Pros

With the new contract in place you can make good money here especially when there's overtime available. Union protection and benefits to include the best healthcare for you and your family as well as a pension for when you retire. Very relaxed environment you will never feel as though you are being rushed or stressed at work in comparison with other jobs.

Cons

Work goes based on seniority so you might have a schedule or job title that you may not like. It'll take a while to get a driving job because of seniority you will be working the dock or hostling mostly. Overtime is great when its there but sometimes its slow and a 40 hour check may not cut it for some people, overtime is based on seniority as well.

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.
