      Pros

      I like the title of this column..PRO'S. Not at Cowan. Been in the Trucking Business longer than I care to admit. That being said, These people do Everything and Anything they can to make a Professional Driver want to get OUT of Trucking. This Operation should be called "CLUELESS"

      Cons

      Con's. Thats a good one. Pretty soon that's all this operation will be able to hire .This column isn't big enough to list them. Take my word if you want. You DO NOT want to work for this Place......

      Pros

      There really are no Pros to working for the ATL branch. If you are considering Kansas City or Baltimore GO FOR IT!! They offer excellent training and great people to work for!!

      Cons

      Old/ Broken equipment, no training, upper management makes poor decisions, overworked and undervalued. This branch has the highest turn over rate and if you accept the job you will quickly see why! If you are an over achiever you will be given false promises that will NEVER be fulfilled and at the end of the day you will be doing 2- 3 peoples jobs for the price of one. You will never be rewarded and only told to work harder, the office environment is negative and there is NO communication. GET IN AND GET OUT!! if your looking to get your foot in the door LEARN as much as you can and GET OUT!!!

      I would not recommend any professional driver to work for this company.

      Pros

      The pay is ok if drivers don't mind transporting freight to the Northeastern corridor on a regular basis.

      Cons

      I can only speak about the way I was treated while employed with this company. Most of the dispatchers that I worked for in this company were the most rudest and disrespectful that I have worked with in my 13 years in the trucking industry. There is just an overall climate of disrespect. I got the feeling that the dispatchers and management felt as though all truck drivers were not truthful. That's an hard environment to work in.
