      Just a paycheck

      Truck driver
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay isn't horrible and equipment is fairly new

      Cons

      You're just a driver code and your opinions and suggestions are neither valued or respected. You will be told to drive out your full hours and use your exception to forward loads although it's illegal. Mandatory slip seat with no repercussions for drivers who break or leave unit a pigsty. Send you BS surveys but don't actually do anything about real issues. Send you safety messages that clearly indicates staff has no idea what's involved in driving a semi. If you just shut up and do exactly what you're told (regardless if it's unsafe or illegal) you'll make a mediocre paycheck.
