      Pros

      Treat you like a human with good wages and benefits. Knowing I will always have to work for someone , I'm glad I found this place to work. Respect from a C.E.O. goes a long way with people who are the grunts,know they are the grunts, and see the C.E.O. treat them with the highest regard!

      Cons

      Long hours, loosing the family atmosphere as we grow. C. E. O. is no longer visible to most employees. Too bad the people in charge of most of the operations away from corporate do not have the same views of the people as does the founder!

      Pros

      The owner of Dayton Freight goes the extra mile when it comes to morale: family picnics, softball, safety rewards, etc. You can tell he really appreciates his employees. It's nice to work for a family owned company.Benefits are pretty good. If I hadn't moved out of state, I would like to think I'd still be working at Dayton Freight.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, some of the terminal managers are lacking experience in the industry and pick and choose favorite drivers, regardless of safety. This results in good drivers being let go for small infractions and other drivers staying on after major accidents that have cost the company thousands. Whatever you do-don't get sick. There are no sick days here, although that is the norm in this industry. However the sick leave policy is a little harsh.
