispatch. Good training, you run with a trainer till you are comfortable to go out on your own, be that 1 day or 3 weeks. Payrate is good, depending on your driving style and what division you go into, my conversations with drivers has been to expect take home to be (after all deductions) between $4,000 - $6,000 a month.
Sutco has a few divisions to choose from.
-General Freight (Highway) where you can expect to get home every weekend.
-Residuals (Chips/Hog, Shiftwork) where you can expect to get home every day
-Logging where you also get home every day

Typical day Work going back and forth with front and loader about 1000  times a day bringing wood to the chipper.  The wood piles are about a kilometre down the road. I learned absolutely nothing. 
 One of the most toxic places I’ve worked. 
They need new management and new foreman. Most of the foreman of substance problems.
Knowing I had to get up and go work at the same place the next day.   
There was absolutely nothing enjoyable working there. 

This is certainly a great company to work for as far as fair pay and working all year round. I would recommend working here to someone who is ambitious and wants to earn as much as they can. There is of course enormous challenges with adverse conditions and maintenance scheduling in the trucking industry. I am always seeing improvements in this company as it takes pride in their management.  There is outstanding support from dispatch on the road as well.

You can expect to max out your Hours of Service nearly every shift (and often exceed them during winter months), which means the work-life balance leans more toward work than life. Suppose you work a 14-hour shift, then come home to clean up and eat (maybe that consumes an hour), and get some rest with eight hours of sleep. The next day you wake up, freshen up, have something to eat, pack a lunch (another hour) and—well, that's 24 hours. That's your work week. Work, sleep, eat. There is very little, if any, time for your family. It's fine if you're single, but otherwise ... yeah.

Working at Sutco was a ok. They have several divisions from logging to flat deck to residuals. They have long haul and local work options so if you want to be home every night you can haul the residuals such as wood chips or go long haul with there flat deck division. 24 hour dispatch is nice to have, and they offer good benefits.

You are an employee, and a part of a Team. Management is very supportive, Sutherland really support you. As a work from home agent, its really a great shift, if you have great stats, you get a better shift. I really like working here!
