Pros

The schedule is good: Working most Monday thru Friday and having Holidays "off" is nice. The training is a plus".

Cons

The management is really bad. They do not do their job with professionalism.The drivers do not have the support when they really need it. The "Union" do not help you if you have a problem. The management does not care if you do your job properly, only they pay attention to the little mistakes", so they can" fire you". Or even... if you do NOT do anything wrong". There is discrimination here. "Pay attention and if you have a complaint against this Company, call Corporation immediately".
