Pros

Fun environment and good learning experience. Anyone can get a job.

Cons

Revolving door of employees. Nepotism like crazy which is weird to see. Executives don't care about lower level employees at all and don't play by same rules as regular employees doing the same tasks.

Pros

The staff here is nice, all the equipment is newer, everything is automatic if you call that a pro. You work 10-14 hr days. You also get your own truck and the loads are pretty easy. If you get stuck out past your 14 they get you a hotel(rarely happens).

Cons

Ohio area has high turn over rate because of the lost coke account over a year ago. All they do now is broker loads and run a small smuckers and water load. They will tell you they are busy during the phone interview but everyone quits after a few weeks because of the small pay checks. Out of the new people we've hired over the past 3 months, no one is here anymore. They give the good loads to their veteran drivers so they won't quit either.
