sefl and averitt both are huge in the south and texas. the thing they both do the best is the states they dont cover, they have other regional ltl companies carry it to the customer, and those other ltl companies are as good as averitt and sefl. for example, sefl hands off 4-5 53' loads to dayton freight each day, and thats not counting at night. louisville ky comes down to nashville tn and to get the freight. sefl has so many swaps in the nashville area its amazing. their employees are paid very well, and I havent heard any of them say how they hate theor company, I mean you might here once and a while a disgruntle employee on how he has to go back out and do a swap, or something to that effect. they dont bad mouth their company like the vitran employees do here. the bottom line to the misery here is $$$$$$$. thats the root of all evil, but the stem of happiness. I tried getting on over at sefl, A driver told me that when they had 2 openings over there, they had 400 plus people put in for the job. that says a whole lot on how good that company is. dam I just read over my words and it sounds like I am a manager over at sefl lol
