Pros

Flexible schedules that fit your needs. New equipment.

Cons

Micro-management. Will railroad you out the door over minor safety issues without warning. The pay is well below industry standard. No overtime at all, just a $100 bonus for working a 6th day. No advancement opportunities, they'll keep you in the truck and hire incompetent people to manage you. No PTO for the 1st year.
