Pros

Great Pay and Benefits. Management Colleagues are nice to work with. Most Drivers/Dock Employees are good people and work hard for you. Not very nit-picky about some work rules/policies. More laid back than other companies (can be good to a degree) I have spoken to employees at other terminals and Linehaul drivers, very nice people.

Cons

Terminal management is afraid of upper management and Union employees. A handful of Union employees are like a Cancer at the Detroit Terminal. Hence the saying, " a few bad apples spoil the bunch". They can create a very poor work environment. Terminal Service Manager(s) seem too young and inexperienced to deal with a larger terminal such as Detroit. Bad communication. Excessive terminal slow down when other LTL companies are thriving; no explanation from upper management.

Pros

You will be paid for most everything you do. Newer Tractors with Automatic transmission. Good Insurance. Union scale pay. Teamster representation. Pension. Teamwork among longtime employees.

Cons

No vacation for 2 years. 7 day 24 hour operation. You'll make a good living but will not have a life. Management really doesn't care if you get any home time. New drivers will mostly work nights and weekends. Motels you will stay in are bottom of the barrel accommodations. You are a number not a person. You will live by your phone and newer drivers might not get out for days and then you'll be forced out when you're most tired of waiting. Slowest freight trucks on the highway. 61 to 62 mph is top speed of tractors. Long mileage runs with slow trucks and ELD computers put a lot of stress on you. Line haul drivers expected to work minimum of 6 days a week.
