      Pros

      union wage and benefits medical and pension

      Cons

      Mandatory six day work week and only holiday off is Christmas and they start back up at 1201 midnight. They need to realize employees are human beings with lives besides work. Some management there can be very petty and not above childish games. They're not above wasting company money in doing so. There is a need of a adult in the room for accountability. If Ft. Smith made aware of wasteful games they stop for a short time and I feel if Ft. Smith knew about all of the games they would clean the place up. When you realize what and how they are there is no way you can have any respect or regard for them. It's a shame it could be so much better there with some changes.

      Pros

      Low stress environment. No cost Healthcare benefits. An amazing Defined Benifit Pension. Terrific Company to work for.

      Cons

      Working on a cold dock in the Winter with do doors. Some workers that don’t appreciate the benifits of working under a Teamster contract.

      Pros

      Pay is best in the business. $100,000+ first year as a road driver. Year two I made $107,000… and took two months off for cancer surgery. Year three I made $129,000. I average 2-3 nights per week in a hotel. Usually only 1 night out then back home the next day. Frequently running turns (home at end of the run). Insurance is free and EXCELLENT coverage. I paid $1,000 total out-of-pocket for cancer surgery.

      Cons

      Not much life/work balance. Frustrating spending time on the extra board waiting to get a call to go to work, but with more seniority you get less wait time.
